Pass Labs X0.2 Reference Preamplifier - Super-Symmetric Design

Arguably better than an XP-32!

The Pass Labs X0.2 is a true reference-grade line preamplifier and the flagship control center of the legendary X-Series. Designed by Nelson Pass at the height of Pass Labs’ engineering ambitions, the X0.2 represents a no-compromise approach to signal purity, dynamic realism, and absolute transparency.

At its core is Pass Labs’ patented X-Series Super-Symmetric topology - a fully balanced, dual-differential circuit that cancels distortion and noise intrinsically, rather than relying on heavy feedback. This architecture results in extraordinary linearity, vanishingly low noise, and a natural, effortless presentation that preserves harmonic richness and spatial integrity.

The X0.2 is a true dual-mono design from input to output, with independent power supplies, transformers, and regulation for each channel, spread across 3 separate boxes. This extreme channel isolation delivers an expansive, holographic soundstage with pinpoint imaging and exceptional depth, allowing recordings to unfold with lifelike scale and precision.

The volume control is implemented with precision resistor networks for perfect channel tracking and long-term reliability. When paired with Pass Labs X-Series amplifiers; such as the X1000 monoblocks; the X0.2 forms a world-class front end capable of driving virtually any system to its full potential.

This unit is in excellent cosmetic and working condition, fully tested and confirmed to be in perfect health. Previously paired with Pass Labs X1000 monoblocks (also for sale please contact us), this preamplifier has been part of a carefully curated, no-expense-spared reference system.

*Extremely rare worldwide and unseen on the New Zealand market.
