| Why are there no Reviews of the Pass Labs XP-22. Is there anyone with strong feelings? Wait for it.... The June Edition of Stereophile is shipping. The XP-22 is on the cover and has been auditioned. It won't be on the web till later. | |

Very good equipment. There is nothing bad here. I came from mostly Reference level CJ TUBE equipment. | |
