The latest Pass phono XP17 and XP27 is in HER for demo.  A friend already ordered the XP17 and I hope to be able to Tloan the 2 box XP27 soon. The XP17 replaced the XP15 and the XP27 replaced the XP25.

Finally bought the Pass XP22 Line and XP27 Phono combination.  It is now in the process of running in.

Nice!

 

Any plans to buy a third rack to allow all 4 chassis of xp22 and xp27 to sit on their own individual platforms?

Sadly I do not have additional space for another rack.  As you can see from the pixs, I have 2 X 4 Tiers and another 2 Tiers for the XA100.8 (on the left and not shown).  However, before i stacked the 4 units, I had written to Nelson Pass and Kent English and they advised me that a short distance is all I need between the power supply and the main unit and that the XP27 Phono is more sensitive to noise as compared to XP22.  That is why the 2 power supplies are stacked together while the other 2 main units are on another shelf.

As I write this, a few sets of SIT 3 are on the way to Singapore and all have already been reserved and sold.   I understand that another order has been placed and is still in production in Pass factory.  It will take a while before it reach Singapore.  With limited sets worldwide and even few available here, there might not be a chance to hear it on demo in the showroom but I believe quite a few forumers in this thread have already placed their order and the only chance is to invite yourself for a listening session.
