I find it interesting that in his original posting, mgottlieb claims that Pass' position is, "nonsense" and "among the stupidest things a manufacturer ever said", and then he turns around and slams the company rep for his "delicate sensibilities", and THEN proclaims what a Pass lover he is! C'mon, gottlieb, seems like you're being a bit fork-tongued, eh?
Power cords for Aleph amps
Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any experience matching pc's with the aleph amps. For the last year, I had heeded to advice of the Aleph 2's manual not to spend extra money on PCs for these monos. From my understanding the reasoning was due to the high capacitance and watershed of power to be drawn from, so no immediate surge of power would be needed. That now said, I recently added a pair of very reasonably priced (retail 200 each) Discovery PC's and noticed an immediate improvement in clarity of female vocals and noticeably better transients. I am very happy about this change and it makes intuitive sense that the PC's should improve exactly this. I was wondering if anyone has had good/bad experience with these amps and PC's. IF it is helpful, my system is a Muse model 5 transport with a Marigo Ref RMX C PC- Illuminati D-60- EAD 7000 MkIII D/A with a LAT PC- Kimber KCAG- Muse model 3 pre with a Tice PC- Zeus audio yellow jacket- Aleph 2's with the Discovery PCs- cardas 5c speaker cable to B&W 804s. All components except the alephs are going through a Counterpoint PAC-5 (great little conditioner for sources IMHO). Any input would be appreciated. Thanks and Happy Holidays, Todd (tsquared)
