- Full Review Here : Pass Labs X2.5 Pre Amplifier
The X2.5 is an ultra high quality linestage audio preamplifier featuring remote control and internal power supply.
It combines a completely new circuit topology with traditional construction representing thirty five years of preamplifier design.
This preamplifier flows from a commitment to create the best sounding product: a simple circuit with the most natural sonic characteristics. Derived from US Patent # 5,376,899, the X2.5 integrates power MOSFET and JFET devices in a simple Class A topology in order to deliver the finest sound possible.
The Super-Symmetric gain circuitry is unique in providing superior flexibility and performance with both balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs, converting one to the other as desired without extra circuitry and without performance degradation.
The X2.5 minimizes the number of components in the signal path, and yet retains exemplary objective performance specifications. It pushes the edge of the art in exploring how much subjective quality is obtainable with a new but very elementary gain stage.
The X2.5 employs a patented new type of volume control that offers significantly better performance than seen before in an electronic control. It provides over 60 dB of range, large voltage swing and very good measured performance.
The distortion and noise is at 1/10 and the dynamic range 100 times the previous state of the art in active attenuation. Most importantly it is subjectively outstanding; better than any potentiometer we have evaluated.
The fluorescent display is a very special device. Not only will you find its blue color highly attractive and readable, it is far more reliable than the usual LED or LCD display. Very few people are involved in the production of this product.
I supervise all phases of the construction, and I test each preamplifier myself. If you have questions, comments, or problems, please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you for purchasing this preamplifier. It is my sincere hope that you will enjoy its sound as much as I do.
