Parasound to Pass Upgrade


I’m considering “upgrading” from my Parasound JC-1s monos to the Pass Labs X260.8 mono blocks. Does anyone have any experience or opinions on the performance differences I would expect? Thanks very much.

Well I went from Parasound early on to Luxman and am now very happy.

The P7 is actually a pretty transparent bit of kit, maybe their best preamp ever below the JC lines.

I think Pass has a distinct sound that works better with some speakers than with others.  Under no circumstances would I consider it a blanket "better" than anything from Parasound, regardless of price.

Contrast the performance with your speakers with Ayre, Luxman and Mc at least before making a purchase.
