How does an amp not sound musical? I just don't understand that popular term. Dry? as opposed to wet, I suppose?
This is what I get from the Pass amps I have owned. An amp that gets out of the way of the music. The music is generated by the front end, not an amp. Sure, an amp can ruin the music, through distortion, and purposeful coloration.
Pass amplifies as purely as is conceivable. All the tiniest nuances are clearly transmitted through my reference grade speakers. I am spoiled.
I use a tube cdp. Each tube is laid bare for any defect, the Pass system is so good. Luckily, there are near perfect tubes available.
