Pass Labs
XP-22
Introduced 2018$9,975 MSRP
The Pass Labs XP-22 is a solid-state, two-chassis line preamplifier that succeeded the XP-20 in the Pass Labs lineup, borrowing volume-control and circuit refinements from the flagship Xs and XP-30 preamplifiers. It uses cascoded JFETs in Pass Labs' patented "Super-Symmetric" topology with output MOSFETs biased heavily into Class A for a low-noise, transparent presentation.
