Thanks for the info everyone; and, by the way,Platsolos, there are a lot of X-1s coming up for sale; be careful and make sure you're getting what you think you're paying for: the newest ones have matching silver boxes (the older units have silver primary and black power box).
Need immediate help
To those who responded to my earlier thread asking for 2k linestage recommendations, I had already sold the c-j when I posted. I have taken the (gulp) SS plunge and got a Pass Labs X-1. Question for Pass gurus: must I run balanced; do any of you run single-ended? If I do run single-ended, what would I give up? (I have tried getting info from their website but it is vague).
Secondly, do any of you use amps other than Pass, and which mate well with X-1, or other Pass linestage/pre; I'm looking for something high current, at 150/watt/side. The reviews I've read of the Pass X150 hint that it may be a bit "lean" in the midrange?
Thanks for the info, in advance. Happy Holidays!
