XP-17

Introduced 2017$4,300 MSRP

The Pass Labs XP-17 is a single-chassis, fully balanced solid-state phono preamplifier that builds on and updates the earlier XP-15, aimed at listeners who want serious phono performance without a multi-box system. It offers flexible gain and an extensive DIP-switch loading network to match moving-magnet, moving-coil, and moving-iron cartridges, and shares its split EQ network architecture with Pass Labs' higher-end XP-25 and XS phono stages.
