I realized that my setup is now entirely Californian based.
Just bought a modest X2 pre-amp in front of my X600's, so all vintage stuff, but I was surprised how good to me ears this little jewel sounds.
I've had, and maybe some other people too, my paradigm about pre-amps from Pass (and Threshold for that matter), because they weren't designed by Nelson Pass (alone) that they weren't as good as the amps. As it stands now, I was wrong about the Threshold FET Eleven (TEN HL G in USA) and about this X2 too.
Bonus is that I like the three dials on the fascia also and I don't matter standing up to adjust the volume...(yet).
Thanks Wayne.

I'm always stressing that Wayne is Full Nelson, while Nelson is ....... well - just Nelson
Papa obviously left harder work for Wayne, while himself toying with less or more Sissy amps ....... and we all know how easy for him is to devise new ones
in short - Wayne is working hard and good, while Pa is having all the fun

Thanks. Spectral transport & DAC complement the Pass Labs gear also soundwise. That was a lucky shot of course.Nice setup!
Haha, Wayne is doing all the hard work and Nelson gets the credits. It's a cruel world...I'm always stressing that Wayne is Full Nelson, while Nelson is ....... well - just Nelson
