Long, arduous journey this has been

I've been in contact with a seller on Audiogon and I've finally decided on an amp for the K1000 after going back and forth many times.

Pass Aleph 30 on the way

wow, that was a tough journey congrats!

so you came full circle back to the aleph 30. but now you now you need to get that killer tube preamp

but honestly, from my POV, i wouldnt want a tube pre that would take the amazing detail down a notch.

I might just use the Lavry's variable volume out, since people have reported good synergy.

No luck, just hard work

I would have to do a direct comparison before I bought one blind. I think the Aleph 30 will hold its own.

Congrats on the purchase..Great buy. I am sure that the aleph series of pass labs amps will do the k1000 a great justice.

Excellent choice, J-Pak. You must be excited, and watching the post every day.

In my experience, the K1000 just cries out for a big, honkin' Class A SS amp like Nelson Pass' Aleph designs. I predict you will be a very happy man once that beast arrives in NH.

You have probably seen this in your due diligence phase, but in case not, here is a nice review of your beautiful amp.

Is this what your's looks like?

Hi Gene. Yes thats the exact one, I was patiently waiting for one of these to show up. Finally paid off.

Should be a nice room warmer in the winter time

@J-Pak:

Haha, I'm certainly not talking down to the Aleph 30, but I've realized after getting my Aleph 3 that I want to get the best K1000 rig that I can possibly afford, and the F1 seemed like a sure-fire choice, having both professional and user impressions confirming its excellence with the K1000. I guess you can say it's a pre-emptive strike against upgraditis on my part.

But there's one thing which I'm sure that the Aleph 30 has over the F1: the power button is in the front.

Just make sure to call the Doc if it lasts more than four hours.
