Modern solid state HiFi hasn’t progressed tremendously since Pass made himself known. It’s gotten digital with AV types & conveniences like remote control, etc. His earlier company Threshold easily stands along his current models, especially where clarity is concerned. They were a straight-forward, purist designs of no compromise. I own his 1980 Stasis3 amp & SL10 preamp, still all original, but will be restored & upgraded next year. I’m also the original owner of a set of 1979 KEF Model 105 Series 1 speakers. These were used by Pass for his critical listening evaluations! Vintage may be old, but it’s not outdated. You can save thousands vs his current prices, & not sacrifice sound quality at all, even if restoration is needed. If your equipment has you visiting the chiropractor, that’s the good stuff!👍😎.

I haven't owned or listened to INT-60 but I had a long time back (and repent selling it) the X5 - 5 channel amp and loved PassLabs amps. Unfortunately most hi-end audio has increased 3x in prices. I can't afford a PassLabs anymore! ... and thanks for an 'honest' review :) .. if you listen to other reviewers ... you never hear anyone say anything negative .. everything is better than an equivalent that is 2x or 3x more .. and the ones that are 2x to 3x more are better than those costing 2x or 3x more! You get the drift!

You described the character of this amplifier perfectly. The bass has mass, but it lacks contour and edge. I listened to the XA100.8 a lot, and although it wasn't bright, it was reactive. The source changes a lot. For some time I had Linn Klimax DSM/3 with Organic and Utopik at home. But it worked with my amp. The progress brought by Klimax was stunning (I normally play on Linn Selekt DSM/3 with Oragnik and Utopik. So the Source can change a lot.

I still go with Pass Labs Int-60 and its power amps

Our prayers are with Mike and his team at Suncoast Audio in Sarasota Florida. Hopefully they and all the residents of Florida get through the hurricane safely!

OK guys - for everyone who've messaged me telling me how bad my videos are - bear with me as I've only got a few videos under my belt. :) I hope to improve over time and be as good as the reviewers you compare me to who have been doing this for years. New videos are going to be broken into sections - Overview; Front; Rear; Listening Impressions. I do appreciate EVERYONE who watches my videos!

I imagine the Pass Labs INT-250 would be the best of both worlds here. Would have all the positive characteristics of the INT-60 but with more energy, weight and bass heft.

Guys - to be clear - the Naim really performed surprisingly well in this.

Nice review. Im going to buy one..

Great review. Especially since I am a Naim fan (SN3 in my system and love the sound). But I am looking for a different (warmer) sound in a second system and this might fill the bill. Thanks. Just found you. I will keep watching.

Hi guys - a quick note that Mark (goes my MEP on audio forums) from Positive Feeback has been stalking and harassing us on audio forums since he was really offended I used the word "honest" in this review. It's sad to see that the dying legacy old reviewers are taking to harassing vids on YT to make up for the fact they don't like that it's easier than ever for us as audio lovers to discuss gear that they can't control. It's quite sad to see and we feel sorry for such angry old people as that.

Great review I just subscribed thank you very much for this. What do you think about the INT 25 saving few bucks if I got that one

Have you head any of the Pass Labs integrated amps? If so, what is your impression of them?

Subbed! Have a Gryphon Diablo 300 but also like Pass and would love to have the INT-60 or INT-250 to compare!

Would this amplifier will drive well speakers with 85db at 4 om (Dynaudio heritage special)?

Can you please tell me what version of Cornwall speakers you used that you mentioned in a video?
