THE ENDLESS DBT DEBATE
Nelson Pass uses DBTs? That is interesting. at the Pass Labs website the following claim is made about one of his amps... Speakers: Pass Labs is pleased to introduce the "Rushmore" loudspeaker system. This is an exceptionally dynamic and tonally balanced active four-way listening system featuring a 15 inch woofer, 10 inch lower midrange, 5 inch upper midrange and a 4 inch ribbon tweeter. Each "Rushmore" loudspeaker consists of four independently adjustable low wattage Class A amplification packages plus a four-way active electronic crossover. .... more XA Series: The emphasis of the XA series is a little more toward performance over power, and the initial product is the XA200. It has the warm midrange and sweet top end of the Aleph series mated with the dynamic range and bass control of the X amplifiers .....more It looks to me that the claim is one of a distictive sound of this amp for the better. Does anybody know if Nelson Pass used DBTs with his amps? Couldn't say Wouldn't you like to know? but what we *can* say is that three experienced audiophiles (including Steve Zipser) couldn't tell the top Aleph 1.2 monoblocs from an old Yamaha integrated amp in Steve's own reference system, which used Dunlavy-designed speakers.................... BRBR Of course, what would you expect Nelson to say on his website? :-) -- BRBR In your experience, have you actually caught manufacturers lying about superior sound from their products who have conducted DBTs on their products and are satisfied that their products sound no different from any other competent design? P.S. I don't know why this post showed up now. I posted it at least a month ago. |
