Pass Aleph. Or new first watt aleph series, perhaps. If you read between the lines of Pass' web site, they indicate the aleph series was warmer sounding than the X series, which is the reason for introducing the .5 series. I've heard that the Aleph3 and the monoblocks were better than the 60 watt stereo version.
Warm and Detailed S.S. Amp?
I currently own a Modwright preamp and a Pass Labs X150 amp. I really enjoy these components but, I wish the Pass amp had more warmth in my system. What amps have the warmth of tubes but are as detailed and as controlled as this Pass amp. I can't afford the .5 series of Pass amps. I previously had a CJ MF-200 amp and PV-11 preamp in my system, which was much warmer, but not as clean and detailed. I'm looking to spend about $2K used. Thanks!
