Pass labs X600

Armando, Perhaps it is in fact true that things are achangin'. Even Nelson Pass may be agreeing with all concerned: Pass labs is in the process of redesigning its entire X series, to be now called the X.5. An X600.5 should arrive hopefully in the first part of next year. Do not abandon the idea of X600 yet. But you may want to wait and have a listen to the X600.5 before you make any final decisions. I know I will.

Thanks Guidocorona, I will too.

I don't think so boys. You ought to go to diyAudio.com and communicate with the one and only. The physical differences btw the X--- and X---.5: is the introduction of single ended class A bias into the circuit, fast-recovery rectifiers in the power supply, and more efficient output devices in the output stage. Also added was both single ended and balanced inputs. Pass is doing as well as ever. He just has come up with a new biasing scheme to make the X series start sound more like the XA series.

Thank you for the pointer LiGuy. I will visit Diyaudio.com as suggested. In the meantime, have you had an opportunity to compare the sound of X with X.5 series boxes yourself already?

Guidocorona, please let me know what did you find out?
