| What is most important part of a system? To me it is speakers that the most most important, followed by the room. Good digital sources are easy to come by. I've heard the mantra 'rubbish in, rubbish out' but the fallacy, or rather irrelevance, of that is for amplifiers: 'rubbish amplifi... | |

| Supra ply 3.4 vs classic 6.0 Agree with chrisr. As a generality a heavier gauge is better but there comes a point where there is no longer any benefit. How long are your speaker cables? | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers So, when I look at a speaker with an 8 ohm rating, it is easier to drive than a speaker with a 4 ohm load. This does not make sense to me, although I know it to be true. I have yet been able to have it explained to me that makes it clear. Can s... | |

| Pass Labs 150.8 and XP-20 versus PrimaLuna Dialogue Premier HP integrated The Pass Labs .8 series are truly excellent amps. I have a friend who has the 60.8. I would go with a used Audio Research Ref 5se for the preamp. IMHO it is better than the XP 20. And ARC Ref preamps work really well with Pass amps. A little ... | |
| Anthem 225 integrated: Anyone knows anything ? All the positive reviews of the Anthem are in the context of its price. I have had one and I found it was pretty decent, but not great, at mid and high volumes. At low volumes - lifeless. I have had Cambridge Audio and that was similar. I did ... | |
| Pass Labs amps questions I agree. My Pass amps were definitely at a higher level than Pass preamps I've owned. But you don't give an alternative. If not Pass or ARC, what preamps do you like with Pass amps? I like tubes somewhere in the system. I use an Ayon Pre with my... | |
| Pass Labs amps questions I'm running a X150.8 in a room that is 13 feet by about 20 feet. It could fill a much larger room without breaking into a sweat. | |
| The dumbest stereo experience ever! Call him back. If his wife answers leave her a message offering 8 grand for it back and for her to have him call you. Remind her of the shoe sale this weekend in her area. Then don't answer your phone. Now that is what I call Creative Problem S... | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K I would not be able to go past the new Technics 1200G. Torque to die for, iconic looks (if that matters) and not to difficult to put on an aftermarket arm if you sooner or later want to upgrade. | |
| Pass Labs XA200.5 There are four price levels and they all have their proper place. 1. Cheap (will work and I would not worry if I had cheap). 2. Mid-price (excellent stuff here - basically the place to be). 3. Expensive. (Less value but still very much worth it ... | |
| What tonearm will better mine? One tweak that I have found to be very worthwhile with my 750D has been the Ammonite Acoustics mounting collar, which eliminates the slight slop in the OEM collar and ensures correct positioning of the arm as it relates to azimuth. Very importan... | |
| Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32? I view speakers and power amps as a single unit. The amp drives the speakers - so most certainly the issue could be with the amp. It is possible but less likely to be earlier in the chain. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, it to ide... | |
