To the couple Eric lovers, you must be blind, just look at his history of starting anti Pass Labs threads.


George:

This is slander, as others have replied to you, my Pass threads were quite neutral and I took no position other than to ask questions and get specific insight. Your brown stained glasses are the only reason you see this.

Please also point out a single place where I’ve told some one their hearing was wrong. Your practice of telling those who like certain amplifiers or types of amplifiers that their hearing must be off, or that measurements matter more than personal taste is a profound lack of respect for others and no one should take you seriously after that.

Point me to a single post where I’ve told someone that buying Pass was a mistake, or that their products were inadequate in their manufacture or design. Those posts don’t exist. .


To others:
You are right, what I like or don’t doesn’t really matter. Don’t reply to what you aren’t interested in. What I am interested in is secret sauces and whether we can measure them. Because that is fun.

Pass said he’s adding distortion to his products. Stereophile just measured it. I think that’s cool to dissect. If you get all butt hurt over that I don’t know what to tell you.  Pass is one of the most successful audio product makers in history, if he says he's got a secret sauce and you think he's onto something you should be incredibly curious as to what it is and how it measures.

Best,

E

There are and always will be those who find pleasure reading Erik_squires. Its called masochism. Its a thing.
Hey @millercarbon :

You have been all pouty for weeks because I gave you free advice that you didn’t take and wasn’t a direct answer to your original post.  You just completely ignored a poster asking for help with an AVR and spewed your own biases.

No one on audiogon stalks me like you do, so you better pay me for the attention you are getting.

Best,

E

Sorry fact Eric, as many others have said before me, you must be immune to the comments or something if you think you are "quite neutral" to Nelson Pass.

You start threads and posts on Pass Labs amps and you cherry pick what "only you think" are the faults, to "try" to imply there is something inherently wrong with the Pass design.

He is one of the messiah’s of modern day audio, you have not even a minute piece of technical knowledge/info, that could counter what he has to offer the audio world.

Some say Nelson Pass must have shun you at a show once or something for you to have this kind of negativity against him and his amps.
  
I think maybe it’s his comments about your beloved Class-D amps that haunts you so much.
Nelson Pass (Threshold, Passlabs) on Class-D
"Does a $10 bottle of wine compete with a $100 bottle? Of course it does, and it often wins based on price. Right at the moment Class D designers seem to be still focusing on the objectively measured performance of their amplifiers. I expect that at some point the economics of the marketplace will encourage them to pay more attention to the subjective qualities, and then they will probably play a greater role in the high end."

What ever it is, leave Nelson Pass alone, stop starting negative threads on his designs and no one will jump on you then.
*phew*
Another tempest in a teacup forum.....rub some's fur the wrong way, and the static turns into a thunderstorm yielding a flood...

(A statement:  I have no particular opinion, pro or con, re Pass amps.  IMHO, they have no more appeal nor dislike than any other product; as usual, at least in my universe.  It's another Preference.  Just like Ford vs. Dodge, or anything else that has a competitor.)

Up to this moment....the response I see 'above' this post reminds me of the dung-storm (love that comment, btw...) that Muslims have re Any depictions of Mohammed and/or Allah....

"OMG! Sacrilege!  We must destroy the Infidel that Dares to inflict True Believers with this....this....this Hersey!"

Chill out...

It's not like the man broke into your house, dragged your beloved amp into the front yard, urinated on it, doused it with the collected dog dung and gasoline, and lit it.

I can see the 10PM news (or the SNL 'send-up') now...

"Fringe Audiophiles Go Ballistic; Tolerant Neighbors Go Bemused"

Great PR, y'all.....;)

Stand your ground, Eric. ^5's.
