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!

Why is it ridiculous any more than the post asking what owners of Magnepans like and dislike about the speakers? He asks a legitimate question and from what I have seen, he has said Pass never has spoken to him, not that he hates them. If people don’t want to respond, they are free not to. I know a lot of people like Wilsons. They are nice speakers, but I can’t stand the way they sound.
Maybe not their cup of tea, but to say what you have, is well, you know


I'm sorry, what is your specific objection to anything I've posted?

Hi Mr Decibel,

I don't think anyone needs to justify anything, at all. Ever. In fact if you read my posts and how I talk to people whose tastes vary from mine, I always encourage others to buy what they prefer, ignoring me, ignoring the reviews and (if they can) ignoring the price tags.


The main reason I thought about this post that I hear a lot of Pass fans talking about Pass vs. Pass, but not Pass vs. other systems.


I'd like to understand what their systems are like, and what they compared them to before deciding.


I have no intention of disproving Pass fans from their preferences, even if I don't share them.

Best,

Erik
Erik, please do not take offense. Knowing you do not " favor " amplifiers designed by Pass , why do you, instead, give reasons of your dissatisfaction for them, as you have stated over and over again in your posts. How many different models have you heard ? What were the complete systems they were in ? What is it, that you are not fond of ? I feel this post is ridiculous, and anyone who will take the time to answer you, is wasting their time. No one needs to justify to you why they like Pass amplifiers. Nelson and his teams have always designed musical amplifiers. I do not know anyone, other than you, who does not like at least one or two Pass designs. Maybe not their cup of tea, but to say what you have, is well, you know....Enjoy ! MrD.
