Anyone heard the new Pass Labs Rushmore at CES?
The original Threshold speaker was called the Ion Cloud (perfect audiophile product: toxic and unobtainable). Cheers!Quin 
Pass Labs Xono - Any users out there?
I did call Pass Labs up. From a functional and voltage output standpoint, the units are the same. Obviously in the larger chassis there is an opportunity to open up the circuit layout, since there is more room. It was explained to me that the styl...

Pass Aleph Questions
Hello Peter_s,I have used an Aleph 5 for awhile now, after having an Aleph 3 for awhile on a loan before that. I find that the 5 has more controlled bass, and an overall authority that controls my speakers in a cleaner fashion than the Aleph 3. Ho... 
Pass Aleph vs. McCormack: What to Expect?
Peter,The Aleph 3 is not bridgeable, per se, but you could parallel wire the outputs (red to red, black to black) and split the input signal from the preamp with a Y splitter, thus using each stereo amp to drive one channel only. A more desireable... 
Pass Aleph vs. McCormack: What to Expect?
What you pay for in the original Pass Aleph 3 is exotic metalwork compared to the Aleph 30. From an electronic standpoint, identical components are used internally, the patented Aleph current source is utilized, and Pass tweaked the circuit to off... 
Does anyone own the Pass Labs X1 preamp?
Hi Ken,Nonetheless, he started the thread inquiring about the Pass Labs X1. "Does Anyone Own the Pass Labs X1 preamp?"Since you apparently do not, then plugging Spectral(twice) seems quite deviant from the initial inquiry. :-)Having some experienc... 
Does anyone own the Pass Labs X1 preamp?
With all due respect, I don't see what a plug for Spectral has to do with an inquiry about Pass Labs?Cheers!Quin 
Why are there so many unopened amps, ect for sale?
Just for the cause, an old dealer trick is to invert the sealed packing box, open from the bottom, and then reseal. In the case of inner/outer box configurations, sometimes the outer will be opened in a conventional manner but the inner "apparentl... 
New stuff from spain selling at less then used
For the good of the cause, the fellow selling from Spain is not listed as an authorized Pass Labs dealer. I also notice that he incorrectly lists the new price of the Pass X350 as $6K, when it is really $9K in the US.Cheers!Quin
