Re: The newest integrated amplifier from Pass Labs is the pure Class A INT-25.
As long as I don't use it with speakers that are simply too inefficient, it's really hard to find fault with my INT 60.
It's almost as if the Pass guys met up with the folks at Fyne Audio just for me
- or at least, for a greater ME...

I really like the face of this INT-25 over the bigger deep diving suit - looking ones.

Re: The newest integrated amplifier from Pass Labs is the pure Class A INT-25.
It is indeed the best looking Pass Labs component yet with its Art Déco influence. I just wish they did something more with the top plate...

My Pass INT 60 in the rack.

Although I am a huge fan of the INT 60, the VU meter? Not so much, as you can (not) see below:

Re: The newest integrated amplifier from Pass Labs is the pure Class A INT-25.
I would love to try the Pass 25, but am fearful that I will love an amp that is a bit - or maybe a lot - under-powered for my RPR demo sessions.

I agree. Way too bright. I will likely cover the meter on my X350.8 as well. Originally Posted by Jim Smith

Re: The newest integrated amplifier from Pass Labs is the pure Class A INT-25.
I couldn't tolerate the meter lights on my Pass 600.5 amps, so I cut two pieces of cardboard, painted them black, and added to each amp.

Re: The newest integrated amplifier from Pass Labs is the pure Class A INT-25.
I built slideable stands for each of the three GIK panels. The array is about 1/2-1/4 inch in front of the component racks.
Hmm, I ought to write something about the performance/price ratio of the GIKs, IMO....DPT4ME - Dynamics, Presence & Tone for Musical Engagement; MBP (3) - stripped down for music only; Shunyata Omega & Sigma USBs; ISO REGEN w/short Curious USB links; Berkeley Alpha USB; Aqua La Scala II Optologic DAC; Schiit Yggdrasil - fully updated; Ayre Codex dac - updated; Pass Labs INT-60 integrated amp; Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE-2 preamp, Quicksilver Mono 120 amps w/Tung-Sol KT150s; Quicksilver Mid Mono amps w/Gold Lion KT77s; Fyne Audio 703s; Symposium Svelte Plus & Ultra Platforms; REL S-812 subwoofers; Duelund DCA12GA speaker cables; AV Room Service EVPs, Stein Music Harmonizers, Duelund DCA16GA & 20GA ICs; Shunyata Denali 6000S/V2; Tripp Lite PCs; Wyred 4 Sound power cords; AudioDharma cable cooker; dedicated custom room; various GIK & ASC room treatments; etc.
