Parasound to Pass Upgrade


I’m considering “upgrading” from my Parasound JC-1s monos to the Pass Labs X260.8 mono blocks. Does anyone have any experience or opinions on the performance differences I would expect? Thanks very much.

I compared the JC-1+s to Audionet Max monos and the Audionet were better in all aspects.

I think Pass has a distinct sound that works better with some speakers than with others.  Under no circumstances would I consider it a blanket "better" than anything from Parasound, regardless of price.

Contrast the performance with your speakers with Ayre, Luxman and Mc at least before making a purchase.

I’m also curious about the X260.8. One question I would like to add, hopefully not high jacking this thread, is how much heat do the X260.8 amps produce?
