I've owned a Pass Labs XOno for nearly 19-years and it still sounds absolutely fantastic. Two of my audio buddies fell in love with it when they came over for a listening session. I let one of them borrow it to see how it sounded in his own system. Both of them thought so highly of the sound that they each bought XP-17's, which is the current replacement for my original XOno. They're both quite happy with their choice. In fact, one of them liked it so much he decided to upgrade to the Pass Labs XP-27, which has front-panel controls for gain and loading in addition to connections for two turntables. It's much more expensive and probably doesn't sound significantly better than the XP-17.

Good luck!
