| Recommend Class a Amp Almarg, yes I know you are right when you said we should not lump the Aleph and XA.5 designs together. For that reason, I almost didn't comment at all on the post about the xa30.5. But I have heard too many commentaries from xa30.5 owners that sou... | |
| Getting the Upgrade Bug Again Greginnh, yes a lot of people don't understand that about the 800 series B&Ws until they listen to them with amps that can really supply the grunt. They look at the 8 ohm impedance and the normal sensitivity ratings and just assume things. It'... | |
| Recommend Class a Amp If you value bass quality, ignore what Tjassoc wrote above regarding the low wattage Pass full class A amps. While I haven't owned the xa30.5 I do own the older Aleph 5 which is a 60wpc full class A model. AND I also own the newer x250.5 which is ... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... "Not digital quiet, that kind of quiet just sounds totally artificial to me."So now we are evaluating different qualities of "quiet." Oregonpapa, what exactly does quiet sound like anyway?Me, I prefer artificial digital silence over real silence. ... | |

| Pass amps: newer xa30.8 or older xa60.5 ? No I have not auditioned a .8 series myself at least not yet. About 220v best to just call them up or email them I guess. | |
| Pass amps: newer xa30.8 or older xa60.5 ? Ozzy, you said the worked with you to return the x350.8. How much did it cost you in the end to send it back? | |
| Pass amps: newer xa30.8 or older xa60.5 ? If I were giving business advice to Pass, I'd tell them to keep the lower priced .5 series around as long as oil prices remain so low!! | |
| Pass amps: newer xa30.8 or older xa60.5 ? Ozzy, good advice to listen first before developing any preconceived notions. Always the best advice. Thanks | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? A fine sipping Bourbon served neat. Lights down low of course. Blanton's or Booker's goes well with the warm glow of the Pass Labs meter light on a cold winter night. | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Since I'm rediscovering my vinyl collection that has been in storage for almost a decade, I'm probably better suited for the "CD lovers which turntable do you use?" thread, if there is one.But anyway, I digress. My CD players of choice are my 2 So... | |
| Pass amps: newer xa30.8 or older xa60.5 ? Dave_72, Well I don't see anything in what you described at Reno being a red flag per se. Sometimes discount quotes are only good for a certain limited time as a way to close a deal. They aren't necessarily good for a long time, as inventory and r... |
