maybe it is time to release a ultimate stereo power amplifier?

Dear Nelson,

I couldn't find a better power amplifier than my X250.5 simply because you haven't built one yet.(stereo not in monos form, space is premium for me) There must be a super stereo amplifier from Pass within 10k-20k usd range. I don't know how you will manage this but it has to be done soon. Or teach me how to modify a X.5 series stereo amplifier, I ,seriously, got fed up with changing power cables for fun.

It depends on what you mean by ultimate.

Candidates:

XA30.5

X350.5

F5

F5?

Uhoh!

Please Mr Pass, elaborate a bit on this mysterious "F5"

Is it too soon to start an "Official F5 builders thread?"

Maybe just a hint Nelson? What type of PS will we need? A typical Aleph type PS, or perhaps a regulated front end? Or something like the ZV5 PS?

I am very curious

You must wait for publication in AudioXpress. It should be out
in about a month +

DocLorren · 11th March 2008, 08:04 PM

Well, shall we start the F5 thread and leave it blank for you to fill in when the time is right? Or invite the Pass forum regulars to speculate a bit on the topology/design philosophy? We're like children you see, cannot wait, become anxious etc...

Ultimate: something, Pure Class A, 100 watts per channel 8 ohm, doubles in 4 ohm, very best internal parts, pure copper heat sinks, .........but ofcourse in STEREO!

That's the purpose of the DIY Progress Report thread. Or at least what it has turned out to be.

Well, what about just posting the BOM so we can start ordering parts and be prepared
