Pass Labs Point 8 Series info

I'm with Unsound that it's hard to call $85k a bargain. That said, Nelson Pass is also perfectly happy to help you own his amplifiers at the cost of parts. You just have to make them yourself... and he'll literally help give you advice while you do so.

Granted, the newest designs aren't shared, but still, I'm very happy to own a product from a company with this type of value system.

I agree. Pass Labs is a solid choice regardless of the prices. You get what you pay for in most instances.

I think the whole-supply/demand simple economic analysis does not really apply here. This is a luxury market where other factors drive pricing. This probably applies more to the XA 200.8 than the XA30.8.

Perceived value, perhaps?
