| Vol. Control, TKD Or Dact For Counterpoint Pre ? I am looking for the same info as Rx8man. The TKD attenuator would be the one that is a stereo control and is called the "plastic" one that sells for about $70.00 as the more expensive "stepped" attenuator that sells for about $250 is too big for ... | |
| Pass X-250 and Tube Preamp No not an issue the balanced cables offered a slightly blacker background and slightly better details but that could also be the cable design.Happy Listening. | |
| Tube CDP vs CDP/DAC Combo Try the Audience cable, one of the best I have tried at the used price. I have moved on from the Audience but it cost me up some to get a better sounding cable.Happy Listening. | |
| Do Pass X-Series Preamps Match with X or X.5 Amps? I owned the X-250 and X-1 preamp and they worked really well together. I also came to realize that the X-1 was a really good preamp versus a bunch of others that I tired. I also found that the X-250 worked well with any active preamp I tried tube ... | |

| Tube CDP vs CDP/DAC Combo Dave,What digital cable are you using? You won't get the full potential out of any DAC without a good digital cable. I have tired a few in the $150 - $300 used price range and can tell you that stepping up to a better cable made a bigger differenc... | |
| Which is better - S/PDIF Coaxial or AES/EBU Depends on the sound of the DAC. I use an Audio Logic DAC, the XLR is more detailed but the RCA is more emotional. So depending on what you prefer is the way to go with this particular DAC.Happy Listening. | |
| Markering of CD Edges I agree with Rcprince. No loss of info that I have heard. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't make any improvement, I think the edges have something to do with it, some are smooth and some are not.Try it for yourself.Happy Listening | |
| Man, am i losing my hearing? Ah, horsepower does corrupt the soul! I remember when I had the SS tricked all out, man she could fly. Those were the good ol' days 4 sure. My next door neighbor has a V-12 Ferrari and a V-12 Maserati, man they are like being in a rocket ship, giv... | |
| New Midrange vs. Older High-End CD Transports I tried six different transports a while back and found that the digital cable was the biggest improvement over the transports. What cable are you using? | |

| Help...Need a New Amp After plugging in an old Counterpoint amp a few months back, I'd have to say go find a good used one and enjoy music. It was eye opening to me that a 20 year old design could sound as good as it did. There were a few NP-200s here on Agon going for... | |
| VR4 Gen1 + DNA-125 or HCA-2? I bought my first Counterpoint Amp a while back and sold it to a guy a few years ago with the VR-4s. It sounded so good that I wanted to buy the VR-4s. SA-220 or NP-200 amps are hybrid designs with upgrade paths.Happy Listening. |
