XP-27
The Pass Labs XP-27 is a two-chassis, solid-state phono preamplifier — a separate outboard power supply feeds the main chassis housing the analog gain circuitry, input switching, and loading network — designed to partner with the XP-22 line stage in Pass's XP series. It offers two independently switchable phono inputs, each with extensive front-panel-selectable resistive and capacitive loading, letting owners run two turntables or two tonearms simultaneously.
