Tvad, I would still say Atma-sphere with the audiophile dictionary" definition. I can also see how in a sense Joule can be considered transparent, yet I would not say it is uncolored. I would also agree that the Pass XA.5 gear is very transparent in terms of being balanced across the spectrum and having a neutral timbre.
I agree with Tvad, Pass Labs XA100.5. I've had five Pass amps over the years starting with the Aleph 3. The new XA.5s are the most neutral and seem to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the rest of the system more than the earlier designs.
ive gotta know. How could u tell if a amp changed the sound if you cant do a a/b test with the live music or unless you have heard it uncoloured before. im learning so be easy on me. kevin
