| NAD S200 vs Pass Lab x-250 Longho68, what is the rest of your system and what are you trying to improve? IMO I would upgrade the CDP and speakers first before the amp. I did the opposite and now I am looking for speakers to match the X-250. It was one of the best SS amps I ... | |
| Great CDP with No volume control I just was at a dealer who have the Aero Cap and he ran it through a preamp. He told me that he preferred the preamp to not using one. | |
| Spectron Musician II vs. "Big" Tube Amps As you already probably know, Albert S. loves the amp and does use it to voice some of his speakers. That being said, it is a very clean and clear sounding amp but I felt it lacked depth compared to some of the other SS amps. It is not a tube amp ... | |
| Sony's New SACD Player Jeffcott, I am still laughing, thanks!Happy Listening. If you are in the NYC area let me know, I'll buy. | |
| Sony's New SACD Player Trelja is soo right, but speaking of right, can you say modwright? By the time the new Sony hits the market, there will be a few guys/gals already offering ways to improve it and get past the limiting issues just like in aftermarket parts for auto... | |
| Budget balanced IC recommendations Acoustic Zen Matrix ICs. | |
| AZ Satori vs. Audience AU24 I copared the Hologram mono runs to the Audience in my system and found the Holograms moer to my liking. the AZ's had more details and sounded moer refined. Hope this is helpful.Happy Listening. | |
| Madrigal Mark Levinson out of business. Interesting since I was just auditioning Revel F-30s today and the dealer told me that he just received the speakers a few weeks ago and they were ordered in January 2003.Guess I'm not buying a pair! Next! | |
| I am considering the Piega C-8 Limited or the P10. For what it is worth, I heard the the P-5 Ltds with a Pass Labs X-1 preamp, Pass X_250 and Edge NL-10 power amps and Metronome CDP and it sounded really good and not bright at all even juiced up. Very detailed, very dynamic, open and fast.Hope thi... | |
| Pass X250, Classe CAM200 or... I also vote for the Pass especially for the used prices around $3K nothinig touches them in that price range IMHO. Oh yeah, you need to leave the amp on at all times and it really becomes magical. | |
| I am considering the Piega C-8 Limited or the P10. Louis,I am doing the exact same thing. Read all of the reviews, and I am now going out to hear the ones I can but in my case all of these will probably better my B&W matrix 803s to some degree. You need to tells us more about your system SS or... | |
| Pass labs x250 vs Classe CA301 I own the Pass X-250 and have no humming issues whatsoever and I have never heard of any issue with this amp either. The commenst above are correct regrading the sound of the Classe and Pass except that I do not find the Pass analytical sounding a... | |
| BAT VK-60 or Another tube amp? To add more to my post, I am looking to replace my B&W matrix 803s. I guess I chased the SS amp route instead of getting speakers first since the B&Ws needed a high current SS amp to make them sing. I have been looking at Coincident Totals... | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? Marakanetz, I was there a few days ago! They have a very good selection of name brands to choose from but I cannot waste their time because I know I will not buy at their list prices. The sales rep did know alot about each manufacturer but like so... | |
| Find a speaker cable for Pass Labs X250 GO with the Holograms. you can probably get a good discount off of list from dealers on Agon. |
