Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?
I grew up with JBL Century L100s and I am very close to getting either JBL S3900 or JBL S4700.They are not talked of much in these threads but I have a thing for JBLs :-)

Thanks for all your recommendations.  There seems to be many choices.  I have to listen to them all.The ONLY concern with Pass I have is the furnace effect.  But I guess class A has its cost...... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Hi ramtubes,About your variac suggestion :-)  Funny you mentioned that since I also came to the exact same conclusion.  I have rectifiers & capacitors already lying around with which I can build an un-regulated variac based power supply.  All ...

I am also looking for a lab/bench symmetric power supply of up to +/- 100 volts DC at about 2 - 3 amps (so about 500 - 600 watts) and having a very difficult time finding it.  The very rare ones I have seen are in excess of $1500.  I need such a s...

Thanks again ramtubes.  Sorry did not get back to you in time.  I was the one asking about the reliable electrolytics.  The amp I am building is about 300 rms watts/channel int 8 ohms.  I usually like over engineering things mostly for purposes of...

Nope, a mere mortal who can barely hear below 25Hz and above 15k at best

terry9, good analysis... But NOONE can HEAR the difference :-)  Unless you are a super human.  Are you ?

Why did you ever believe analog is superior to digital ?Apart from some "superhumans" here on this thread who claim they can hear sounds that do not even  exist, there is ABSOLUTELY no technical proof of even a hint that analog is better....

Hi ramtubes,Thanks for answering my previous question.  I appreciate it.I do have another question please...I am building a symmetric plus/minus 70 volts dc (2 x 50 volt ac secondaries) power supply for an amplifier I am building.  Mechanical issu... 
Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable?
Yet again, superhumans have taken over this site claiming they can hear electrons grinding at each other trying to race in a wire trying to reach the other end :).  No need to argue with super beings. They will never admit that spending thosands o...

Can you please tell me the purpose of resistors R1 -> R8 in the power supply shown below in the URL ?  Is it to reduce the resonant frequency in case the supply oscillates with the stray inductance of the smoothing caps ?https://www.passdiy.com...
