Can Mr. Pass or someone from the company weigh in on the improvements we'll hear from the two new preamps being introduced this spring? I own the X0.2 and love it, but would hope the new preamps exceed it.
Mr. Pass, go ahead and boast a little. Pride in a new offspring is never immodest and is, in fact, expected.

Let's sort that in October, if he doesn't give in to the peer pressure prior to that 😀

Ok, since I am such a generous guy I am willing to help out here. Papa-just send me one of the new preamps, and after completing an extended review session (app. 2 years), I will tell everyone how great it sounds.
No need to thank me, that's just the type of guy I am.

naah - that's just plain impossible ;
it's already common knowledge that Papa always send his new preamp TO ME , for extensive evaluation and testing .
dunno - am I so worthy guy , or is it fact that Serbian environment is so good for extensive testing ..........

knowing that Papa have few years more than famous Alex , in a moment when he rise a sword (on) to famous Gordy's creation........ is just telling me that he (Papa) must have even less doubts (regarding choices) than Alex himself ...........
ha , what a Engrish sentence ....from me ..........

Yes, I already know it.
Servia is probably the safe area less prone to copycats . . .
More correctly because Zen Mod is best lightening up for the forum 🙂
Nelson hi, you said a while back in my Lightspeed Attenuator thread to a poster.
"You will need a buffer. If you can't come up with one, I do have
a nice 100K input JFET circuit scheduled for publication early this
year."
Any news on when you may have this one done?
Cheers George

My post seems to be the victim of hijackers.

You gotta hear it youself, it is beyond wordy explanation. 😀

P.s. Choky gotta test it first, then he'll tell you, because Papa is too modest and he won't tell it here
Just kidding. Of course everyone is impatiently waiting for new preamps/buffers/ equalizers...or even breadcrumbs....

Yes, in fact it will be the next thing out the door. The input
impedance is arbitrary - you can have 500K if you like.
I use the X2.5 with the X350 and they work well together.I might try and demo the XP?
The X2.5 is so competent though there would have to be significnt gains for an upgrade,mabe a pair of X1000's would be a better upgrade.😎

It would be intersting to know, from a technical point of view, what are the major differences between the new and the old pre-amp.
What's the main philosophy behind their design? For example, Spectral in their new series of pre-amp eliminated the external power chassis and the possibility to add the phono, too. Is this the case of the XP10, too? Why, on the other hand, the XP20 maintain the external power supply (if it is a power supply at all)?
A few things on the new XP 10.
Starting with the power supply it uses a nice new low noise transformer, High speed diodes discrete regulators and new types of capacitors.
The gain circuit module is updated with new parts and a new configuration. Neutrik, Cardas and all that good stuff.
Everybody worked hard to make it sound great, long listening sessions and fine wines.
Nelson took one home this weekend to try out on the TAD RS1 speakers.
