Default Pathos Logos, my thoughts (soon)

I just wanted to tease a little...

The Pathos Logos is on its way to me and I think I am more exited than with the Vincent SV-236 that I wrote about.

This amp has been on top of my wish list ever since I first saw it and read the reviews.

As soon as it comes in I will share a nice picture of my new 'baby'...

Great amplifier. I am sure you will enjoy it. I had the Pathos classic one for a while and liked it very much. The logos is even better and more dynamic.

Interested to hear your thoughts on this. The amp has been on my radars for a while.

I got it in, but did not have time to give it a good listen.
The original feet are being replaced by newer (Pathos original) aluminum feet.

The waiting is over!

It's here and do are its new feet.
I HAD to change the feet, they were plastic! Now they are the better aluminum ones...

That thing is HEAVY! 65lbs, as much as my 9 year old...
After putting it in place and connecting the cables it was ready to be turned on.
A few heavy relay clicks later the amp was ready to do!

Starting up the 'equipment test' playlist on my
Sonos I immediately hear the sound stage being huge!
It was really all around me.
Putting it through its paces playing acoustic guitar, fast paced rock, electronic, female vocals and bass heavy pieces.
This amp eats it all with ease!
Bass is tight, fast and deep.
Mids are realistic and detailed.
The highs are crisp, detailed and not sharp sounding.

Overall every style of music will sound incredible through this amp!!

Only point of disappointment is the acoustic guitar, they don't sound as natural and realistic as the good tube amps.

Bottom line:
Stunning looks, heavy built and flexibility in what types of music sound good.
This will appeal many for its aesthetics and sound.

Simply great!

Congrats! Great amp. This was the first amp I heard that introduced me to high-end audio at a friend's place in NYC back in 2000. He had it paired with JM Focal 928 speakers and a Burmester CD player. Very musical amp. Enjoy it!

I did enjoy it, a lot!
But.... it did not dethrone my Primaluna Dialogue 2 amp...
I think once you go tube you never look back.

Don't get me wrong, if I could keep both I would!
That Pathos looks and sounds the part and has a lot of advantages over the Primaluna.
