| Parasound to Pass Upgrade @taylorro if you pick decide on pass amps, go for pass pre. If you want a tube preamp, audio research Ref 5se or 6se should be great paired with Pass amp. | |
| Parasound to Pass Upgrade @ddafoe my room is about the same size as yours. Also no AC. The XA30.8 is not terrible in the summer. I would assume the x260.8 gets as hot as x250.8 and adds another chassis. I am still most likely going to try the X260.8 though. I think my spea... | |
| Bricasti MDX upgrade Cool. I’ll compare. Been using Wide this whole time and never bothered since it sounds pretty awesome. | |
| Parasound to Pass Upgrade @m_j_s thanks! Reason I’m asking is I have a relatively small room and my XA30.8 doesn’t get hot enough to affect it. Worried about having a space heater there as it would suck in summer months… | |
| Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all? @ozzy that’s regular tri traps. Ones I was referring to and what I bought were with range limiter…Based on my listening tests, the description on GIK site is accurate RANGE LIMITER – with a membrane, bass traps absorb even lower frequencies whi... | |
| Bricasti MDX upgrade @hgeifman are you able to hear a difference between fine and wide clock settings? I haven’t done the comparison yet on my M3. | |
| Luxman PD 151 mk 1 or Feickert Volare Add Hana MH to your list of cartridges to consider if you are looking for high output. | |
| Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all? I like these GIK Tri Traps with range limiter so far. Didn’t suck up the bass. Just improved its definition. Ozzy may be these will work with the planars. Worth looking into. | |
| Parasound to Pass Upgrade I’m also curious about the X260.8. One question I would like to add, hopefully not high jacking this thread, is how much heat do the X260.8 amps produce? | |
| amp upgrade Buy a receiver and a center channel speaker. Receivers are cheap now. Use the theater bypass on your cxa80 when watching movies. No way around this with a 2ch amp. | |
| Best way to A/B two different streamers @willywonka so…anything to report? Winner? No difference? | |
| Ethernet opinions @adsell nice system! | |
| Ethernet opinions @adsell I’m glad you appreciated the joke. I’ll leave it at that as far as our discussion is concerned. | |
| Ethernet opinions @adsell I don’t use castaway cables from my data center. They periodically yell out “Wilson!!!” And that distracts my speakers. | |
| Ethernet opinions I’ve actually gone back and forth the last few days between the Purist and Eno. The Eno just has this silkiness and results in a presentation that is less “digital” and more natural especially in the vocals sibilance without taking away resolution... |
