Me too. As a previous owner, I found the RI-100 wanting. The SIA 025 was substantially superior.

Re: Pass Labs x250.8 or x350.8
High damping factor can be achieved by using heavy does of negative feedback. I think Pass Lab amp would not adopt this approach. I am using Pass X250.8 driving may Magico S5. The bass is powerful...

Not necessarily. In Bud's case, I guess the signal passed though a preamp, which might put on further gain. -

Re: Gryphon Diablo 300 Review
+1. I had the RI-100 but sold it after a few months. Apart from sonics, I was also uncomfortable with the graduation of its volume control. At some level, it was 1.5 db per step.

Re: Sad news
David, my condolences. May your Mum rest in peace. Hope everything is OK after the grief. I lost mine years ago and still think of her everyday.
