| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss Coda amps are a good alternative to Pass (owned by ex-Threshold engineers). A big difference is the level of marketing. | |
| Integrated tube amp under $1000 / $2000 The best sound / price ratio of all mentioned above would be the Kingko KA-101 Pro. Outstanding performance with both the Klipsch Heritage and Reference lines. Icing on the cake is a world class headphone output.https://www.dagogo.com/kingko-audio... | |
| Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities Another vote for Manley or build a pair of VTA M-125 monos. | |

| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? My favorite of the ones I've heard would be from Herron Audio, an older model. I'm sure the latest is even better. | |
| Proper DAC Upgrade for my modest system. At $1200 I recommend you audition the Schiit Gungnir Multibit. They currently have several B stock units for $1169 + shipping. | |
