Pass Labs XP 10 – Preamp , con la sua livrea satinata argento e la sua grossa manopola, si presenta con un’estetica raffinata ed essenziale. Il pannello posteriore, molto razionale, ospita ingressi e uscite sia bilanciate che sbilanciate. Nonostante sia il più piccolo della serie, questo XP condivide con i fratelli maggiori l’impostazione sonora tipica del gruppo. Il grande equilibrio contraddistingue tutta la famiglie, compreso XP 10.
Le sonorità proposte da questo oggetto, hanno radici lontane , con un progressivo aggiornamento attraverso i nuovi modelli, ma a procedendo a piccoli step (vedi serie Aleph caratterizzata dall’equilibrio armonico su tutta la gamma, e senza enfatizzazioni del carattere sonico). Acquistato in linea con il prezzo di mercato, rappresenta un investimento ed un oggetto destinato a rimanere a lungo sull’impianto domestico.

The XP series of preamplifiers are the latest generation of line stages which supersede the phenomenally successful and critically-acclaimed “X” Series preamplifiers….

Review By Anthony Nicosia
Pass Laboratories Inc. was founded in 1991 by Nelson Pass who seven years later in 1998 stepped down as President in order to devote greater time towards the development of products. Through my conversations with Desmond Harrington, now the company’s President, I learned that Nelson Pass designs the amplifiers and electronic crossovers while Wayne Colburn (who joined the company in 1994) is responsible for the preamplifiers, phono stages and DACs.
They currently work together on loudspeaker design and truth be told they seem to always wind up collaborating on everything, with lots of great ………..
