Pass Aleph 3 vs Classe dr3


Anyone have any comments on the sound of these two Class A amps, the currently sell for about the same money in the used market although the Classe is about 10 years older

I don't know much about it but a friend of mine had an early Classe, can't remember if it was the dr-3 or not but it was definately low power (like 25Wpc). He loved it but said that it ran really hot which would mean that the circuits will age rather quickly. I think Pass also says this about the Aleph 3. The dr-3 isn't new and if it was used a lot, it may need some caps replaced and perhaps more. Hard to say.

The only straight answer you will get is if you buy one and try it yourself. Experimenting should be a large part of the fun. Good luck! Arthur
