Pass Labs

You may want to reconsider outfitting your home theater with amplifiers from Pass Labs.

These are the prototype Concept amplifiers ($70,000) Nelson Pass has been working on. The meters put Dan D’Agostino’s efforts to shame.

The remainder of the Pass Labs components come from their existing line. One has to wonder whether you really need that large a volume control on your preamplifier. Both the preamp and the phono amp come in a single box or with a separate power supply. I’m thinking a Transrotor turntable would fit right in.
