The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre?
To the OP.....How do amps with even ordered harmonics sound to your ears? They sound pretty darn good to my ears. Especially Pass. The int 60 sounds so good to my ears I can hardly contain myself listening to it. Couple it with an MSB ADC V DAC...... 
You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss
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 wa...

Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh?
I think much of this discussion assumes there is a specific "Mac sound". Since I've listened to only one Mac amp in my life I don't honestly know. But I'd guess if you lined up 10 different models of Mac amps you'd get 10 different sounding amps. ...

Interesting the int 250 doesn't get much love here. The reviews are pretty darn good. 
Long Shot...Simaudio 700i v2 vs Gryphon Diablo 120
Like I said, it's a long shot. But I'd appreciate any opinions on these amps. 
Which stereo amp to try under $30k
I'll add to my list Simaudio/Moon 700i v2 and the 900 series Luxman separates.

Schiit Freya + Aegir vs Rega Elex-R
All I've ever heard about Schitt gear is how it is major bang for the buck and that it punches way above it's weight. Must be something to it. 
Bryston, McCormack, SimAudio or Plinius?
I don't have any first hand knowledge of them but I've heard that Simaudio is really good stuff. I'm looking at the Simaudio Moon 700i v2 for the amp in my new system. 
Is integrated the future for 2 channel audiophiles?
It is with me. I'm currently looking at several brands of integrated amps to go with my Harbeth speakers. I could look at separates but in many cases you'll be spending more money on an amp/preamp and additional cables. The separates may or may no... 
This new McIntosh integrated looks like a winner
Wow, not much love for Mac here. I'm a relative newcomer to home audio...since the late '70s anyway. I remember Mac back then was considered among the elite. Since I've been out of home audio for 40+ years I'm trying to get up to speed regarding a... 
Luxman L590AXii vs Accuphase E-650 for a Shindo lover
Isn't comparing the Luxman 590axii to the Accuphase line kind of an apples and oranges comparison. The 590axii is a true class A amp. Isn't the Accuphase line class A/B? Major difference. IMHO, the Luxman 509x (being class A/B) would be a much mor...
