Humble genius. Really like that man, and his amps too.

Didn't realize Nelson Pass hits so close to home for me growing up in Sacramento and working @ UC Davis here and there. Stand up and super intelligent guy! Would be a dream to own one of his amps some day.

A true legend!

Nelson Pass mentioned he worked at ESS back in the 70s. My first speaker was an ESS with Oskar Heil's AMT. The clarity through the Air Motion Transformer was outstanding especially on female vocalists such as Joan Baez. Another great interview with Nelson.

Awesome and insightful interview. Many thanks to all for enlightening me in my audiophile journey. Cheers.

What a nice way to live your life when you can play with your hobby

Comments to Jays channel and this interview. My first separate power amp was a used JBL Energizer in 1970. This first model was the Model 400S - 40 watts/ch. A cutout in the back of a JBL speaker allowed it to be inserted into the cabinet. Both the input and the feedback loop were on a PC board for which the components for a particular JBL speaker were soldered on. The opposite side was a straight connection. There was a Integrated version which had the back part the Energizer as the power amp. These were followed up with a 60 watt /ch version. It was the first mod I did to equipment, changing the value of the input cap, which was published in the Audio Amateur. To attempt to use it, some of the caps in the secondary bridge need to be changed at least due to their age. The 40 watt Energizer was reviewed by Julian Hirsch in Stereo Review. The circuit was called the T circuit. I think it was patented by Bert Locanthi for JBL.

Thank you Mr. Pass.

Seems like a great guy, i really like his matter of fact demeanor

Currently running a Pass 250 with my Maggies. Great amp

The living encyclopedia he must be - you can just tell by that beard 😂😂😂 As an engineer seeing his lab makes me so happy - would love more content like this - documenting the humans behind the hobby that drives us all insane

very interesting interview guys... nice to hear NP talk about the development of is involvement in audio and the ideas that interest him... definitely he is motivated by his curiosity and creativity too. 🔊 thanks

Successful because they treat the customers ...dealers etc right and have multiple points of entry

Can we get First watt in Australia? 👌 love one 👌

Enjoy what you do and you will never have to work a day in your life ...

What does Nelson Say at 33:10 ... the video seems to chop out?

Talking about sound equipment and can't arrange dissent sound for interview

The heavy dude with the glasses on these videos really needs to go. They would be awesome without him.
