The XP-17 uses
the new-shielded low noise toroidal
and input filter module, like the
XP-12. The power supply has an extra
stage of RC filtering, allowing for
lower radiated and mechanical noise.
The XP-17 has an all new input
circuit that is symmetrical and
lower in noise and distortion, with
greater drive capability. Noise
being the most prominent part of THD+N
in the first section of a phono
stage; by lowering noise we get
better resolution and dynamics. It
was designed with a split EQ network,
like the XP-25 and XI 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, plus three gain settings
to accommodate low output MC to MM
cartridges.
