Other Notes: "Absolute performance is important, but I suspect that most audiophiles don't buy only on that basis—or on specifications, although they may factor those in. Nor do they base their purchase decisions on feature sets or warranties—although features are important, and a good warranty is a source of reassurance. Reviews like this one surely factor in to high-end consumers' buying decisions—I hope they do—but I'm thinking that reviews, while significant, are rarely decisive. I think most of us choose what we buy based on the entire experience—on how a component makes us feel. That feeling comes from how the music sounds, but also from a lot of other things. It's highly individual. We buy a product when it checks our emotional boxes. We buy when we fall in love.

In concert with the rest of my system, Pass Laboratories' XP-22 sounded great: full-bodied, rich-toned, robust, resolving, spacious, essentially neutral. But it was the whole experience of using the XP-22—its rugged, understated look; the subtle texture of its faceplate; the feel of the volume knob's action—that won me over. It just clicked for me, in a way that's entirely reasonable and yet transcends reason." - Jim Austin, Stereophile
