| Problem with BAT VK 3000SE I would take the top off and swap the two tubes. gnanasekhar OP This would be a good easy first starting point.And for you info it's ok here because it's solid state output, but never run a tube poweramp without speakers connected, there's ... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss I just recently purchased a pass labs int-60 I love it works great everything but be warned they do not work well with ohm Walsh 2 The Pass is just manufacturer spec'd at 60w, but it's got good current as it can get to 200w into 2ohms, so the ... | |

| Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years @georgehifi , I believe the Threshold S 500’s were rated to about 20% Class A; or 50 Watts. With impedance drops; as the power output doubled, the Class A output halved.There are 20 output devices per channel for a total of 40. Though, I think som... | |
| How many amps do you own? Like I said I have the best one for the job, that doesn’t mean I didn’t try any before settling on that amp, but always "end up with the one"Just like my dac's I have a few but there is still "the one"Cheers George | |
