Anyone heard the Pass x.2.5?

I've auditioned x-0, x-1(95% of the x0), x-2 (90% of the x-1). I've posed the question on other sites and have received it’s about the same as the x-2 just more features and inputs.

I’ve never heard a bad pass component.

Best of Luck.

With the introduction of the X0.2, the gap between it and the X-1 has become much greater.

Contact Perrotta consulting in NY and he is jsut getting the 2.5 in. He let me audition the Pass X-250 am for aroung 4 weeks which I eventually bought.

Alliedtvandsound-

Can u elaborate on your findings with the pass equipment? What were u comparing it to that had such a deep, layered soundstage which made the pass seem flat?

I own a Pass Labs X2.5 and I can honestly say that the sound is very neutral- the circuitry is the same as the more expensive X1 with only the difference in the seperate power supply for the X1. I have paired it with the PS Audio HCA-2 and it makes a very fine match-up. The sound is far from flat and delivers the music in a very convincing and realistic fashion. Similar to Jeff Rowland and not as clinical as Krell- really the best of both worlds. It has great resolution and detail. The depth is very good (not sure why the dealer above was disappointed)- I played Diana Krall's Live in Paris and the depth is very good- this is a very musical pre-amp but like all things you have to audition and let your ears decide.
