I’ve heard different Pass amps in friends’ systems and have always been pleased with the performance. Hoping the same when these hit my own system.

I think you will really enjoy the synergy of all-Pass electronics. I've tried various mix and match combinations but for me the combination that sounds the best in my system is Pass phono - Pass preamp - Pass amps. While I've always had some tubes in the system before, this is the absolute most quiet background of any electronics I have owned.
