Anyone still rocking with their pan am this 2020? Just got an HE-1000 v1 and with the mullards cv4010 tube, the HE-1000 becomes very musical and technical at the same time. Can listen to the pairing all day

Hope you can still find one, still a very good amp in 2020.

If you ever find one, try it with sylvania gb-5654 tube. The best tube I have ever heard for pan am.

Can anyone confirm the DC plug spec for Pan Am? Since the tip color is yellow I assume it's 4 x 1.7mm? I've tried to get an answer from ALO but no response for a week.

Thanks

Edit - rolled the dice on some adapters and DC plug is indeed 4 x 1.7mm. There are cheap adapters that covert the more common 5.5mm to 4mm.

Please pm me if interested.

Hello everybody,

Does anybody ran into the dead battery problem for the passport? Any information on where I could find a replacement?

Unless you can get a replacement from ALO, at least get them to give you the parts details if it's available elsewhere, Otherwise, you can look for a general purpose 12V battery bank on Amazon if you don't mind the different form factor.

Has anyone compared the Pan Am with Alo CDM? I had CDM before and love it a lot, but switched to the wall powered dac/amp and now waiting for Pan Am - to use it as an amplifier.
Also any experience of using Pan Am as a dedicated amplifier with your DAC? What's your impression?

If I remembered correctly, the pan am has more power than CDM.

Judging by the type of the tubes, that are using in Pan Am - there is nothing strange if they has more output power then CDM subminiature tubes.
What can you say about sound signature difference?

The sound signature depends on the tubes you are using so I don't really bother comparing when I got to try the CDM. Hmm I thought the CDM is using a larger tube though

 

[elvispreasley]

CDM tubes are significantly smaller then the one are using in Pan Am. Also they need to be soldered on special mounting plate - to be used with CDM.
