Pass labs X600
Audiofankj. Your memory serves you well. The difference is really like pulling a wet blanket off my speakers. What seemed like dynamic and clear, becomes lazy and opaque in comparison. Of course, I am speaking from my own experiences with my own s... 
Pass labs X600
Vvrinc, I hear you. I live down the hill from the Pass headquarters. I got a personal tour of the facilities. I had been a loyal Pass man for three years. Times are a-changing. I'd bet there are some furious company direction discussions going on ... 
Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ?
I've changed again. I am using H2O monos to power my 1 ohm Scintillas. 
Audio Note Dac 1.1x
Maybe I should call myself Sapogee. ;) I've been listening for forty years. I have heard a lot of up sampling and oversampling cd players, and haven't really liked any. A friend brought over Audio Note's cheapest, the Zero. Immediately, I noticed ...

Daltonlanny, do I have your Adcom? I lost all my mail. 
Pass labs X600
I know a guy who did just that. I bought his X600 and later sold it for an Acoustics Reality eAR, only to be sold for H2O monos, my present amps. Each change worked wonders. 
Digital Amps - Your opinions and why so few?
Rooze, the pics you saw must have been of his very first hand made prototype. My amps have perfect fit and finish. All the ones I've seen pictures of coming off the line are the same. I hear you on the sales lag time. There is a waiting list. As f... 
Digital Amps - Your opinions and why so few?
Hi Ramy, I'm glad you like the Acoustic Reality. It was a revelation to me, as well. BTW, my amp journey took me through the Pass X600 to the eAR. Now, I have moved to a new best amp ever, the H2O, another ICE powered amp, but one that is all toge... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
You can strike that one in stone! 
Monoblock Suggestion?
I tried Pass Labs X-600 on my demanding speakers, but liked the ICE powered Acoustic Reality eAR stereo much more. Now, I have beefy ICE powered H2O monos. These can handle any load, are slighly warm, yet crystal clear. They develope a tightly con...

Thanks Tab110s, I left a message. 
Apogee Duetta signatures or mirage M3si?
I am one lucky guy. I have the 1 ohm Apogee Scintillas powered by scintilating H2O monos, wired by Home grown Silver Lace, and a non over or up sampling Audio Note DAC doing the front work. This music machine is truly heaven on earth. My total cos... 
SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this?
That is what I thought. There are hidden gremlins. I thought the Pass amp was the last word in fidelity. People use my older posts against my evangelizing over the H2O. My defense is, you are only aware of what you know. 
SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this?
Reb, did you read my post? Are the Hexfets Pass Labs currently putting into their amps antiquated? 
Magnepan 3.6r or Apogee Divas?
The fact dynamic speakers are slower than ribbons, or panels, is why I don't use a sub woofer with my Apogees. They straight line down below 20Hz, anyway, so why bother?
