Pass Labs XP-17 Phono Preamp

XP17 uses the new-shielded low noise toroid and input filter module, like the XP-12. The power supply has an extra stage of RC filtering.  We have lower radiated and mechanical noise. The XP17 has an all-new input circuit that is symmetrical and lower in noise and distortion with greater drive capability. Noise is the most prominent part of THD+N in the first section of a phono stage. By lowering noise we get better resolution and dynamics. Designed with a split EQ network like the XP 25 and XS Phono that is more accurate and can handle greater signal levels. The secondary stage runs a higher bias output stage with auto bias. The numerous loading options from the XP-15 are all still available and three gain settings to accommodate low output MC to MM cartridges.   Power Consumption 35 Watts Gain 76, 66, 56 dB Balanced; 70, 60, 50 dB Unbalanced  Output Impedance 110 Ohms RCA; 220 Ohms Balanced Input Impedance 10 - 47k Ohms more than 200 values Capacitive Loading 100 - 750 pF
