I have suggested this to others who had bad synergy with a variety of other amps including Parasound and they were quite pleased with the Mac. The pass XA25 sounds different than... | |
| Help and Advice Needed: Cary Audio SLP-05 Preamp RMA Disaster @joshua43214 For your info I have a Cary SLP-05 and to me the sound is so excellent it is worth making things work for you.

| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) I appreciate the contemporary slightly retro look compared to the Tannoy's bur still think they missed the mark on the styling. I understand the front baffle shape but where it merges with the edges of the enclosure looks abrupt and clumsily int... | |
| Too Much Gain the Issue ? (preamp and amp) @audphile1 thanks! as an update to this thread the sound was decent with my cary slp 05 preamp feeding the pass labs xa30.8 by compensating for the gain missmatch using the single ended outputs and lowering the level controls to aprox 30 perc... | |
