Well deserved. Congrats to Wayne and Pass Labs! As great as the XP-30 sounds, I wouldn't have expected that Wayne could build a preamp that sounds materially better.

No arguments from me! It's the best preamp I've ever owned. Dead freaking quiet. It augments and never takes anything away.

Hi Mike,

I like your new avatar! Does this mean the XS Phonostage will be added to the stable in 2015?

Yes, 100%. I sold my ARC phono yesterday. I will use my Pass xp15 for now. I hooked it up last night and there was an undeniable synergy with the rest of my Pass system. I will now just wait for the XS phono. Probably April/May time frame I'm guessing.

Wow, that's terrific, congrats! I'm sure it will really be something special. Can't wait to read your review.

Thanks Ken. I will be sure to give it some hours and then post my thoughts.

OMG Mike, that will be something. If that doesn't define destination I can't imagine what does. Only thing left would be flavor; not better.

This is exactly what I've said to Joe. I could get different, but not better. The XS gear is such leaps and bounds above anything and everything I've ever had.

XS amps/preamp on Magico would be scary good.
