Re: The wait is over! Pass INT-250’s in stock at Suncoast Audio
The Pass Labs INT 250. IMHO, it just doesn't get any better in it's price range. I auditioned seven outstanding integrated amps at Suncoast Audio before settling on the INT 250. After owning it for 2 years I couldn't be happier. It gets the very best out of my Harbeth Super HL 5+ 40th Anniversary Speakers.

I literally had to roll in my INT60 from the front door to my rack on a 4 wheel dolly. LOL Originally Posted by CPP

Re: The wait is over! Pass INT-250’s in stock at Suncoast Audio
I had no one to help me unbox and situate my int 250. I brought the amp into the house from the deck and slid it down a flight of stairs (still in the box) one step at a time. Once downstairs in my listening room, I unboxed it. Then I placed padding (a blanket) on top of the 5' tall stand.
Next came the tricky part...placing the amp on top of the wooden cabinet without scratching or destroying anything. I first sat the amp on a recliner seat next to the cabinet, about 2' off the ground to adjust my grip. After lifting the amp to the top of the cabinet, I teased the blanket out from underneath the amp, very carefully, one corner at a time. Then I placed furniture skid pads under each leg of the amp. I donned leather gloves and a heavy long sleeved shirt. The heatsinks have sharp edges. Then I hoisted the amp to chest height, lifting mostly with my legs and set it on top of the cabinet and teased the blanket out from underneath the amp. That's it!
It was hard to believe I was able to accomplish this alone, but I only had my wife to help me and she's fairly petite. So I nixed the idea of using her to help lift. Anyway, I got the job done. Having said all this, I would not recommend trying it without help. But, if you're very careful, and have no physical ailments that precludes the lifting, it can be done.Amplifier: Pass Labs INT 250 integrated.

Re: The wait is over! Pass INT-250’s in stock at Suncoast Audio
I love a good integrated amp. Been a fan of them ever since I bought a NAD 3120 back in the 80s. Would love to hear the INT-250 sometime.
Or, even the INT-60...

I had my INT-60 for over 7 years, with 3 different speakers, and loved it. Still obviously a big Pass fan (see my signature). Originally Posted by Puma Cat

Yep, agreed. The times I generally use it are to switch inputs from the P1's optical input to the RCA input from the turntable. It also sounds fab when used just as a "preamp" for the TT.
The amazing Lumin P-1 is now the...
