Hi
For sale is rare original Pass Aleph 5. I've bought it from Coherent Systems 2 years ago as ex-demo.
It is perfect working order as well as immaculate condition and coming with original box, packaging and papers.
Due to weight over 30 kg it is for collection only. I can deliver up to 80 miles (Luton).
As my current speakers are 4 ohms, it's not perfect match with the Aleph 5. The amplifier sit in the box from last summer. I can recommend it for speakers over 6 Ohms.
This is no compromise amplifier with 2 stages only, delivers 60 watt into 8 ohms. It benefits from better speaker and power cables, rewards tube like timbre, lively extended sound.
Amplifier running hot over 50 degrees C.
Original voltage 240.
Asking price £1800.

Lovely! Out of my price range these days sadly, else I’d be all over this.

This looks interesting!

Am I right in assuming that this is an original factory build rather than a clone or self build unit?

Thanks

Pass Aleph 2 are monos.

A very rare find indeed..

Always wanted to try a Nelson Pass amp but unfortunately I am tied to my current Naim's at the moment..

Naims are very good amps to me as well. I appreciate Naim audio for great engineering and sound.

Actually Grzegorz it took me over 20 years to realise how good the Naim sound is... I had loads of demo Naim amps over that time that just didn't 'do it' for me and I wondered what all the fuss was about to be honest; It was only when I moved up the range a bit until I 'got' the Naim sound and now I love my Naim amps.. However I really should decide between my XS2 and SN2 amp... I have lived very happily with the SN2 for the last couple of months so I 'think' the XS2 can now be sold, however the XS2 is quite a remarkable amp, especially for the outlay

The only problem with me, I like to taste different sound from many brands. Naim force us gently to buy all set up from them. Anyway their sound is really good and worth to go into it.

I know exactly what you mean Grzegorz as I now have a Naim CD player, as transport, into Naim Dac with Naim 5 Pin Din cable to SN2 and Naim speaker cable... I guess I'm a bit of a Naim convert now and I didn't ever think that would happen ;)
