| Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u Years ago I owned B&W N803 and drove them with Pass X250.5 and Audio Research LS-25 and Ref1 preamps. B&Ws love power and the X250.5 had zero issues driving them. I now have Wilson Sabrina that dip to around 2ohms and have no problems with... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium @ronboco great looking system and room! But Bluesound Node into 866 with Rockports? C’mon man…That’s like topping your Ferrari gas tank off with donkey piss. You’ve got to get that one sorted out. Get a decent streamer for your high-end mid-fi sys... | |
| Anyone tired a Nordost QB4 MK III? I delayed it and regret not having it done earlier. It’s a really nice improvement. I no longer use a power conditioner. Good power cords and upgraded outlets on a dedicated circuit take care of clean power delivery. I highly recommend it. But it’... | |
| Anyone tired a Nordost QB4 MK III? Power conditioner that’s not in the thousands of dollars? If you can, run a dedicated line. | |
| Puritan vs Nordost Power Cable @craig my experience mirrors yours in regards to the PSM156 and the Ultimate cord. I actually preferred the Classic cord on the 156. In the end, after running two dedicated lines, I liked the sound with all of my components direct from the Furutec... | |
| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION Here’s a used Bricasti M3 for $3200. I would exercise extreme caution with a seller who has 0 feedback. Phone conversations , additional pictures proving he owns the DAC, etc. but worth checking out. From my experience, the M3 is a step up from t... | |
| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION kjl1065 OP 12 posts 07-13-2023 at 03:58pm My budget is $3000.00. cool. I had the Qutest and it’s a very nice DAC. I found the tone to be natural with good level of details. May be ever so slightly forward? But nothing too concerning. ... | |

| My turntable sounds like the speed is too slow @dogberry we’ve all done it. When Diana Krall sounds like Thurl Revenscroft, you know you’re playing her 45 rpm record at 33. Hit the speed button or drop the belt onto the second pulley. Depends on turntable. | |

| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? @mahgister lol | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? @emergingsoul have you arrived at this conclusion based on your personal experience? Would you mind sharing? What amps are we talking about? | |
| Pass x260.8 v. Parasound JC1+? XP22 with X260.8 sounds awesome here. | |
| Pass x260.8 v. Parasound JC1+? To me the Pass amps are about natural tone, midrange, dynamics and striking a balance between warmth and instrument separation and details. Midrange with Pass amps is ridiculous. The presentation is never analytical. If you’re looking for an amp t... | |
| Need advice on what to purchase to hold 1TB of music and connect to my new Innuos Pulsar. @grannyring I’m not 100% certain but you might be able to configure Innuous to read that Samsung SSD when it’s connected to a computer on the same network same way you would configure it to read NAS. I did this when I had Auralic Aries G1 and it w... |
