FW Announcement

[drjbf1]

I don't get all this talk of retirement. You can't retire innovation and passion for audio. NP will still be the head of the business, just more fun to be had. More for greedy boys, probably... But more PL and FW to come too...

All the best NP, we're enjoying the ride...

......a rather more orthodox view from ZM.....iconic in fact.

I can easily see that having to build a hundred off of each design oneself leaves little time to do the things one wants to do....also it is sure to happen that an idea comes up from time to time (usually well before the end of a run) where an alternative detail may seem more attractive to the original design/layout; to be unable to make the change must be extremely frustrating!

You have given us a lot - thank you - now have fun Mr Pass.

Rightly deserved kudosssess! [And - perhaps - some for yourself....sometimes too modest!]

Mr Pass, I've always felt like you talents were being wasted with the assembling of amps. I thought it truly had to be a labor of love more than for monetary gain. Being a few years older and retired it is now a pleasure doing what I truly enjoy doing everyday and I think you have made a wise decision.

Less headache, more fun = better ideas!

I remember, many many years ago, when I called Pass Labs for a stupid question, the person who generously answered my question was Nelson himself...

 

[Nelson Pass]

When I retire I want to go on a World Cruise

I see a down side to this Mr Pass
With this extra time on your hands you will be asked to mow the lawn more often

I don't travel, and we have gardeners.

Nope, amplifiers is all there is....

Well, I think Papa goes out on the ranch to the beach, will watching the whales, drinking some red wine and thinking about new ideas.
I have this figured out, isn't it?

Yes very nice Papa focus his scope on experiments with semiconductors, topologys , innovations,
build himself prototypes amps but send FW serial production to PL Team.
It's start new more intense designs amplifiers time with luck we see write articles about Papa Diy discoverings
that lot benefits for all electronic audiophile hobby peoples.
Great to see Mr Pass on the beach watching the whales
My kindest regards

What about F7, will it go through a face-lifting process at Pass?
Any price impacts?
Or it will simply remain First Watt as it is and it will be operated by some team at Pass labs?
What can we expect?

I remember taking that photo during the first BAF. I think it was AR2 who Photoshopped it to bring out Papa's true magic!

Mr. Pass,

Does this mean FW pieces will become generally available through Pass Labs dealers?

Thanks,
Dennis

 

[WBS]

They already are here, through Reno HiFi.

That's true; I was wondering if FW distribution might expand.

 

[wrenchone]

Talk about getting overwhelmed by success...

 

[Zen Mod]

Papa is well versed in that ...... so , overwhelming isn't possible

So basically "High Pay, No Work, All Glory"? Congrats!
