I am working in this world for over 16 years of time. I have
sold both. I have tested both and auditioned many as well. I
love a physical 3 dimensional stage with a small intimate
individual focus of instruments and voices. But.....the overall
sound is the msot important part of audio in general. I want and
love the full pallet of colours in the mid freq. as in real.
Pass Labs amps have the advantages of solid state, but the sound
of tubes. This is in my personal taste the best balance. When
you want an even more tube sound add a tube pre amp. I would
never choose for a tube power and pre amp. When you are aware of
the speed, dynamics and timing of a Pass Labs poweramp you
cannot go back. Because this part is essential for the absolute
sound in my personal opinion!
