The X0.2 is the
ultimate expression of our state of
the art preamplifier offerings, and
as such is a stunning example of
joining art, engineering, and
performance. The X0.2 is housed in
three separate machined chassis, for
enhanced performance through “true
dual-mono” operation. Two identical
chassis are devoted to the analog
stages, and the third chassis
isolates the power supply and the
digital control circuitry from the
two chassis containing the analog
signal path. These physical and
electrical separations further
contribute to noise reduction and
sonic excellence. A revision over
the critically acclaimed original X0
preamplifier, the X0.2 takes
significant strides in improvement
over its predecessor. Capacitance in
the completely revised power supply
has increased 10-fold, with updated,
customized interconnects
specifically designed for this
preamplifier. The remote trigger
feature for activating Pass Labs
power amplifiers, previously
unavailable on this model, is also
part of the X0.2’s many diverse
functions. Critical listeners praise
the X0.2 for its increased dynamic
contrast, imaging and layering. For
the discriminating audiophile
wishing a true reference
preamplifier, the X0.2 merits
serious consideration…
