First taste of Papa's new devices

[ra7]

Just browsing through 6moons.... and found this:
6moons audio reviews: Nelson Pass' NewWatt

Things are about to warm up...

Man, that's cool! Mr Pass, you need to add the PASS-SIT-1 to your avatar!

 

[Nelson Pass]

OK, here's the teaser curve again.

[Michael Rothacher]

Oh so drool-worthy.

 

[ra7]

That's the first time I've seen color graphs from Papa. It's so good that it's in color!!

Any chance production was large enough to open some samples to us poor, lowly DIYers?

 

[carpenter]

Are these Nelson's custom made Fets I heard about a long time ago?

it really depends of what you exactly heard ......



(tip - take a look at nearly hour long Papamovie ; link is somewhere in Papapers thread ...... aha - found it : The TWiT Netcast Network with Leo Laporte )

rumor is that Papa will give free packages for each BAFer this year ; package will consist of 4 pcs of Papafets + 2pcs of WE300B , intended for comparison purposes



edit: I'm disappointed - no OPTs included 😛

There seems to be other applications for these things, too:

Free custom transistors? I'm going to the BAF!! 🙂

 

[derwhalfisch]

It happened here

This is what I heard, right here in this thread:

The rumor is true. Pass Labs will give free packages for each BAFer this year; package will consist of 4 pcs of Papafets + 2pcs of WE300B , intended for comparison purposes

[Nelson Pass]

You guys can dream on...

I don't think that rumor's quite true.....

I had heard it's free packages of SIXTEEN Papafets, EIGHT each WE300B, TWO monoblock chassis and a PAIR torroids....! (but I hate to be one, to promote rumors!)

😀

 

[tinitus]

zenmod must be laughing his pants off right now 😀

well, knowing the cost of WE300B...no way

be careful
rules demands hard punish to any kind of spreading false info

I don't think they allow smoking cigarettes anywhere in S.F. Bay area. Darn near anything else - but not the evil cigarettes!! 🙄

I go so far to dream to be allowed to get access to these parts by paying for them. 😉

Maybe a remote option after the FirstWatt quantity of hand build PASS-SIT amps are sold out?

Seems fair enough to me. Can you imagine what Nelson's transistors will be worth if they sound as good as the curves imply? Big dollars in Nelsons bank account -- which I think would be fantastic. Anyone with the huevos to design, then have a transistor manufactured, deserves the fruits of his labors.

Question is, would we be able to get that exstra out of them, or are higher skills needed
