Pass Labs XP-10 and XP-20 Preamps

Filed under: Home Audio > Preamplifiers



Pass Labs has released two new Class A analog line stage preamplifiers, the XP-10 ($5,000) and the XP-20 ($8,000). The XP-10 is a single chassis design, featuring two balanced and three single-ended inputs, balanced and single-ended outputs with identical gain, a high-resolution volume control with 1dB steps, and a remote control with direct input access. One of the inputs can be configured for home theater bypass.


The XP-20 adds a much larger outboard power supply, a tape loop, an extra set of single-ended outputs, and a 12V trigger for powering on an amplifier.
