Pass vs McCormack?

Well you probably don't see comparisons of these two brands because they are in different leagues price wise. Sonically I think they are both nice, musical solid state amps. However, the Pass amps tend to cost a LOT more than the McCormack amps. There is another thread that just listed comparing Pass to Krell, that's a more normal comparison.
Folks tend to compare items that are in a similar price range, whether it's amps, speakers, cars, etc. Folks don't compare BMW's to Chevy's much either.

Thanks. I do see Pass amps for 1500 or so used, which is not that different from McCormack DNA-1s for example. I think Pass Aleph 30s are an example...

Diff price league for similar power output. DNA-1 is over 150 wpc, IIRC. Pass is 30.

Swampwalker,

OK, pretend the price difference doesn't exist.

Have you heard both and have any opinion as to relative sound character?

Don't seem to be having much luck in this thread.
