    I've owned a few Adcom amps and wish I had kept my 5500 at times just because I liked the sound character of it,. My Threshold is a big step up from there and the Pass even a good step up from Threshold, IMO. I will say from doing my research the newer ".5" versions are supposed to be warmer than the prior X versions.

    I'm anxious to see how you like the amp. If the Nuforce has XLR it's highly recommended to use them, something to do with Pass's patented distortion canceling circuit. It will describe it in the manual.

    I will definitely let let you guys know how I like it. Mr P I actually did some studying on the issue and learned that NuForce actually designed the P8 and P9 to use the XLR outputs and includes the RCA outputs for flexibility. If you look at NuForce preamps and amps all their stuff has XLR hookups. I do have brand new XLR cables that I used with the Class D audio amp so I will try those and the RCA and give my feedback on which I like better.
