The EVOLUTION PAS 3.3 and PAS 5.3 at a glance

The special feature of the PAS 5.3 is its tube line stage, which is located in the preamplifier section of the device. Based on tubes manufactured specifically for AVM, a completely new tube stage has been developed for the current EVOLUTION series, which brings the sonic charm of AVM tubes to its full potential. Thanks to AVM's proprietary circuit technology, a remarkably long tube life is guaranteed (approx. 20,000 hours).
The PAS 5.3 and PAS 3.3 offer an extensive selection of connections and combine these with the versatile streaming functions of the AVM X-STREAM Engine®. Both devices also feature a sensational phono stage, the settings of which can even be controlled via the RC X app for iOS and Android.
The PAS 5.3 is visually distinguished from the PAS 3.3 by the glass pane in the device lid. Through this darkened window, the tube stages can be beautifully observed at work. The PAS 3.3 operates as a purely transistor-based device. All other connection and performance data correspond to those of the PAS 5.3. The most obvious distinguishing feature is the closed, brushed aluminum device lid.
