Bell Canto VS Pass Labs


I was thinking on getting a new amp and recently told that the BC ref 1000 could compete compete with the 350.5 is this true?

Tvad he had a set of xa 60.5's used telling me the customer used those for a trade in on the ref 1000's

Ha! That was one really deaf customer...and one very shrewd dealer.

I'd quickly run away from him. Does he have camels in the parking lot?

Look, I can understand someone trading XA-60.5 for Bel Canto Ref1000 if they required more power than the XA-60.5 provide, and if they could not afford a Pass Labs amp with the required power output, but to characterize the sound of the two amps as comparable is ridiculous and laughable.

If the Pass Labs are the NY Yankees, then the Bel Canto Ref1000 are the Buffalo Bisons (no disrespect to the AAA Bisons, but the Yankees are in the Big Leagues).
Mlawitm,

In that case, I would run back there and make him an insanely low offer to take the pair of junk (Pass XA60.5) off his hands.

Actually, why don't you give me his contact info, and I'll take them off his hands. Currently I have the X350.5 and it is way too much overkill for my Verity Parsifal Encore.

Gundam I'll trade you the 350.5 for them. I would use them myself but I don't think it is enough for my 802's
26-lbs. (13-lbs x 2) vs. 150-lbs. pretty much sums it up, and believe me PASS has put that extra 124-lbs. to very good use...apples and oranges...PASS X350.5 all the way.
