Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?

I owned a Pass Labs X350.5 amp and preamp for years. One day I tried tube mono blocks and ended up selling the Pass Equipment.

I would say that Pass Lab's products are certainly up there with the best of the best. There will be an infinity of opinions regarding what is "the best". There are currently just so many top shelf products out there. I just auditioned seven of the best integrated amps in their price range and I would be extremely happy to own any of those seven amps. They ALL sounded different but amazing in their own way. The Pass Labs int 60 was one of those amps and, IMHO, it sounded absolutely incredible. So did the other amps. But the int 60 was one of my top two picks after a full day of auditions.

How anyone can say a certain Pass amp or any amp in general sounds thin without discussing speakers, preamps, sources or cables has no credibility.

OP: your original question is silly at best i’m sorry to say. simply too many great choices to nominate one as best. have you heard Dartzeel, JRDG, Luxman, Vitus, Agostino, ML, Krell and on and on. That’s the fun of it; so many great options. When you throw “used” in the mix the door opens very wide.
