Pass vs McCormack?

OK, guess you're right. Thanks for the help. I tried posting this again, so guess we can ignore that one.

Thanks
Jim

Hi Jim, I certainly see the pricing disparity that the others speak of, but I think considering both manufacturers reputation, it is a fair question. I wish I had the experience to answer it, hopefully someone will, I'd like to hear how they might compare.
We hear all the time about how an amp compares way above its price range.

Yes, isn't that the truth. If it's not better than amps twice its price, it's not worth the price being asked for it. :-)

Jim- As I think about your question, it occurs to me that you have nothing to lose by asking Steve McCormack and Nelson Pass that question directly. You can reach the former through SMc Audio (he does post on this site on occasion but unfortunately we can no longer PM each other) and the latter through the DIY sites. Neither of them has a significant financial interest and they both have a strong reputation for honesty, integrity and openness in their dealings with the public. If you decide to do so, I'd ask you to ask them for permission to post their comments.

Swampwalker, that is a good idea. I in fact called SMC this week and didn't get Steve, but his partner (Chris?), who talked to me for a long time about the upgrade options.
At times like this I just wish I lived in a big city.
