| Cardas Power Cords / Furutech vs Cardas Terminations I think Cardas used to use a more similar clamshell designed Furutech connector which are similar to the ones they use now with their brand name. Not sure if Cardas actually makes them in house or Furutech makes them for Cardas. I'd be surprised i... | |
| Power cables for PassLabs preamp and poweramp Henrycai. Have not tried WyWires IC's or speaker cables; only the PC which is a great cable. I am so happy with my Clear Day Cables that I use for IC's - both single and balanced, and double shotgun speaker cables with their jumpers I have no desi... | |
| Power cables for PassLabs preamp and poweramp Congratulations. You'll love the WyWires. Stick with the WyWires and don't look back at the Kimber's. The Kimber's a fine PC but the WyWires digs deeper at both ends, and a wider stage. I use both and had the Kimber's first; very latest PK10 Golds... | |
| Power cables for PassLabs preamp and poweramp WyWires Silver Juice IIKimber PK10 Gold Those are what I use and sound great on both Pass and ModWright. | |
| Preamp upgrade opinion... Telos. No the ModWright does not at all lack bass. It's a great preamp that is not at all thin, overly tubey or a wimp. I spoke to Pass when I was looking for a new preamp and they strongly cautioned me using a singled ended preamp on the X250; I ... | |
| New amp for Vandersteen 2CE You started with the Pass Aleph 5 so guessing you know of one that's in your price point. I'd go for the Pass; it's a great amp and it will not be outclassed by your Vandy's which are nice speakers. I know both products having owned the 2CE's and ... | |
| Preamp upgrade opinion... Meant Pass XP10... not X10 | |
| Preamp upgrade opinion... I have a Pass X250. I used to have a MW SWL 9.0 SE and I really liked that pre but being singled ended was a little too noisy on the Pass. You're pass wants to run balanced so I would caution not sticking with a balanced preamp. I moved up to a MW... | |
| Help with Cable selection Not familiar with your AQ Big Surs but know the Kimbers well. Used to own the 4TC and it is a good cable. I like Kimber and was the one that got one of the local shops to pick them up some twenty years ago and they still carry them. I have a coupl... | |
| best remote preamp for McCormack amp For what the SF Line 1 goes for that's a hard one to beat. The ModWright SWL 9.0 SE has a little better PRAT. Built quality on both are great. The remote on the SF does more; the MW remote only does the volume but it's a really nice sounding pream... | |
| from ARC to Pass ? http://www.cryoset.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=415&osCsid=95ddfef4fdc1d211879793363...Sticking to the components you started the post with. No doubt the Pass is a more refined amp than your current ARC amp. Maybe just upgrade one ... | |
| from ARC to Pass ? As mentioned in my previous post you might want to try your LS25MKII with the X150.5. After I purchased my MW LS36.5 I pulled out the stock Sovtek's and went with EH 6H300Pi's from Cryoset Certified which really opened things up; highly recommend ... | |
| from ARC to Pass ? If you can try it first do, if that is not an option go ahead and buy it but keep your ARC pieces so you can compare and sell off what you don't like because it could be a combination of the two brands which do work well together. I have a Pass X2... | |
| Speaker Cable trial Another very satisfied customer. Using double shotgun along with Pauls jumpers with his single and balanced IC's throughout. No desire to switch. I wish Paul would build me a phono cable for my TT but he won't. The IC's are very good as well; espe... | |
| Consideration of amp change Wish one could edit their text after posting. Old eyes and fat fingers on an iPhone. Third time on spelling - ModWright. |
