| Pass Labs X-1 Preamp Questions: The X-1 is not an overall warm preamp, it is neutral sounding to my ears. The best power cord I tried was the Elrod Sig 3 on it. It added a slightly warmer mid range with a little more body. I never felt the bass was less than solid in fact I foun... | |

| What is meant by the term "B stock"? It took me about 2-3 months to get my Sony SCD-777ES SACD player refunded from Sony. You have two options with Sony, if the item is a current item, they will replace it with a new one free of charge, option 2 is if the item is no longer in product... | |
| FedEx, and HELL VTL to the rescue Yep the good old FedEx shipping label lets you put multiple items going to different locations. Big dumb me asked, are you sure this will work, the items are going to two different places in different states. Yep, I was told, so now you know the r... | |
| Amperex 6922 white labels with counterpoint SA 3 Tried them on he SA-5000 in the preamp line stage section over the Amperex Bugle Boys and Orange Globes. The 6922s were more open sounding, not as warm and lush sounding, more dynamic and better balanced. Don't have a phono to test what you are as... | |
| CAL Alpha burned down:what's next upgrade? I emailed RX8man who used to own the CAL Alpha DAC and used it with a CEC TL-2X transport. I sent him my Audio Logic 34 DAC and he sold the Alpha the next day and bought another 34 DAC here on Agon at that time. The used Alpha DACs are around $400... | |
| Chord 64, ECD-1, Audio Logic, Dodson DAC opinions I also compared the Benchmark, Birdland and Wavelength DACs to the ones I mention above and although these are very good, they IMHO did not offer the same sonics as the AL or Chord. I also tried a preamp by the person who mods the Benchmark and wh... | |
| "only one shot" AR VT-100 MII over the MKIII. The other amps don't really compete IMO.Happy Listening. | |
| Chord 64, ECD-1, Audio Logic, Dodson DAC opinions I had the following DACs in my system. I slightly preferred the Chord 64 to the Audio Logic but I did not get a chance to experiment with NOS tubes in the AL. I thought the ECD-1 was the biggest bang for the buck using my Sony SCD-777ES as a trans... | |
| 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... |
