Experience with the Pass Labs XP-15 phono stage?

I'm thinking of replacing my ARC PH7 with the Pass Labs XP-15, to give me more flexibility to use low gain MCs.

Anyone made the switch to this phono stage?

Thanks for your help!

And I also got mine from Mark at Reno HiFi. It was a superb transaction. The XP-15 was a tremendous upgrade from my Xono. Tone and timbre both improved quite significantly. I couldn't be more pleased.

That you would report that it emphasized the treble over the midrange suggests this may not have been dialed in. My XP-15 was never ever bright. Which cartridge do you have?
