My passdiy amp sounds really nice, no idea about measurements but it sounds more tubey than my 300B tube amp. Warm and musical.
Pass XA200.8 Review - Fun measurements
Hello everyone.
Yet again, Stereophile has produced an interesting set of measurements:
https://www.stereophile.com/content/pass-laboratories-xa2008-monoblock-power-amplifier-measurements
Mind you, I'm as interested in why people like certain sounds as I am about absolute performance, if not moreso.
There are lots of Pass fans out there, or they could never afford to sell amps at $40k per pair. But take a look at the measurements. Plenty of distortion by-products.
Is it possible Pass has hit on a euphonic recipe his fans adore?
What do you fans and detractors think? Are we seeing the magic Pass recipe here?
