Can you share your older Pass Labs experiences?

Can you share your older Pass Labs experiences?

Earlier Threshold that Pass designed were the best for me, as they were Bi-Polar output stages (not mosfet) and had far better current delivery. Plus you didn’t get what some describe as the "Mosfet Mist" sound.

Here’s one of his ground breaking Threshold monoblocks

And the classic affordable favorite Threshold 400A

And then even earlier was the best sounding but low power True Class-A 40w which I later expanded to a huge 150watter and used a self contained water cooling system in it. (it was still a two man lift)

Here are some diyer’s pics that built the A40 as it is

Thank you all for your thoughts and input.  I have been on AudiogoN since the beginning and have had great success with sales, purchases and conversations with users.  I did have one very bad experience that became a stalker and I then had to drop my account and start over with a new I.D.  c'est la vie.

....but if you like a bit warmer presentation, then a warmer preamp than the Pass may be what you want… maybe an Audio Research, Collier Jackson, or VAC.

collier-jackson? don’t they make a great petit syrah? 🍷🍷 😄😄

at one time Ojai made good Syrah and I believe a Petit Syrah....but the Rhone/French makers do a great job as well.  

@jusam  if you would rather use your older account, send me an email to support@audiogon.com, Attention: Tammy and I'll help you out with that.
