Luxman M-600A

Audiofeil, can you elaborate on the differences between the M600A and the 30.5? Thank you

On a very revealing speaker.
The differences are more apparent.
The Luxman sounds more organic than the Pass, the Pass has a warm sound as well but at the expense of a distinct sonic character.

Again, Luxman does not use off the shelf Plitron transformers. They use an in house hand wound transformer which is actually bolted to the mains using a pure copper bus bar.

I would interpret 'no sonic character' as a good thing..

Differences are differences; it doesn't mean "miles better in every sonic character" as you stated. So you are wrong here.

In your opinion. You're only one inexperienced listener.

Another difference that does not necessarily make it better.

You really need to bone up on some listening and stop typing.

OK Audiofeil...how does 31 years of experience sound.

I'm the very proud owner of a Luxman M-05...for the third time. I keep returning to this amp. I recently had a Luxman M800a in my home to try out with my Harbeth M40's, loved the amp, it's sonic signature is near identical to my 26 year old M-05.

I have had the opportunity to have a number of Pass amps in my home over the years...the XA amps are nice, but Luxman they are not.

In the land of Class 'A' design Luxman has the upper hand, they have had the upper hand for what seems like forever...and don't even get me started on tubes.

Rick.
