One of my AgoN friends said that he had a 331, tried a Plinius, liked it better, than tried a Pass amp and kept it of the three. Since I had a #331, I skipped the middle test and bought a Pass Labs Aleph 4 and found it immediately more detailed, open and natural compared to the #331. I listened to the Pass for a month, and then went back to the #331 to make sure I knew the difference, from both directions. I really prefer the Pass. Its not a compromise. There is nothing the #331 does better than the Pass. BTW: I agree with Phil and think the Kimber cables were good years ago, but there are so many better ones now. I really like Tara Labs cables (maybe a pair of Decades if you can find them), or Nordost or NBS (very expensive).
Levinson 331 or Pass X150 or Plinius SA-100 ??????
I need some help. Anyone A/B these amps against eachother??
My current system:
Meridian 500 Transport
Monarch 18B Dac/Preamp
Platinum Solos
Kimber 8tc/4tc
Cardas cross
I enjoy transparency the most, followed by a warm smooth/rich sound. Thanks for all suggestions!!
