30 years ago I made a purchase primarily based on measurements and it turned out to be something I was not happy with. Since that time only purchase based on how it sounds, but will look at specifications for component compatibility.
Pass XA200.8 Review - Fun measurements
Hello everyone.
Yet again, Stereophile has produced an interesting set of measurements:

Mind you, I'm as interested in why people like certain sounds as I am about absolute performance, if not moreso.
There are lots of Pass fans out there, or they could never afford to sell amps at $40k per pair. But take a look at the measurements. Plenty of distortion by-products.
Is it possible Pass has hit on a euphonic recipe his fans adore?
What do you fans and detractors think? Are we seeing the magic Pass recipe here?
