Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?


I have about 15k to spend on an amp/preamp/integrated amp.

I mostly listen to smooth jazz like Dave Koz, Rippingtons, Brian Culbertson etc.... and loud.

I have yet to hear any amp that comes close to Pass Labs.

Your experiences pls ?

Hi,
Listen the sony ta-5650 (V-fet), similar pass first watt SIT, but more power and incredible sound, better than luxman L507x and McIntosh mc-225 !!!
I don't compared the fisrt watt SIT with my sony V-fet...
But the sound is similar, read the forums...
The power transistors SIT are the same than V-fet sony, nelson pass use sony V-fet transistors in the SIT amps.

Hi,
Excuse me, i'm new, i did'nt introduce myself...
I'm french, so excuse me for my english langage...

My system:
Preamp lampizator subminiature 
Sony ta-5650 amp 
Focal sopra 1 speakers 
Marantz cd7 
Dac DIY Nos tda1541A S1 (for tv)
Atelier acoustik OCC/silver teflon HP
O2A and Furutech power cables 
Espace musical muse 1 RCA cables 

I compared my system with a lot of amps, including the luxman L507x, i always preferred the sony, at the same time for the natural, smooth and the vivid sound!
Now, with the lampizator preamp, the sound is even more natural and organic!
