You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss


So I'm genuinely curious about this, and I'd like your thoughts.

You: Are a current pass owner who has tried a number of other amps and stuck with Pass.

Please discuss your speakers, your pass and what other amps you feel your current set up bested.

I won't opine, but may ask questions to those who are not specific enough.
One thing I've heard a lot is the terms "refined." I don't know what this means, so if you can compare to other amps with more detail, would appreciate that.
Thanks!

I just returned from a trip to Suncoast Audio and I got to audition several high end amps. One of them was a Pass int 60. I wasn’t planning on auditioning the int 60 but I’m really glad I did. I (my ears) thought it was a superb sounding amp. I was very surprised at how good it sounded. It just wasn’t an amp that was ever on my radar. And I think that’s why it impressed me so much. After listening to just the amp itself we tried it with the MSB ADC 5 DAC/streamer. My, my, my! It sounded sublime. So sweet and smooth. Needless to say I was very taken by the int 60. An underrated amp to say the least, IMHO..
Don't know about the other models in their line up but I've auditioned a Pass int 60 and I thought it was superb in every aspect. Then we hooked an MSB ADC V DAC to it. Purt neer had an organism.
