Designed with considerable technical improvements over past preamplifiers, the XP-10 showers the listener with a more dynamic sound, cleaner and more accurately delineated bass lines and a greatly refined spatial envelope. Though the current entry-level line-stage preamplifier, this descendant of the highly acclaimed and successful Pass Laboratory's X series preamplifiers sounds and measures significantly better than its predecessors.
“With the PASS’ “textured” sound, vocals were especially good. Individual singers’ timbre were more quickly and easily identifiable.” Larry Cox
