Does a VINTAGE Spectral DMC-30 SL compare with a Pass XP30 preamp?

Описание: Today the Audiophiliac takes on a vintage Spectral DMC-30SL preamp, it's about 18 years old, and compares it with a Pass Labs XP30 preamp. Let the good times roll.


Link to Spectral's current DMC-30, http://www.spectralaudio.com/


I used a Pass Labs XP30 for this review, the current model is the similar XP32 https://www.passlabs.com/products/xp-32/


Thanks go out to High-End Audio Auctions for the loan of the DMC-30SL, https://www.highendaudioauctions.com/...
