Anyone hear pass XP27 phono preamp

I am currently auditioning the xp-27 as potential upgrade to xp-17..

It certainly gives you more of everything and clearly better than the already very good xp17....the bass was already excellent and now its sublime....I think midrange improvement obvious too....cannot imagine finding better bass 

The harder question is it as good in midrange as other phono similarly priced.....oddly not many phono preamp with XLR output which my line stage prefers....

Hi,

The xp27 has only recently broken in but initial impressions is it takes a excellent system to another level but xp17 is easily enuf unless plan to mate it with other references quality gear....

if I had the xp12 line stage then I would stick with xp17 but since got xp22 now feel xp27 is same level and there is synergy there...

I think mark at renohifi would ship u both to try but agree xp17 is better value

How do you like the A-95 ...I had the A-90 and many records sounded amazing others were very mediocre....I find the lyra kleos and soundsmith hyperion more consistent ....the hyperion has both warmth transparency and bass....my favourite so far

A95 supposed to be closer to best of both worlds
