The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre?

There are other detailed Pass and Ayre comparisons out here.
Here is one where I added my 2 cents:
https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/passlabs-350-8-versus-ayre-mxr-twenty
I think if you actually heard both, it's not difficult to tell the difference. It's all taste and preference driven as to which one you end up liking.

Clearly trolling for anti Pass comments...over and over again.

So, Audiogon removed the posts where I called those calling me a troll trolls. I’m not sure what the standard is.

I stand by the removed posts. This was a perfectly good thread until posters started criticizing me.

I challenge anyone to see where I’ve encouraged others to post anti-pass posts here or anywhere else. In fact my standard has been consistent: Please make specific comments others can relate to, regardless of whether you ended up with a pass or not.

If you get all bent out of shape because I like to talk about relative differences in amps with specifics, the problem is with you, not me.


If you believe the Pass brand and sales are so delicate a few discussions that aren't 1000% pro Pass will affect them, you clearly don't believe very much in the strength of the brand. Same for Ayre. If anything, there's' been 1 recent post where a specific comparison was made and the user preferred Pass to Ayre.

Thanks so much for posting that, @mikey8811 

Does anyone have experience with Wilsons and either of these amps??
