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.

He's establishing himself early....

Anyway, I have the Pass XP-15 and use it with a tube preamp and amps.  They sound great, and the Pass does have a lot of flexibility with mm and mc cartridges.  That came in very handy when I switched from mm to mc when I upgraded my turntable.  Could not be happier with the Pass Labs XP-15, and could not be happier with the dealer-- Mark at Reno HiFi.  Great product and a true gentleman at Reno Hi-Fi.
