| Cary Audio SLP-05 or Conrad Johnson ET7 S2 never heard the CJ but have been enamored with my SLP 05 for almost a year. the Cary is warm, smooth, ultra refined and detailed with great dynamics and a crazy deep and wide sound stage. it has adjustable gain which comes in handy, a two box ey... | |

| Pass XA 25 versus Parasound A21+ - anyone compare? sounding even better after 8 days.... | |
| Which amp would you choose and why - Pass Labs XA-25 or First Watt F8? i have an xa25 that is coming into its own after a week and there are moments of absolute brilliance. power and drive with my 86db Harbeths is more than adequate. Also running a Cary tube preamp. | |
| Tube Amp recommendations to drive Klipsch Forte III Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum iii is an excellent sounding match with the Forte Iii. They really wake up with more power than the typical tube amp and the Rogue gets it done with its 100 Watts per channel. Tunes up extraordinarily well with some NOS ... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? Whether DAC or new player the question is what makes them sound better than your modest unit? Answer: Internal analog amplification circuit, power supply and filtering capacitors. Look under the hood. I have a Marantz SA8005 SACD player and if you... | |

| Pass XA 25 versus Parasound A21+ - anyone compare? @voodoochillin thanks, i am hopeful the same will happen or back it goes and i keep the parasound. | |
| Pass XA 25 versus Parasound A21+ - anyone compare? @bobbydd Excellent info, thanks. I thought it appropriate that I continue the thread as I have lived with an a21+ for the better part of a year and now have the Pass Labs XA25 to compare. So far the a21+ sounds much better in my system but the ... | |
| Pass XA 25 versus Parasound A21+ - anyone compare? FYI the overall tone of the XA25 is neutral, not lean. Bass is excellent. My issue is that it does not sound as refined in the upper midrange lower trebpe as i think it should, or as the a21+ does.this is with my 86db 6 ohm Harbeths. If it smoo... | |
| Pass XA 25 versus Parasound A21+ - anyone compare? thanks, yes it is new. being patient is key at the moment i guess. | |
| Pass XA 25 versus Parasound A21+ - anyone compare? Just received a pass XA25 and have it running for a solid 24 hrs. I will be comparing to my Parasound a21+ that has matured well in my system for several months. So far the XA25 sounds grainy and edgy in the upper midrange and lower treble. The a2... | |
