Adding Pass xp32 highly recommended

Audio Systems

I was using Rossini apex, Pass X600.8 monos and Sonja2.2i in my study.
Always seeking for better sounds, I asked a lot about adding pre amp between dCS and Pass monoblocks. The replies were divided, and after all, I bought Pass xp32 from the strong dealer recommendation who happened to sell me Rossini apex and Pass 600.8 among others.
Fortunately, He could find the black xp32 matching my black X600.0 and black Sonja.

From the initial hearing the difference with xp32 was HUGE! Biggrer head room, widely spread stage…
Other than impedance matching, I came to believe there is magic in a good pre amp the audio system!!

I had a Bespoke audio between my pass and Rossini, would never changed. Had the opportunity to get a Nagra HD, there was a before, but there is no after. So for sure, a good preamp makes difference, and not small…
