Curl or Pass


Am looking to upgrade my phono preamp.  Interested in the Pass Labs XP-15 and the Parasound JC3+.

Any opinions as to which is better?

Both about the same price used, about $2,300.

I have a Well Tempered Reference TT with a rebuilt Lyra Clavis, very low output MC.

I’ve never heard of Herron or Tom Evans.

Here's one I'm sure there are other, from what my vinyl customers tell me.

I usually can’t stand George’s posts, but he’s not wrong here. I use my Nelson Pass designed Adcom GFP-750 in passive mode every day with a 4v XLR output from my DAC and as the Mandalorian’s would say “This is the way”.


As for “Curl vs Pass”, I’m not touching that one. I have a Pass X5 that I love and I own multiple JC pieces it Parasound gear that I also love. 
  I’ve never heard of Herron or Tom Evans.  Where could I find some reviews of those?


Have you ever used a search engine?
