Denafrips Pontus 15th, Pass Labs INT-60, and Wilson Sabrinas


Curious what people think of this setup, I’m using Transparent interconnects and the Wilsons are not the X model, but are refurb’d originals. Was planning on using Amazon 12 ga. speaker cables, but I wonder if this is going to be a weak link in my setup. The amp is 8 weeks out so I’ve got some time to rethink the cables. Thoughts?

This has all been great! Seems as tho I made a pretty good choice for my first real system. After the amp comes in (8 weeks) I’ll come back with how it sounds! I’ll try out some better speaker cables on loan from Definitive. I am finding that I might be afraid that the INT-60 is under-powered, but may be good enough for my apartment setup this round. Thanks all!

No worries on Int-60 power delivery. It’s Pass Labs it will be fine. I mentioned above I was originally driving my Sabrinas with XA30.8. 
But….the more power the better. When you’re ready you can step up to Int-250 or go the separates route. But I really believe you’ll be just fine with the 60. 
I recommend plugging the Pass amp direct to wall. Skip power conditioners. 
Try Audience Forte f3 power cable on the Pass amp. On a cheap side but a very nice improvement over stock. 

How will you know what cables will be best for your system if you are using cheap cables you aren't familiar with? Go with a speaker cable that has a well known character like Cardas Quadlink 5C. Fairly inexpensive used and great to have as a reference.
