Like the INT-60, the Pass Labs INT-250 utilizes the synergies developed in the .8 series power amplifiers. Unlike the INT-60, however, it brings 250 watts per channel of listening pleasure. With higher power MOSFETs and more of them, the INT-250 drives large, demanding and relatively inefficient loudspeakers at higher volumes without batting an eyelash, singing beautifully. Just incredible music from one component.

The new Pass Labs INT-250 builds on the point 8 series power supply and output stages. It uses the same efficient toroidal design in the power supply with both an electrostatic and Mu metal shield along with vacuum impregnating and epoxy fi ll. This gives us a very quiet transformer both electrically and mechanically. The power supply circuitry itself is also lower noise and has additional filtering, a little more complicated but worth it. The INT-250 uses a simplified preamp and volume control circuit that gives us sixty three 1 dB steps with lower noise and distortion while removing some signal path parts. Overall this makes for an integrated capable of driving larger less efficient loudspeakers, and being a very good “one-box” solution for a lot of audiophiles.
