High praises from many reviewers: Positive Feedback: " I haven't collected enough lost change in the folds of my couch to purchase, so I have no choice but to send the XP-15 back to Pass with a sincere note of gratitude for the extended audition. The XP-15 Phono Preamp is an easy recommendation of the highest order. It has ear-wormed its way into my head, and it will be very hard to go back to status quo."
Designed by Pass Labs' engineer, Wayne Colburn, the XP-15 has all the operational goodies one would expect of a $3800 dollar phono preamp. It is a single chassis, solid-state, dual-mono, low noise design. The rear of the unit is the business end: There are two single-ended Inputs, one for Moving Magnet (MC), and one for Moving Coil cartridges (MC). (Moving Iron cartridges can be used as well.) There are both balanced and single-ended outputs. Flexibility is assured by the two 8 pole dip switches used to adjust each channel for cartridge type, gain, and loading. Resistive loading for Moving Magnet is fixed at 47ohms, with a gain of 46dB. MM Capacitance settings range from 100pF to 750pF.
There are three gain choices available for Moving Coil; 56dB, 66dB, and 76dB; as well as eight basic Resistive load settings, with a whopping 256 possible combinations ranging from 2 to 47K ohms. Capacitive loading may be added to further tweak frequency balance and dynamic response. The silk-screened switch selection guides next to the power cord connection are a nice touch. I used them several times by simply shifting the unit enough to read them with cheater glasses. Filling out the rear panel is a 120v IEC cord connection, fuse holder, and turntable ground connection. (Other unit input voltages are available from the factory.)
