Pioneer M-22 or Pass Aleph 3?

Leo,

Try a Pioneer M-25 if you want to experiment (just don't sell that M-22 to do it). The M-25 has more punch and edge definition a-n-d gobs of power, less magic but that's ok. And shhhhhhh, about the M-05, one of the world's greatest amplifiers. I'll leave that to a Stereophile article.

Hi Peter,
If you had your choice between an M-05 and a KSA 100, which would you choose?
Leo

M-05

But both are great amplifiers.

Peter

Thanks !

As to the Aleph 3 being a classic, I think if I'm not mistaken that Stereophile said this amp was so revolutionary for its day that they would have to reshuffle the whole A-rated Amplifier section of their rating system as this was so good it disturbed all previous ratings given to amps at over 10X the price.

(And Nelson typically only had one very small ad and I don't think it even ran in every issue, so don't give me any nonsense about its all about the ads! It might be some of the time, but this time it was about the amp :) .)
