OK OK...I'm sorry I made fun of the meter.
But if the needle never moves, isn't that like having dead fish?

Everything you say about First Watt is true, and certainly helped seal the deal. The real reason I bought the J2 though is I'm a sucker for JFETs. I've been designing with them for years, and even...
The J2 sounds just fine, but thank you. I don't want to hurt Mr. Pass's feelings, so I'll suffer with the sub-par brand.
I'll admit I didn't invent the idea; my M-243 mixer has a peak indicator that lights if any stage output gets within 3dB of max output. Nice feature.
Rather than a meter, my preference would be an LED driven by a peak/hold circuit, to let you know when the peaks are exceeding the amp maximum output voltage (i.e., turn it down).
It wasn't my intention to pick on anybody, just to note that two different problems are being addressed. Most rooms do need some attention; I hung drapes around my listening room to combat the excess...
Looks quite different to me. I was looking at Pass Lab amps and realized I don't like the meter or the odd protrusions. To me the J2 just looks like lab equipment, which is fine with me. To test...
What an odd thread. No one said the obvious (well, to me), which is that the whole discussion is apples and oranges. Room correction can't fix the faults of a bad amp (phase intermodulation with...
