With a separate power supply electrically isolating delicate analogue
signals in the preamplifier, this cosmetically-matched dual-chassis
reference line-stage preamplifier offers significant gains in detail retrieval
over the XP-10 without loss of musical soul. How does this translate into
the sonic fidelity you really care about? Instruments and voice are
presented in a more refined soundstage, and with better spectral balance.
Fine nuances and details, which frequently go un-noticed, now become
beautifully apparent -- even in loud and highly complex musical passages.
