Dill and rudge, thanks for the comments. I will get back to you regarding my thoughts once I have listened to this amp.
Pathos Classic One MKiII vs. my separates
I have been thinking of downsizing my rig by going back to a hybrid integrated amplifier. I currently use a Jolida Fusion preamp with a BEL 1001 MK V amp to drive a pair of Esoteric MG 10 speakers (87dB sensitive, 6 ohms nominal dropping to 3.8 somewhere below 2000ohms). I enjoy the Jolida/BEL combo, change is just for the downsize. I like the idea of tube pre/SS output of hybrid integrateds, having owned a Vincent in the past. The Pathos is currently on offer here on AG. Asking for thoughts from members with knowledge of the Pathos. Thanks.

Yes, I recently acquired a matched pair of Matsushita-National 7DJ8 tubes (made in Japan) from a seller over at AudioMart. I only have a few hours on them, however they sound really good. The tubes they replaced are rare Valvo Cca’s, expensive and great sounding, but I am liking the 7DJ8’s! Glad you got the Pathos ... http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649352753-matsushitanational-7dj8-tubes/ |
