Oh My what to do?

New Pass Labs 250.8 - Jan 2014
I'm sure all of the .5 series amps will become .8 series amps in time. Probably even the XA series of class A amps.

Last night was:Mayer Hawthorne-"A Strange Arrangement" and "How Do You Do". Have you guys heard this artist? He is really, really good. His music is classified as "Neo-Soul".
