I think AudioFound summed this all up nicely. Sound interpretation varies from one set of ears to another. When you get to a certain level of quality it becomes a personal form of what you like and enjoy.
Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?
I have about 15k to spend on an amp/preamp/integrated amp.
I mostly listen to smooth jazz like Dave Koz, Rippingtons, Brian Culbertson etc.... and loud.
I have yet to hear any amp that comes close to Pass Labs.
Your experiences pls ?

cakyol: I am not seriously looking for a new amplifier. I have had our ML-333 since it was new in 1995 and have no plans to replace it. However, just for fun as a background task, I try to keep up on recent developments so that I have a plan in case the ML-333 fails beyond repair and needs to be replaced. |
One of the best solid state amps could be the new Rotel Michi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHWfEVn4--M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pNh-CyLR5U Get a Rotel Michi preamp and Michi amps with some B&W Nautilus Flagship speakers and be done for life ! Yes..the Nautilus is that good even today ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6zif_UGftc |

None better than Pass at it’s price point. SQ, craftsmanship, attention to detail, build quality, all top shelf components. The best customer service in the business. My ears have not heard anything that sounds "better" for the money. I’m sure there are certainly amps that sound as good, but "different". When you get into this price range it’s just a matter of preference and not so much what is "better". It's what your ears prefer. Speaking of ears, my ears also really like the Diablo D300. |
