How is the Pass Labs X150.5 at low volume?


I’m interested in owner’s thoughts on the X150.5 I’m thinking of parting ways with my ARC D400MKII. The X150.5 has been on my want list…I’m mainly a late night, low volume listener. Wondering how the Pass does at low levels.

Pre: Primaluna prologue 3
Speakers: ProAc Response D2
DAC- Arc dac-7

Pass Labs amps are exceptional having owned a number of them for forty years. But I would not call the x series warm… they are not cold or analytical. I have nothing but praise for them. if fed a warm signal you will get warm output. The XA series are a bit warmer.
Hasmarto,
yes the pass amp will load down your tube pre amp
like I said .
what part of my statement  don’t you understand.?
try to listen to your ARC amp. With an ARC Ref level Pre amp
and you should be in great shape

@audioconnection , I don’t have a ARC amp, and never will, I’m looking for class A Pass amp, and the input impedance is 50/100 Kohms, SE/Balanced, so kinda thought you’re implying that their (Pass) input impedance is on the lower side, wanted to clarify the issue.

No need to be defensive here, I’m not your enemy, just read carefully, and I’m not the OP.

Have a good day.
