I,too, am interested in Pass Labs amps. I do not know which way I will go-separates vs integrated ?

Jafant...

Were I constrained by space I'd definitely consider the integrated based upon my experience with the 150.5 amp - besides that, an appreciable cost efficiency as well. I see that Reno Hifi has one for $3795 right now. If you were to go separates pretty much double that.  

I bought my 150.5 from Mark there, I do believe you've mentioned doing business with him as well. I paid $2400 for a demo a couple of years ago and regret selling it. Currently used ones are fetching about $1k higher!  Sheesh.  I'm an idiot!  I think I was using an ARC pre at that time.

Much Thanks! for the suggestion. Reno HiFi does has a stellar reputation for First Watt & Pass Labs gear.  I have heard the Pass Labs separates, I want to demo the various integrated amps for a comparison.

On the flipside of this particular coin, I am interested in the B.A.T integrated as well. I do not have a Pass Labs nor B.A.T. dealer/retailer here in the deep South. Wish I did...

Why did you sell your Pass Labs?

Because I'm an idiot!!!

I think I did to fund a McIntosh MC275.  Still kicking myself for that.
