| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy I owned a pair of Pass XA-100.5 amps and went to a 30.8 because of the heat. I have a smallish room and the Pass amps are like space heaters. Something I don't need in Texas in the summer. I went through a plethora of amps including several McInto... | |
| Rotating (not rolling) Tubes Thanks for the reply oldhvymec. You made me think of another question. If I replaced the tubes with better (more expensive matched) tubes, is it okay to just replace the two main tubes? It seems like it would, but as far as I know, power could be ... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money geoggkai, why don't you try a pair before posting as suggested? | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money I have never been a big believer in cables. To make a long story as short as possible, a friend loaned me a pair of Kimber Kable KCAG XLR cables (MSRP $1K/Meter). I replaced my cables (approx. msrp $250/m) and I noticed a huge difference. It was... | |
| TEKTON OWNERS I just picked up a pair of Tekton Mini-Lores. For the price, they are very good. I am curious if the tweeters in the M-Lores can be upgraded to the Audax TW025A28 1" Gold Dome Tweeter that is in the Lore or the tweeter that is in the Lore Refere... | |
| Pass Labs Preamps - New Line Soon? jmc, good point. jafant, no matter how good a component is, they always find ways to make it better. :) Just look at Audio Research - Ref 6 is now out. (I currently own the Ref 5 se and am considering a PL pre to go with my XA-100.5 monoblocks... | |
| Pass Labs Preamps - New Line Soon? I would, but I don't expect I'd get an answer. Theoretically, once a new line is announced, the demand for the old line drys up. I thought there might be some PL gurus here that could make an educated guess based on the age of the existing line ... | |
| Pass Labs XP-10 & XP20 Users Nice to see this tread alive and well. I just upgraded to an ARC Ref 5 SE. Pretty amazing pre, but I don't like the 40 second delay, mute and zero volume. I understand why, but after the delay, couldn't they at least unmute the thing and maybe ... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Liszt - Fad or Future? Lots of great praise for these. I will definitely put them on top of the list when I am ready to upgrade. I have some I need to sell before I can buy anything new. Thanks for all the input. | |
| Vienna Acoustics Liszt - Fad or Future? Thanks for the input. I should have put "Baby" in my OP. Interesting comment Twoleftears, I really like the BG, so I may have to keep an eye out for these. | |
| Dynaudio C1 Nameplate Mattmiller, thanks, that's kind of what I thought. That or maybe they were pre-production samples or demos. | |
| Emotiva UMC-1, Onkyo TX-NR809, or Denon AVR3312CI You don't mention what type processor you are looking for (5.1; 6.1, 7.1, etc.) but since you have the XPA-5 you may want to look at 5.1 pre\pros. Since processors have changed so much in recent years to keep up with changing technology, there are... | |
| How much sand/shot to put in Dynaudio Con 1Stands? Years ago, I did a little coin collecting and amassed over 5,000 Wheat pennies. I also have been throwing my spare change in a bucket for years and have a huge stash of coins. I have been tempted to take them to one of those coin machines where ... | |
| Esoteric MG-10 vs Volent VL-2 vs A. Zen Adagio Jr Liszt, wondering if you ever got the Volents? I've been reading about them and they sound impressive. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be many on the used market. I haven't even found a list of dealers who carry them. Thanks,Ben | |
| dynuaudio c-1s in a small 10x12 room?/amppower? Amater, thanks. It seems every time I find a speaker I really want to try, I find lots of posts about why it won't work for me. A few months ago there was a pair of Harbeth SHL-5's for sale locally and the "consensus" was they would not sound good... |
