Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp?

The expensive lesson here is, never read too much into a manufacturer's technological breakthrough bulls and fancy marketing crap.

Second, never fully believe what the reviewer says.

3rd,in audio, an equipment which measures well does not necessarily sound good. In fact, it could be a sign that something else is compromised which is why it measured so well.

There are not many preamp out there which can beat my humble aragon 28k.
Throughout my comparison, it stood well against ml326s, accuphasec2420, ayre5xemp, mbl5010, jeffrowland capri,

It completely trounced moon740p, musical fidelity , rogue audio.

Other makes not yet tried.

Pity it does not have balanced output, cannot fully bring out my amp's potential

Interesting read Rower30, thanks for sharing.
I found myself agreeing throughout because I have the XP-20 & you mention characteristics synonymous with the XP-20.

I hope I get to hear the XP-30 in my system!
