Pass Laboratories INT-60 Integrated Amplifier


Over the past ten years, I have reviewed a half dozen or more products from Pass Labs. I ended up purchasing many of those components. It seems like every time I roll the dice and drift away in another direction, I come running back with my hair on fire and apologizing to the audio gods.... Read More »


Ready For Computer Audio? Ready To Rip, Download or Stream Your Large Collection? One Option To Consider: Murfie.


During my career with AT&T Bell Laboratories, I had many opportunities to visit some of the finest higher education institutions in the country. My focus was on central office switches for voice and data services—typically purchased and utilized by regional telephone companies for medium to large cities and urban areas.

If you have been following my reviews over the last few years, I have taken a considerable interest in integrated amplifiers. This includes those from Pass Labs, Vitus, D'Agostino, Simaudio, BMC and more. It was not my intent when arriving at CES this year to focus on this subject, but I noticed that there seems...

A Factory Tour In The Enchanting Foothills Of Arizona - D'Agostino Master Audio Systems

Pass Labs Xs Preamplifier and Xs 300 Amplifiers


When I was in my early teens, one of my fondest memories was helping my Father while he was working on his various audio projects. This was in the early 1960s. He was a fairly successful businessman but I always thought that deep down his true passion was electrical engineering and the consumer electronics of... Read More »


HiFi Supreme and Audio Horizons' "Platinum Reference More Than A Fuse" Fuses


It started with a dare. A good friend of mine has always been very respectful and complimentary of my current system.
