For Sale : Pass Labs XP-20 Pre Amplifier and Power Supply

[MikeMusic]

Pass Labs XP-20
A superb Pre Amp with separate power supply.
Either RCA input and output or fully balanced XLR for even better sound quality.
I bought in late August 2013, a massive upgrade from a Naim 82 and used up until recently on a Mana rack. Original boxes. Mint condition.
Happy to show in North West Surrey

Current new price around £8000
£4900 including overnight delivery in UK. Delivery around the world for a good price with a courier I have used for many years for work and hifi.

Supplied with original boxes, manual and remote

Known as the most transparent, quiet, dynamic preamp around. Fully balanced, not just XLR cables with conventional internals. Superb bass.
Nelson Pass has a reputation for the very best in Amplifier design and it delivers that sound perfectly.

Ideally suited to the Pass and also available are Kimber or MCRU mains cables, Yannis balanced interconnects, RDC support cones, even a Mana rack.

That is nice, heard some of the early Aleph stuff and so can only imagine what this can do. GLWTS

[MikeMusic]

It is superb.
I was reminded today that I could have upgraded the connecting cable and heard just as much an improvement as the Belles gave me, possibly more....
Should have tried it

Hi

Lovely amp :)
But You state MINT condition. I would not agree with You. On pictures are celar shown pletny of marks...
You should change Your description to be fair to potential buyer.

No offence:)
Regards

[MikeMusic]

It is mint

Not a good picture taker me
Cheap camera on flash which I learned was a bad thing after these

Will take better pics.

Price reduced to £3990. A serious bargain for a Pre of this quality.
There is a small scratch on the top left corner of the Pre

I have the XP 10 and no money otherwise …

Nough said

[MikeMusic]

Thanks
Nice step up from an XP-10

[Bksabath]

They had the XP12 in the Pureaudioproject room at the North west audio show and XA 20 ? combo

WTF that go up to 100 ( gain more or less the same only different numbers on the display / volume ladder)
:D sounded so gooooooood
IMO mad to sell the 20
what you replacing it whit?

I certainly hope no one will buy yours my credit cards are all maxed up at present :lol:

[MikeMusic]

The Belles VT-01 just nudged the XP-20 on sound quality. Matching the Pre to the Belles Monos I have seemed a good idea at the time.
Would have stayed with the Pass had I known how far I would have to drop the price .....
Bargain for someone just waiting to deliver.........

[MikeMusic]

Bump

[MikeMusic]

Price reduced to £3590

[Bksabath]

I am really surprised it is still there
I paid £2500 for my XP-10 and it was a pretty good deal

I have other upgrades on the agenda otherwise …

[MikeMusic]

Me too.

I was advised it would easily sell for over £4500.
Nelson Pass designs are always top and this is a classic.

The Pass importer seems quiet so Pass not selling so well in the UK and therefore not so well known in hifi circles.
This makes it a stealth bargain
:)

[Bksabath]

If you can not keep it there for say another 6 months or so maybe try a different forum for the £4500 which is more than fair

to be honest if you find a buyer before that I will send him same hate mail :D

[MikeMusic]

I really hope to sell it soon, let alone 6 months !

Then there's all the other stuff I need to sell
:)

Pass seems one of the most popular products that are frequently mentioned. Would Tony give you a good deal perhaps as you have a lot of his stuff?

Yes Pass is a well known cult :)
Will mention to Tony when I speak next, quite soon

[hifinutt]

Excellent , I hope he can help as this brilliant pre needs a new home

[Barry]

Images are not working, so maybe that's why there is little interest - people will think that it has been sold.

[MikeMusic]

Hi Barry
Thanks.
Is there a way I can edit or could the better photos Jules took for me in #14 be dropped into the original post please ?

[struth]
