[vdi_nenna]

Congrats and many more future successes.

 

[Dennis Hui]

Congratulations!

I guess the XP-32 is next?

 

[WBS]

Congratulations to the Pass team! It is nice to see this pre beat out one that costs almost twice as much. Kudos Wayne!

 

[Nelson Pass]

And all the power amps as well.

Wayne, how many years have we been working together? 30?

 

[wayne]

Thirty years this year Nelson.

These products are a group effort. Sometimes the basic design seems like the easy part. Refining it is the time consuming part.

Well done and thank you for letting this sort of success rub off on the dot offerings that you share here.

It might be cliche but no less true, we stand on the shoulders of giants.

Congrats!

Note correction. Auto correct apologises.

Congratulations Nelson and Wayne and the rest of the FW and PL crew! Well done indeed and thank you for sharing so much back to us DIYers!

My favourite Nelson Pass contributions are (not in any particular order, and not necessarily in the past year):
F6
F7
M2
SIT3

Those 4 amps are seriously dumb simple yet absolutely genius.

 

[Eric]

Congrats! Though, I can't really say that I'm surprised 😉

Thank you again for continuing to share your achievements and insights with us from the peanut gallery!

 

[diyralf]

I do not see any measurements here?

For a minute I almost thought I saw a surface mounted component in one of the photos, displayed on the website linked in post #15.

It's where the vertical blue line intersects the horizontal blue line.

Wow! Where can I find those rca jacks? I need some!

You guys "ROCK". Well deserved.
Remember years back, when an acquaintance of mine got the TAS
Golden Ear Award for one of his speakers. Looking at his face then,
gives me a hint on, how proud you guys must feel.
Keep up the awesome work 😀
