| Pass Labs Is the point not that Paul McCartney was poor, but rather that he was a cheapskate, so his drummer was poor? Paid the drummer with the blessings of his presence. | |

| Pass Labs "It seems in some circles if an audio product is very affordable yet said to sound excellent it will be viewed warily by some merely because it isn’t expensive (enough)."Perhaps, but how many "giant killers" or fad budget items of the year/month h... | |
| Pass Labs and Gary Johnson, I imagine:"Pass Labs? No way. I will absolutely test positive for THC."Poor guy didn’t stand a chance against the machines. | |
| Pass Labs I disclaim my "stake" in another’s purchase of drool-worthy 300 watt class A, 300 pound, two-chassis monoblocks from a premier manufacturer. Congratulations on your purchase and sale. | |
| Pass Labs I think if President Trump was into audio, he'd promote gilding these amps for a yuge, phenomenal expansion of the soundstage and a very, very great lowering of the awful, hateful noise floor. Maybe blame our bad deals and China for the high pric... | |
| Pass Labs @p59 LOL!Because this has turned political, Feel the Johnson. So disappointing that a third party didn't have a better showing.Wonder if any of these ex-presidents (or current one) are/were audiophiles, with or without $85k amps. Just had an im... | |

| Pass Labs Qu'ils mangent de la brioche. That's the problem with the existence of high-priced luxury items?To not "complain" about an out-of-reach luxury item means one is not in his/her "right mind?"Seems excessive, regardless of one's wealth, but I'm not ... | |
| “Invest” in Tekton? So, has anyone done any extensive listening to these things and come away with any impression other than they are enchanted and covered in fairy dust? At least as to their value?Figured I should be set with my floorstanders for a long while, but,... | |
| Pass Labs So, has anyone actually listened to these amps? Impressions over lower level Pass or in comparison to our lowly, but still 1%, Halos, First Watts, Carys, etc.?George came close with a note about Gryphon.@mesch--I'd submit that the best time to ha... | |
| Pass Labs This is relative. Pointing to an $85k amp price that many folks, even here, think is "nuts," and suggesting that someone who can or does buy one is somehow heartless or lacks empathy. Is it the same with a $5 coffee, a $100 steak, $200 wine, $50... | |
| Cary Audio CAD 211 FE tubes upgrade. When I used the 845 tii, they opened up a bit after about 30-40 hours. Not a huge difference, but bass improved, and a tiny bit of an edge on the upper mids seemed to smooth out.I'd suggest getting used to the sound difference the 845 tii made an... | |

| Cary Audio CAD 211 FE tubes upgrade. I'm running that combo, too, in one setup. I have an SLP05, which is a much better match with the CAD211fe, but it's in another system.Anyway. I'd suggest next targeting a replacement for the stock 6sl7. Then, assuming you have new production E... |
