How do you owners of the Pass Labs int 250 like them?
Thank you for the recommendation!! 
Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years
"[...Interesting the int 250 doesn't get much love here. The reviews are pretty darn good....]" Report I have noticed that. Although the reviews and forum comments have been highly enthusiastic, positive, and consistently so. Perhaps it's be... 
How do you owners of the Pass Labs int 250 like them?
Yeah, it's the Discrete version of the MSB that I'm purchasing. It's pricey enough. But I read that the Discrete has 80% of the performance of the more expensive models. I heard the Discrete through some gorgeous sounding amps (Gryphon D300, Luxma... 
Which stereo amp to try under $30k
Based on my audition of the Pass Labs int 60 and forum comments and reviews, I'd take a serious look at the Pass Labs int 250. The int 60 I auditioned was outstanding to my ears. I know it doesn't sound exactly like the int 60 but the int 250 seem... 
Pass Labs int 250 and int 60
The only experience I've had with Pass Labs gear was auditioning an int 60. And it sounded superb. I thought it sounded incredibly sweet, yet solid with just the right amount of warmth. I've read that the int 250 is very similar. More relaxed, yet... 
Luxman 590axii vs Pass Labs int 60
Scratchy? ;) 
Luxman 590axii vs Pass Labs int 60
Yes, I did. They sound fairly different to my ears, the int 60 sounding more class A-ish. It has a class A bias up to 30 watts. The 509x sounded a little more analytical and transparent and accurate. As you might expect, it was more class A/B soun... 
Luxman 590axii vs Pass Labs int 60
Eric, I did get to audition the int 60 but the only Luxman the dealer had was the 509x and not the 590axii. What are your thoughts on the int 60 vs 590axii? 
Which stereo amp to try under $30k
FWIW, I just completed an all day audition of seven different top flight integrated amps using the same exact speakers I own and at matched volume levels. The amps I auditioned included the Luxman 905x, Simaudio 340ix, Hegel H390, NAIM Supernait 3... 
Are Pass Labs amps good at low volume levels?
If you’re wanting class A sound up to 30 watts (approximately 120 watts class A/B), top notch sound and build quality, and a loudness switch for low volume listening, check out the Luxman 590axii. 
Pass INT 60 vs. Accuphase E-650 for music
I can only refer to my experience auditioning the int 60. I’ve not heard the Accuphase E650. I would agree 100% with your evaluation of the int 60. Outstanding amp. Beautiful sounding in every respect. I wasn’t going to audition it at all but thou... 
I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience !
divertiti. you are so right. At least I got to hear it through the same speakers that I own (Harbeth Super HL 5+ 40th Anniversary). 
Considering Gryphon Diablo 300 "OR" Simaudio 700iv2 ???
I’ve only auditioned the D300 and Simaudio 340ix integrated (not the 700i v2). Both sounded superb but the 340ix was a little weak in the bass frequencies compared to the D300. My ears preferred the D300 over all. But it’s a bit of an apples and o... 
I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience !
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, had the same experience. Anyway you cut it, the Gryphon D300 is just plain incredible in every aspect. I've tried not to like it because of the somewhat healthy price tag...to no avail. When I heard it I was... 
You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss
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.
