Fine nuances and details, which frequently have gone un-noticed, now
become apparent -- even in loud and highly complex musical
passages.
The simple truth is that a decade of knowledge and experience gained,
coupled with new component technology, has enabled both enhanced
performance and listening satisfaction over the building blocks we had
available when the original X series pre-amplifiers came to market.
Pass Laboratories has not been shy about taking advantage of these
circuit innovations and new components in these new pre-amplifiers.
You will hear, and appreciate, these significant sonic improvements as
you experience the XP series product.
Collectively, audiophiles tend to listen quite a bit differently today, than
they did when the original X preamps were created, and the XP line of
product have all been designed to reflect those changes in listening
style.
Pass Laboratories has redesigned the remote control to allow direct
access to the most frequently wanted control functions, thus simplifying
and enhancing product operation. The new remote control codes have
been carefully selected to minimize the impact on other remote
controlled electronic devices, allowing for more carefree product
placement.
Volume control steps on the new pre-amplifiers are more numerous
and generally of smaller increments, giving the listener a wider choice
of listening levels to better accommodate the wildly-fluctuating levels of
current, verses legacy, recordings.
