The Pass Laboratories INT-30A integrated amplifier doesn't do much, and 
that's what makes it great!

 

I've probably reviewed well over a hundred amplifiers, but I can't say I've ever really 
heard one. I'm always listening to an amplifier driving a speaker, so the sound is 
really the combination of the two.  

I'm pretty sure Nelson Pass has not only listened to more amps and speakers than I 
have, he's designed more than a few of my favorite high-end amps.
