I can't wait for the first review to come out and claim a "darker mid-range combined with greater air in the upper freq" ............. :yahoo1:

Well, all the reflections off the silver face do distract from the listening experience. Myself, I am tired of the all black look since the 80s so I prefer the silver face units from anyone.

‘17 C7 GS still running great @ 21,000 miles. Gets out on the track once or twice a year to cleaned out.

That’s a Killer car. I had one. You can seriously get them today for a great price with low miles. The ladies dig the C7’s. I’m not sure they know what to think of the C8, which looks like it was designed with a ruler.

I had a C8 for about 3 days. Glad I sold it. Hearing about all kinds of issues. My C7 GS was rock solid and the ladies loved it!

I’m on the wait list for a z06, but as time goes on, and the problems keep popping up with it online, my interest is decreasing.

I agree. I definitely choose silver when possible. I'm saving up for a new streamer to purchase from Mike (as if I'd buy from anyone else) and definitely going to choose the silver option!

Having said that the Pass does look great in black.

Much prefer the C7 myself , the last real Corvette IMO ..!!
 
I am using my (black) Pass Labs First Watt SIT-3 in my main rig, while waiting patiently (Mike :) for my VAC Master 300 (black) to arrive. I am surprised at how beautifully the SIT-3 performs with my 91 dB speakers in the big room. Of course, the volume on the VAC Master Pre is set at about 11:00 vs the normal 9:00, but what I am hearing from the First Watt is very, very nice. This amp is a keeper, and I am sure I will work it in somewhere in the future.
 
Is the standard silver finish anodized? If so the pricing structure is odd as powder coating is about 1/3rd the cost of black anodizing.
 
I understand the black is available on the amps and integrated amps. Will it also be available on the preamps?
