Pass labs X600

The H20 website should be up sometime in the next week or so. I just picked up a pair of the H20 "Signature" Monoblocks last Friday. They have been burning in since. You should be able to click on my virtual system thread which has a link to the Apogee user forum which has much info as well as a few reviews. I was reading all of the buzz on these new amps and drove up to meet Henry in Virginia and listen to his monoblocks on the Scintilla's. After listening to about 1/3 of the "demo" cd's I brought in tow with my preamp, I verbally placed my order with Henry - opting to go with his "signature" upgrade to the monoblocks.

I will reserve judgement until the amps have a few hundred hours on them, however after hearing the "standard" monoblocks on the Scintilla's I began to understand why people were selling their Pass Labs X600's, VTL 450's, eAR, Bel Canto EvoII, etc. amps in favor of these amps.

H20 may not be a known "audiophile" brand at this time... I don't think it will take long for the word to hit the street.

Mezzrow, the website for H20 should be up in the next week or so. I will send you an email with Henry's phone number if you care to give him a call.

Armandito, if you are asking about the H20, you can click on my system link next to my moniker on this response. They are the monoblocks on the floor next to my speakers. I have one "closeup" that is a bit out of focus if you click on the amp link itself. If you want higher resolution pics, shoot me an email. They are very utilitarian and subtle in design. All sides are 3/8" aluminum, powder coated sides, back and rear in black. The anodized aluminum faceplate can be black or silver. I chose silver faceplates with blue LED. I think Henry has a few LED choices for those that want to match the rest of their gear. "H20" & "M250" are subtlely machined out of the faceplate in the bottom corners of the faceplate.

Actually, the link Rx8man posted are photos of the stereo prototype chassis. Henry is now powder coating the amp except for the faceplate. I am not certain if any internal changes have been made since the photos of that stereo amp.

I know my mono's are different internally, however besides monoblocks, they are also the Signature upgrade...

Armando - I think Muralman1 is saying "times are a changing" based on the fact he was once personally singing the praises of the X600's as he owned them... He now owns the H20 mono's. Not to speak for him, but if I remember reading his comparisons correctly the X600's don't hold a candle to the H20 mono's in his system. Muralman1 - please correct any inconsistencies my memory may have misreported.
