Has anyone compared Ayre K-1x to Pass X-1

Hello,
I thought I’d throw in my .02 about my experiences with my Pass Labs X-1. I bought a refurbished (and spotless, a 9+ here at Audiogon) X-1 from Reno HiFi and could not be happier. It truly was (and still is) goose bump moments when I’m listening. My soundstage has exploded. The music is coming from behind my speakers, to the left, to the right, and in front of. I guess that’s what they mean when they say your “speakers disappear”. There is more “space” between the instruments. I can't honestly tell if it is "coloring" the sound at all. If it is, I sure can't pinpoint the effect.
My previous preamps were a Belles 21A and a Creek 5350R. The Belles was quite nice, but the Pass is definitely a big step up. The Belles did have a more “tubey” sound.(If I discuss why I didn’t like that “tubey” sound, a posting war will probably follow, ha!)
I’m sure my X-1 will be in my system for a long time and I’ll upgrade the other components once or even twice before I even consider upgrading the X-1.

Tgyeti, I just got a new-in-box X1 for a decent price. Haven't received it yet. What are your impressions of the high and low end extension, transient speed, and clarity of the music? I've heard the X2.2 and thought it was pretty darned good in these areas without giving away any musical realism.

Tonyptony,
I'm sorry but I'm not sure exactly how to answer your question as I'm not that well versed in audiophile terminology, ha! All high & low ends sound realistic and nothing jumps out at me as being out of place. I don't have a clue as to what "transient speed" is, sorry.
Rookie Audiophile. I just love music :-)

Annnnnddd back to the question:

mynquestion to the post: What type of sound do you want from your pre?

I love the way the X1 presents the music.  Imo, underrated preamp.
