| Which Integrated with Power,Current, and Bass The Krell S300i is the most underrated, underpriced piece of equipment I have ever owned. 150 watts and doubles to 300. Bass and control like a massive mono block. It's good, very good and cheap. | |
| Pass Labs vs Mark Levinson vs Parasound - best 2 channel amp used under $2,500? Ive owned all of what you listed. Look at an NAD M22. Seriously. | |
| Pass x250.8 vs Hegel h4se vs Ayre VX-R Owned the X250.8 and stumbled across an H4SE, so I bought it. I sold the Pass. Hegel was far more authoritative in my system, wider and deeper soundstage, more transparent and still maintained a slight warmth like the Pass. I thought the H4SE was ... | |
| Dated but still A rated DACs Many believe the 63's were the best on standard Redbook, the 1704's only excelled when 24/96 recordings are used. Pass themselves agree with this. I am a HUGE fan of the 1704s and have owned numerous pieces, too many to count, with them. The 63... | |
| Dated but still A rated DACs Pass Labs D1, i havent found anything yet that beats it. | |
| Sony HAP Z1ES or tablet with DAC Auralic aries mini or Auralic Altair | |
| FLAC vs WAV This will be debated as long as digital is in existence. I have limitless storage capability (10TB) and at the time, all I had was time (was in-between jobs). I spent endless hours testing CD rips to see which was better before I ripped my entir... | |
| Pass labs xa30.8 vs Krell evo 402e you need to post all your equipment, including speakers so we can help troubleshoot. The vocals on that amp (XA30.5) should be anything but veiled. | |
| Hegel H4SE is mind blowing Yes to the Morrow cables, still great stuff. For the bass compared to Krell it has significantly better/deeper/tighter and faster than the Krell FPB300cx | |
| Hegel H300 vs Naim Supernait 2 vs Modwright KWI200 Hegel is a sleeper product. I found the H4SE power amp to be a significant upgrade from my Pass X250.8. | |
| Amps under $5k that are resolving at low volumes? There is a Hegel H4SE on Agon right now that will absolutely astound you. It sounds incredible at all volumes and especially low volumes. I went from a Pass X250.8 to this and it is absolutely a significant upgrade from the Pass in all areas, espe... | |
| Pass amps: newer xa30.8 or older xa60.5 ? Can we stop the shameless plugs for Reno in every single Pass thread? Really?There is more than one Pass dealer in the USA. | |
| Pass amps: newer xa30.8 or older xa60.5 ? I second the notion that the .8 is a significant upgrade over the .5 | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? I would be hard pressed to believe Hegel is not as fast. It is very fast. | |
| Beryllium Tweeters 01-10-15: Johnk92db is not high efficiencyDepends on how you define it, but for most anything above 90db is easy to drive. If you are talking about bizarre Omegas and strange speakers that are 100-110 db and thrive on little teeny 3 watt flea amps... |
