Up for sale is the longest running piece of gear in my system that I have assembled and built myself. The unit is a Pass DIY XOno clone, which features upgraded resistors, capacitors, etc. no expense was spared, include milled rear panels, Cardas RCA connectors and wiring. Shielded cable was used on the outputs.
The resistors are PRP, Holco (when no PRP value could be found) and Roederstein (RIAA). The capacitors, which are the highly celebrated "Black Gates" (which are probably worth nearly half of the asking price) are:
(4) 470uF/6.3V NX (two on underside of the PCB, see pictures)
(2) 220uF/6.3V NX
(2) 4.7uF/50V NX
(6) 47uF/50V C
Rel-Cap RT, and Rel-Cap RTE polystyrene-and-foil are used in the RIAA section
The output caps (which can be bypased with a jumper and the whole thing can be adjusted to be DC coupled) are Mundorf ZN 4.7uF/100V with Roederstein MKP1837 bypasses.
The power supply uses dual Plitron toroids. There is an umbilical that connects the two boxes and is 44" tip to tip.
The cases have some scratches due to being stacked and moved over the past decade more than a few times. The ambrosia maple fronts are in great condition.
This thing sounds wonderful and there is plenty of gain with no noise. Selling due to system consolidation and the fact that I've upgraded to a XP-17. I'm hoping someone else can enjoy this as much as I have!
