How many of those run class A?This is the first Pass Labs amplifier I really like the look of. At $9k it should give some of the equally overpriced integrated amplifiers from some of our Japanese friends a decent run for their money.

Money. Lots and lots of money. if I live long enough for it to become vintage maybe I can actually afford it..yeah..so what does that cost?
A quick look at their website doesn't reveal any - much less finding integrated amps.I think there is one, can't recall which. Could be the TAD maybe?
Furutech if memory serves.I really like those speaker terminals on the Pass. Who makes them or are they bespoke (the torque ratchet with a nice cam shape- I can feel my fingers thanking me already)?

Anyway,
Music sounds really nice even on far less nice vintage items, just in case the last few pages blurred that for a lot of us.
$16,800 according to this source.Accuphase’s top of the line integrated is 30W/Ch class A, and has been through a number of versions. I think the current one is the E-650. It’s supposed to sound wonderful, as it should, since in the US it costs almost as much as a new small car.
Better that than a nursing home if you ask me. If only we could predict the future with enough certainty to make such decisions rational.
Not surprising, as it's an article intended for mass consumption. McIntosh is a name that the average non-audiophile reader might recognise as a premium brand, whereas, say, Harman/Kardon or University would be virtually unknown to anyone outside of the vintage audiophile community.McIntosh this, McIntosh that, blah, blah, blah - Geez Louise
