| Review: Pass Labs X-1 Preamplifier I had the complete opposite experience with the X-1, while it did not provide some of the lushness with SOME tube amps I tired, I did find the voices had the cavity & chest resonance in my system, maybe too much on come CDs. It was one of the ... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 vs Sony SCD-1, 777 etc The Benchmark offered a slightly different sonic presentation using it with my Sony SCD-777ES. I think there is a company that mods the DAC and makes it very competitive. I would call the sonics combined with the Sony better in most areas but not ... | |
| Has anyone tried vibrapods with the Sony XA777ES Get a samll bike innertube 12-14 inches and try it under your Sony CDP to see if you like the way it sounds. If you hear an improvement that you like, email me and I will tell you how to build a base with the innertube that will improve the sound ... | |
| CD player - new generation? Doesn't the Chord DAC offer 64 bits? I had it in my system and thought it was great but not the bomb. | |
| Talon Raven C or Khorus? Bhouser is correct. There was a reviewer who didn't know that and I told him that there was no way to get that kind of bass with a single 10" woofer. He found out I was correct after the review.The Khorus has a larger cab and is heavier so that ca... | |
| Isolation question. Monitor on Subwoofer TomI did not take your response that way at all! This is what works in my system and worth a try since you can do it cheap. Threads are meant to pass along good information to other members so they can become educated and get their system to sound... | |
| Isolation question. Monitor on Subwoofer Here is the design information on what I am offering:Vibration robs your system of dynamics and detail, pace and general accuracy. It is everywhere even when your speakers are not creating their own and feeding it back to your equipment via your f... | |
| Isolation question. Monitor on Subwoofer Tom, maybe but so far in my system and a few other systems, this works for us. It is cheap and easy to find out if it works in a system.Peter | |
| Isolation question. Monitor on Subwoofer Slappy I have your total solution. First get spikes on the bottowm of the subs and put bags of lead shoot (many) to get them almost bolted to the floor. Get a slab of wood 2" thick and get PVC pipe and glue them to the bottom of the slab in each c... | |
| Talon Raven C or Khorus? With the ceramic tweeter, the matching of associated equipment is critical IMO. I tried a few different amps before I found a few that really made my Raven C speakers really sing. They are extremely fast, dynamic, with extended bass and detail. Th... | |
| Talon Raven C or Khorus? IMO the Raven C sounded better to me then did the original Khorus speaker. Never compared them to the newer version.Happy Listening. | |
| Tubes for Sonic Frontiers Line 2SE Try some cheap Amperex 6dj8 Bugle Boys or world logo tubes, next up would be the goldpins but they are $$$$. | |
| Recommendations for "pure class a" amp under 1K Kinergetics KBA-75 was a real nice amp and can be had for around $500 if you can find one. It bettered some of the higher priced amps in my system. Sweet mid range with nice extended bass. Has a built in fan so it runs as cool as a class A amp can... | |
| Line Condition /Pwr Protection on Mono Block amps? Bhouser is correct about leaving the Pass Labs amps on all the time, the sonics do really change when you turn them off. I had an X-250 and left it on at all times even when I went on vacation. I haven't tried a hydra yet but use the Elord Sig 3 p... | |
| Tubes for Counterpoint 3 Try Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8s very smooth and sweet sounding.Look on AA under FAQs and read Joe's Tube Lore for more info on 6DJ8 tubes. He is pretty accurate with what they sound like.Happy Listening. |
