Pass Lab X250 or X350? Which one sounds better?
Hard to add anything to Chichiuno's comments. He summed it up pretty well. Both amps are excellent. 
Used Pass 600monos or Rowland 8TiHC?
I just bought a pair of Pass X-600's. They are the best amplifiers I have ever owned. They are a significant improvement over my previous amps, the Pass Aleph 1.2 monoblocks in all areas with the exception of the midrange. In that area, I give the... 
Does anyone own the Pass Labs X1 preamp?
How expensive is the Spectral DMC30S? 
Does anyone own the Pass Labs X1 preamp?
The Absolute Sound's Tony Cordesman did a review of the X-1 and the XOno phono stage awhile back. He found the X-1 to almost as good as its big brother, the X0. A friend has an X1 and is is not thin in the midrange at all. We have compared his X1 ... 
Pass Labs D1 or Wadia 8xx with Huntley Upgrade??
Actually, the D-1, while currently out of production, is an exceptionally good digital product. I would make sure it does have the 24/96 board in it though. 
Are Nordost really the Rolls Royce of cables?
Deshapiro, Sorry about that. Brain moving faster than my fingers on the keyboard.

Best used amp 6K;Gamut,Gryphon Krell ..
Repairs on the Aleph's are easy. Nelson Pass has published the schematics for the amps and parts are easy to come by. It is also my understanding that the factory still supports them. 
UPS ??? Do they ever pay a claim???
Karls, I am going by what UPS told me is required to get them to honor a claim. Am passing on what I was told by a senior person at UPS. 
UPS ??? Do they ever pay a claim???
UPS is usually very strict about electronic equipment being packed in its original containers for the insurance to cover it. They also told me that if an item has been shipped more than 2 times already go ahead and get new packing materials as it ... 
Tubelike solid state: Ayre Vs Aleph
The recommendation of the new Pass XA-200 is a good one I would imagine. The only drawback I can see to that amp is the $28,000.00 price tag which puts them out of reach for most of us. 
pass aleph 1.2-speakers to pair w/; 4-6,000
I have used a pair of Aleph 1.2's with the Watt/Puppy 5.1 for several years and it is a very synergistic match. The 2 may be better but the 1.2's do work quite well with the Wilson's. Don't rule the combination out until you have tried it for your...

I was under the impression that Sigfried had severed his ties with AA several years ago. 
Anyone heard the Pass x.2.5?
With the introduction of the X0.2, the gap between it and the X-1 has become much greater.
