What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have?
Born and raised in NYC I yearned for the mountains so I took upskiing, camping, hiking and hunting early on.  Competitive long range shooting has been fun the last 5 or so years. (I can shoot the volume knob off my Auralic Vega at half a mile)!  B... 
Can Pass XA60.8's drive Revel Ultima Salon2's without their tongues hanging out?
I need to pay .....well, tribute to the Tributes because they (and the current system) are open, articulate and musical. And the three 6" woofers produce a surprisingly deep, fast and punchy bass. The Beryllium tweeter sparkles just right too. I t... 
Can Pass XA60.8's drive Revel Ultima Salon2's without their tongues hanging out?
60.8s give me better separation of instruments and depth and width  of soundstage. I think the 250.8 had just a hair more of the uppermost treble. Al you said a mouthful! In "Jaws" speak I'm gonna need a bigger boat!  😁

An interesting aside: With my 250.8 I  cranked it a few times just see what it had. It was loud for sure and never left the 25 watt class A! The 60.8s stay in class A until 122 watts peak. What do you extrapolate from that?

Tinnitus remedy?
I'm a life long shooter, the last 5 or 6 years competitively and a definite coffee fiend. No wonder no matter how much dough I throw at this hobby I can't tell the difference!  :  )

larry, I recently put together a system based on Michael Lavorgnas reviews that has worked wonderfully. My cds only number a couple of hundred. Since I did not have a NAS I started out with the QNAP TVS471. Roon core is on the NAS on a 120gb SSD, ... 
XLR-Balanced Hybrid Hi-End Cable
I use Analysis Plus Solo Crystal copper and Silver Ovals that are silver over copper oval braid. The copper alone are punchy in the bass and drums (I like!) The silvers a tad more open and slightly laid back. Using Solo Crystal inter between sourc... 
What's going on with the audio market?
Interesting examination: 57, 35, as soon as this next system hits pay dirt!Why the quest? Why not?I've had what i call a scratch the surface  system. Combo 2-channel/ home theater. Anthem AVM 40, Anthem MCA 20 and 30, OPPO 95, Paradigm Studio 100s... 
Jumpers
I've always scratched my head as to why one cable run and jumpers would sound different from two runs of cable since they are usually coming of a single set of amp binding posts. In the case of jc1 monos there are two sets for each channel serving...
