Pathos TT need advice


Hello All.  Does anyone own or is familiar with the Pathos TT?

I have an opportunity to buy a 2024 lightly used one for about 1/2 price through a local dealer.  Problem is that they have a no return policy on used gear and they are not willing to hook it up for a listen.  It would be a leap of faith for me. Im in the market for an integrated tube amp and Pathos is on my short list.  The TT new is about 2k above my budget so it's very tempting to buy used. I'd be using it with my Paradigm Founders 120H's which are 95db sensitive with powered woofers. Any thoughts?

You guys are the best!!  Thanks.  

I thought it was a little ridiculous that they weren't willing to at least hook it up.  I may have taken it home with me.  They deal Borresen speakers that on paper should be harder to drive than mine.  So my thought was that if they handled the Borresen then mine should be no problem.  I could have gotten over them not letting me demo at home. Maybe they didn't want to hook it up to the Borresens? Either way dumb on their part.  Customers in this hobby can't be easy to come by.  Sell me a used amp at a low margin and chances are I'm buying some cables while I'm there. Treat me right and I'll be back. This is why I sit in traffic for well over an hour to go to a dealer that treats me well.  (Saturday Audio Exchange Chicago)   Unfortunately they don't deal in the integrated tube amps on my short list. 

Pathos sure are sexy though.  Thanks for talking sense to me. 

Cheers!
