Pass labs upgrade path

doesn’t allow users to speak to one another creating a unsafe marketplace (haven’t sold here since 2011)

After not selling any gear for many years, within the last year I have sold two amps and three pairs of cables. At least for most of my items, after a potential buyer had made an offer, A'gon provided the person’s email address and/or phone number and I assume they were provided mine. As such, I talked or emailed with all of the buyers prior to sale to get comfortable.

It’s been a while, but that’s what I remember.  I wish a moderator would chime in here and let us know if this is correct and A'gon policy as many potential sellers and buyers would be very interested in communicating with their counterpart in a sale prior to finalizing the transaction. 

I am too ignorant to know what PNB KAS Speakers are?

@jeffseight Don't feel bad. Everyone here tries to use as short an acronym-filled name as possible, pretending that anyone who has ever heard a good system would definitely know what they are talking about.  In reality, everyone (who cares) just googles them.  

I'd upgrade the pre. I'd go with the XP-22 and use the money that you would have spent on the XP-30 and get the best power cord you can afford for it.

You need to hear the .8 series amp. You can search for reviews to get a sense of what it does differently from the .5 series.

In any case, I think you'll yield more by upgrading your preamp.

I haven’t sprung for the Townsend platforms yet, but @millercarbon was definitely right about the Nobsound springs.

Big improvement under my speakers and they are crazy cheap.

 I’d prefer that no one tries to ban anyone with good advice.  It’s hard to come by.
