Pass Labs Point 8 Series info

Yes, I can visualize that too. We'll see what happens...it's gonna be an interesting year. Higher in Europe and the Far East for *US* made equipment like Pass Labs. We pay much higher on imports from Europe and Japan.

In a conversation with Pass service a year ago they said 90% of their sales were outside the USA!

I do not see used Pass Labs XA.5 point 5's dropping very low.

There is a big demand for used XA.5's, not so much for X.5's.

They are already a relative good bargain used, now, IMO.

The X1 and XOno used prices have not changed in the last several years, and are now scarce.

People sell what they don't like, and keep what they like.

I am a sceptic of NOS transistors!

There is a fixed supply. Pass can only make so many amps.

What if they sell many more then expected?

Will they have a big enough pool to get very, very closely matched transistors?

Will there be enough for future repairs?

Good points there. They'll have to turn to something else once they run out...unless they can find some more NOS transistors...

Larger heat sinks implies more heat in the listening room. No? With the X600 I regularly listen in my underwear with the AC set in the antarctic regions during the summer.
