Product Description

This large, dual-chassis preamplifier is built in true dual-mono arrangement. Each channel has its own power supply board with over 100,000uf of capacitance for unfettered transient response. Noise levels have been dropped from the already low-noise XP30. Refined circuit design and layout, new gain-stages with auto-bias and DC compensation all combine for optimal performance. But it all comes down to sound; once you listen to the Xs preamplifier, there is no going back.

Features

Dual-Mono, Three-Chassis Design:

Each channel has its own power supply and circuit boards, and the power supply is also dual-mono with three double-shielded transformers

New Gain Circuit:

The gain circuit features higher bias, better stability, and lower noise, resulting in improved resolution and dynamics

Toshiba FETs and MOSFETs:

The input stage uses Toshiba FETs, and the output stage uses Toshiba MOSFETs. 

Class A Bias and Lower Output Impedance:

The output stage runs a higher class A bias, has auto-bias, and has lower output impedance, allowing it to drive long cable runs and various power amplifiers.

Brand

Pass Labs

Pass Laboratories, Inc. was founded in 1991. Nelson Pass began developing a unique prototype out of his shop at home. That prototype, a single-ended Class A amplifier, became what many acclaimed as the “amplifier of the decade.” Consequently, Pass Labs is one of the most prestigious brands in the audio world. Pass Labs' mission is “to build simple amplifiers that are distortion free and sound as good as possible.”

Pass Labs has forged timeless designs for their Preamplifiers and Amplifiers. Most of them still incorporate a lot of the same components used during the original creations decades ago.  Pass Labs released the X1000 in 1998 with their patented SuperSymmetric technology. Subsequently this groundbreaking design paved the way for how Pass Labs develops models to this day. In 2017, Nelson Pass was awarded the Positive Feedback’s Lifetime Achievement to commend his incredible work on amplifier technology. In short, Pass Labs continues to break boundaries for amplifier design. Thus improving all aspects on every release.
