Pass X250.5 with XP-10 or Aesthetix Calypso ?


Just purchased a pass X250.5. Not sure if I should upgrade to a XP-10 or keep the Aesthetix Calypso. Not sure if I want ot stay with tubes with this amp.

I would like to here everybodys OPINION.

I own the X250.5 and the XP-10. I run the Aesthetix Rhea phono stage and it's superb with the Pass gear! Tubes + Aesthetix = solid winner in my system!
Russb,

You will not be disappointed with the XP-10. It is one of the most transparent pre's that I have ever owned. My only complaint is that you can regulate the volume max levels on each imput. I understand the maze of trying different tubes. It took me some time to come up with the proper blend in the Rhea. I'm sure you'll be extremely happy with the XP-10! Enjoy !!!
