    Just a little clarification that this is not a Pass B1, it is a DC-coupled version of the B1 with on-board shunt regulators, and is thus better than the Pass B1.

    I tried a DC B1, kept it a week, and that was only because I worked 3 days that week, otherwise it would have been gone sooner lol

    Best of luck with the build, hope it turns out good for you.

    Mikey lol, that made me laugh.

    What didn't you like about it and what did you use it with?

    Hopefully it's a better experience than yours.

    I know Andrew but the cost of buying a new case is out of the question at the minute. I may be able to re-home the transformer into a smaller case and we'll away from the circuit. I'll see how big the transformer is when it arrives and work from there.

    After I've had a listen to it, as I don't want to throw good money at a dead duck.

    I'm just very susceptible to an edge on treble and it was the same when I tried the EWA M50 Pre I borrowed from Colin.

    Both into my Primaluna Power amp, but don't worry I'm sure you'll like the Pass. It just didn't suit my ears.

    Ah, I see. Ok, well I'm not put off by that so that's good. Just looking forward to it arriving and getting started.

    Why would you only choose a 2 way switch ?, get a 6 way and give yourself the option of more inputs if required
