XP 20 Owners Manual Rev 0.4 5
So that these very low-volume listening levels have real world practicality, the noise
floor and very fine detail retrieval of these new pre-amplifiers is dramatically superior to
our previous product.
Frequently, the perception of increased detail comes at the cost of equally increased
grain or edginess in the music. With this new pre-amplifier, hundreds of hours of
thoughtful listening and careful adjusting have produced a product where the enhanced
detail simply comes through as greater spatial refinement and dynamic accuracy;
without any loss of musicality.
Bass definition is better than in pervious models, highly dynamic passages typically
have more weight, a more accurate leading edge with increased control and the
spectral balance is more finely integrated top to bottom.
As good as the XP-10 is, the XP-20 performance metrics are enhanced over those
available in the XP-10 by virtue of a separate and additionally regulated power supply.
For the listener these circuit enhancements will convey musical bass with significantly
more impact, articulation and timber accuracy. With well-recorded material the XP-20
will present a more refined sound stage than the XP-10 with greater ability to accurately
delineate instruments in their proper spatial perspective of depth, width and height.
We sincerely believe these are simply the best sounding pre-amplifiers Pass
Laboratories has ever built! Simply put the XP products deliver the experience of a past
musical event in a more believable sonic panorama than anything we have previously
brought to market. Thank you for listening and giving us the opportunity to prove this
claim.
