Rawson Resale......

FWIW, his circuit boards have "Thank you, Mr. Nelson Pass" etched into them.
I was fortunate enough to have one of Tim's creations.

Thanks Tim and Nelson !!!!!!!!!

Holy cow!! How can anyone begin to downplay any of Mr. Rawson's work with the Pass gear. I have a pair of his Aleph 2 monoblocks that are really, really incredible. His work is first rate, safe ,reliable, has high value, and are incredibly musical to say the least. I built the chassis's and he magically put them together for me for peanuts. He's been a remarkable person to work with. I only wish more of us can have the experience that I've had. He's a very talented guy with loads of knowledge. I've had the A-2's in my system for more than 1 1/2 years and use them 5-10 hrs a week. One of the features is I no longer need heat in my house....not kidding either, try 135 deg. at idle. these mothers run HOT.
Thank you Tim for my wonderful Amps. I hope you continue your passion with building really great, affordable audio gear. You certainly have my support.

Your recall is as poor as the soldering on Rawson's work.

"In fact, if I am not mistaken, I think I recall reading Tim Rawson had NPs blessing."

Actually, diy'ers can thank Tim Rawson for reason number one that Mr Pass not releasing anymore firstwatt schematics.

Stealing IP is theft, no matter how he justifies it to himself.
