you should try the xp-32.....it is better still.......kinda crazy with 3 boxes but it rivals the dartzeel preamplifier and that is highest praise imho.....I doubted the xp-32 could be as big as a jump as moving to the xp-22 but it is....the xp12 is a killer moderate budget preamp...the xp-22 is a killer luxury preamp........the xp-32 is world class.......cannot go wrong with any of the three.........I am sure the xs preamp is one of the top end of the world class.....this is my limit financially so wont be auditioning that to hear what I am missing......
I have only had the xp-32 for 2 weeks so probably not even completely broken in......listen with pass monoblocks and pass xp-27 and its thrilling
