Pass 60.8 integrated - who has heard it?

[Bob Heinatz]

Looking for any owners and their opinion on the Pass 60.8 integrated. Does it capture the sound of their separates?

Anyone?

There is no exact match in the separates XA.8 series for the INT-60. I find it to be a noticeable step up in sound quality compared to the INT-150 and the INT-30A. Unlike those two units, there are 2 gain stages in the INT-60, so perhaps a little less purist, but that has paid off with better sound IMO.

I have heard the INT-30A ( not the INT-60) and also have had +/- 6 months the 60.8 monos ( combined with XP20 and AR Ref.6 preamplifiers)
I liked in the INT30A the Tube like presentation ( warm sound ) , more real to me.
And liked in the 60.8 the space and better bass reproduction.

I liked more INT-30A.
