Hi ! I’m very interesting in the new line Yamaha AS3000 and want to hear other have compare it with some of the pass labs int , what are your thoughts on both of the gears , so far I been looking at a used totl Yamaha but I haven’t seen any come up used , it kinda rare here so it made me think that people must love and want to keep it , so what are your thoughts ?

I get that many love Pass, but it is not universal. I don't think Pass is or should be the gold standard at all.


You are free to like it, but please keep in mind it is a personal standard, and most certainly not universal.


No one should buy a Pass unit without listening to it.



Best,

Luxman ?? Love mine, and never heard a Pass unit I liked.

Have not heard the top end Yammies. I've read somewhere though that there is a very big gap between the top end Yammie integrated and the next one down. Luxman has a closer spread between top of the line and next models.
