Pass Labs XP-25

[rockitman]

Hello Folks. The itch to replace my phono-pre to a reference level component won't go away. The units I have considered w/o actually a demo in my system:

Manley Steelhead
Allnic H-3000
Aesthetix IO
Pass XP-25

I have read nothing but glowing reviews of this piece (Pass XP-25). It appears to have a very detailed and large soundstage coupled with a warmer tonal balance consistent with tubes, but wihout the bloom/noise ect. The easy & convenient loading adjustments and two inputs are a dream for me. Another arm and cart is in my future as the table allows for two.

Does anyone own one ? Your impressions ? I may pull the trigger today on one. The dealer offers a 15 day in home trial.

My system:

Analog:
Clearaudio Innovation Wood Compact, Universal Arm
Shelter Harmony cart

Pre: Mark Levinson 380S

Amps: Pass Labs XA-100.5
Speakers: Wilson W/P 8

Thanks in advance.
