Pass X 150 and X150.5 differences please.
Hello everyone,
I am looking for anyones experiences of sound improvement of the latest- 2 years and newer x 150.5s.
I own an old x 150 who was a Pass employee's personal unit and wonder if I should sell it and buy the latest. This is what I know; the very first 150.5 versions differed by the meter only. A year down later they revamped the amp completely- new output devices and more, bigger, quieter power supplies, resulting in 10db noise reduction, etc.
Bottom line; numbers don't always speak in high end- is it a better sounding amp and if so what should I expect?
Thank you very much for your advise. I've been out of the big Pass game for a while, just kept the 150.
My x600- x350- x1- x0.2 were all sold. I've kept the 150 for audiophile parties- loud rock- and studio work.
