This is a superbly well-measuring, bombproof preamplifier.—John Atkinson
Frank your comment above about the XP-30's make me think it may help my XA200.5's (as compared to an ARC or Conrad Johnson pre) if I go with the Magico Q5 given their low-end voicing. Agree??

Thanks Paul! I'll give a review once the XP-30 is fully broken in. I like the fact that the XP-30 tested very well on JA's bench and one of the major reasons I purchased it was its bombproof design. Frank made some great points about the synergy that would derived by adding the XP-30 to my XA-100.5. I would imagine the same would be true with the XA-200.5, which is very similar in sonic character to the XA-100.5 but considerably more powerful.
All the best,
Ken
