    Thanks for the welcome.Just got into late night listening with headphones.Didn't realize there were so many options.Might need to put a couple more zip ties around the wallet.

    Hi Ardy, Interesting, before having Pass I had CJ as well, I had two MV60's converted to mono, started with a PV14ls2 pre and then a CT-6. I also use Sennheiser HD600 but with Musical Fidelity X-can. The Pass is engaging like CJ but gives back more control and power.
