You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss

I've got a pass integrated amp int-60 I got a p 9 turntable with a condenza bronze ortfon cartridge and my speakers are emerald physics 2.4 and I've never been happier with that Arrangement ever and I'm never going to change it

I also own the pass xp-27 phono preamp

With George on this one. He did not say / post that. Too bad the post was deleted since it can’t be copied.

Looks like admin found nothing wrong with the post also, and they have restored the post.

Cheers George

Eric is asking someone, why they do not like the sound of Pass amps, but, refuses to answer my same question to him, as I was the 1st poster to his thread. George, I am with you !

I’ve only owned three different sets of amps: McIntosh MC452, PS Audio BHK300 mono’s and a set of PL 60.5’s.  I’ve ran a McIntosh C2500, C50, PS Audio BHK Pre and a PL XP-22.  Every time I swapped something out, it was in the pursuit of something “more.”  The MC452, I sold because though it sounded fine at moderate volumes, if I got on it, you could hear it break up/taper off at the higher volumes.  I moved to the BHK mono’s which I felt sounded damn fine and had power for hours.  We recently moved and I was no longer going to have a nice big dedicated space, so I downsized to a set of PL 60.5’s and Harbeth Super HL5+’s.  I’m sure there are other systems out there that sound better, but to me, it sounds very relaxed and organic.  A guitar sounds like a guitar, I’m able to hear the decay on some recordings last a bit longer, drum tom’s have a little more ring to them...overall, it just sounds right to my ears.
