Forgot to mention that Reno HiFi makes a market in demo and used
Pass gear (which include current production models). Considering such
could move you up the Pass Labs amplifier food chain to a very significant
degree while staying within your budget.
Demo usually means the gear has been unboxed and played for a month or two (you essentially get a pre burned-in amplifier), and these units come at a significant discount with the balance of the factory warranty. Some of the used pieces have been "refurbished" at the factory to make sure they are performing to "as new" specs and come with a 1 - year warranty.
Best of all, Mark will buy back anything he sells you towards future trade-ins. I've been a happy camper customer for over 15 years and have bought and sold my way through 4 Pass amps and 3 preamps with Mark while working up to my current system with XA point 8 monoblocks.
