Goofy E-Bay Auction

Mark A. Gulbrandsen · 28th November 2003, 03:26 AM

This auction has been on there on and off for quite some time. Its pretty amusing. If you do a search for Pass Labs it comes up.

The guy says the Belles 350's are better sounding and cheaper then the Pass XL-600's but they only sound best with expensive power cords and then he is going to throw in the $3000.00 power cords for only $2000.00. Sheesh.... So you save money with the Belles amps and then completely loose any savings from having to buy garden hose size power chords. At any rate Belles has definately stolen Nelsons Blue LED thingy......

Hey Nelson are you hiding some new type of XL circuit from us? This guy seems to know about it..........The XL-600....?

The Belles is 1KW into 8 ohms and they only weigh 60 lbs ea???? My 100 watt Aleph 2's each weigh more than that. Judging by the small size the Belles has to be using Class B output stages with a teenie weenie toroid, or does the Belles bridge connect directly to the AC line via the Kaptivator Chord all together bypassing the need for the teenie weenie toroid?

Oh, BTW: The 350's also sound better than his $18,000.00 tube amps too.

Yikes!

I think I first noticed that ad a couple of months ago. Do not know if it will not sell or if this is used to move multiple units. Either way it is posted so that a Search for Pass Labs shows the ad.

The unfortunate thing is that some poor gullible fool will bid on it eventually and get themselves ripped off.

i hate it when people tack on another brand name to what they
are trying to sell eg: Belles not Pass Labs...

to bad there isn't a way of having false headers show up at the
end of results listing or something like that.

just my little beef!

You know you're successful when they do that, tho.
