| connection to use between anthemavm20 and cd1 I have an AVM-20 (v2.10), and have tried both digital-in and analog-in from my CD player. In the analog configuration, I set it up to use Analog-Direct mode, NOT the Analog-DSP mode, because I don't want ANY A-to-D & D-to-A conversion going on... | |
| Pre/power Amp Advice Tx, Jshaw004 ... | |
| Pre/power Amp Advice .- Jshaw - I am a bit confused. Could please clarify the statement "Pass Labs basically is not the same league to the others".You make it sound like it is NOT as good as the others, then go on to seemingly recommend Pass products. If your intent w... | |
| Pre/power Amp Advice Well, since nobody has responded so far, I will toss in my 1.5 cents worth.I have a Pass X2.5/X-250 combo, running Talon Ravens from an Audiomeca CD player. This is a fully-balanced configuration, and as it has satisfied so much, I really have no ... | |
| Lost in Speaker Cable Land - $350 Budget I had AP Oval 9's on left, right AND center Martin Logan speakers before upgrading to much more expensive Shunyata Lyras.They are a terrific value given their price, and I totally agree with the other posters' recommendations here. They will add a... | |
| Talon Raven-C Owners please help Richard-I believe you are right about the Ghost cable - it was a predecessor to the Shunyatas, and was designed by the lead engineer and co-founder of Talon, Tierry Budge (though I don't think he is still with Talon).That is one reason I was elate... | |

| Published gain of the Pass X2.5, X1 I currently own Pass X-250 & X-3 amps, and will be receiving a new Pass X2.5 preamp tomorrow, actually.I too have considered tubes in a preamp, but have decided to remain on the fully-balanced SS side since I am already there with the Pass amp... | |
| Published gain of the Pass X2.5, X1 Forgot to add-This preamp uses class A gain stages throughout, again irregardless of input/output type.This is a fully-balanced design, so S-E input signals are converted to balanced internally to allow the common mode noise reduction circuit to b... | |
| Published gain of the Pass X2.5, X1 .Quoting the X2.5 manual:"The gain control toggles between two settings, offset from one another by 10 dB. The up pointing arrow selects +14 dB and the down pointing arrow selects +4 dB. When used with our own X series power amplifiers, which are ... | |
| Any Comments On Bright Star's Isonodes? I have both Isonodes on a BrightStar platform and Vibrapods for other stuff.The Isonodes tend to stick tightly to certain surfaces, making them hard to adjust the position of the equipment without having them pull loose from their mounting. But th... | |
