Erik Y U Gotta Hate!


Erik I don't understand why U Gotta HatePass Labs. I purchased a couple of 260.8 Monoblocks and have never been happier!
No tube BS   my system is far from perfect
But I have enjoyed it immensely with dare I say Pass Labs in it.
Happy Listening

@georgehifi  hey George we have agreed in the past about bi-polar trnasistors and the negative feedback.  My partner and I have our own product line out and we have been repairing audio components for some time now.  A lot of older products especially Counterpoint, Melos, CJ, etc.  We have our own stereo hybrid amp coming out soon.  We recently just added a little feedback which helps to make the amplifiers more stable with bias.  We also gained a little more umph in the bass area bu doing so.

So what does this have to do with this thread, well there are a few Audiogoners who recently have been coming up with thread after thread of to me just nonsense, seemingly to just get others to reply.  But overall they have little experience in how audio products work.  I find it hard to learn anything from them and especially knowing why things sound the way they do and how they work.  I also find reviews a waste of time because they seem limited to the same type of manufactured product.  Most do not know why something seemingly sounds better that anther.  Ass for Class D amps, I am willing to do comparisons to prove why they sound good but are really nothing that special so far to my ears.

Happy Listening.


WOW! Apparently I created a dung storm Anyway! On this cold chilly evening I'm enjoying my Pass Labs amplifiers without worrying about negative feedback or global feedback. No just listening and enjoying the music 
Isn't that what it's all about Agoners?
Happy Listening

Mark,

I also have 260.8's and I love them. They replaced a ML333, a ML23.5 and a Bedini 100/100 before them (still have them all in different systems and can plug and play anytime, but choose not to).

As I have for years tempered the ss sound with a tube pre I have vet to have any of them be a disappointed. Each step up in amps meant a step up in a tube pre. I current mix the Pass with a ARC 5se and it is as dynamic and as musical as I could want. My speakers are a not exactly main stream but they mate very well with the equipment I am running, which is very fortunate as I have no upgrade fever for speakers.

There might there be better out there, perhaps, but this hobby is for personal satisfaction only, what everyone else think does not even move the needle for me.

Enjoy what you have, until you don't...
