| sonic frontiers line-3 vs pass labs x-1 Two completely differentsounds. The X-1 is very neutral and dynamic but not really a warm sounding preamp. The SF has the tube qualities but will loose a little bass slam compared to the Pass IMHO. | |
| Pass X-350 vs Sim Audio W-5 There are plenty reviews of the X-250 and the 350 will give you slightly better bass slam and dynamics. The W-5 is a very good amp and will sound slightly quicker. The Pass a a very refined sound that has a silky or golden glow to the music and it... | |
| Kinergetics KBA 380 / Angstrom 100 pro/pre HT exp. I have and compared the KBA-75 to many amps, Rowland M-112, Krell KAV-2250, Pass X-250, Spectron Musician II, Linar Audio, etc. The Kinergeitcs held its own pretty well where I did not feel that I was loosing that much and in some cases the Kinner... | |
| Compare EDGE NL10, Pass Labs X350, ML 336 I just finished comparing the NL-10 to the Pass X-250. I agree with Mike's Levinson commnets and most of his description of the Edge NL-10. I did not find the Edge to be more detailed than the Pass X-250, it did have slightly better bass, was clea... | |
| Review: Audio Logic 2400 DA converter RcpeinceThanks for the update. You mention something about Jerry and the Altis DAC. What is the difference between this DAC and the Audio Logic?Thanks | |
| Cartridge suggestions for around 2K http://www.warrengregoire.com/hifi-stereo-phonocartridges.htmTry these. | |
| Does anyone have or used the Edge NL-10 If I were you, I would try some power cords first before upgrading the amp, or try both to see what makes the bigger difference in your system. LOL. | |
| Need opinions on all-in-one or separate dac. I heard Rcprince's modded Sony 777 in direct comparison to my stock 777 in his system a few months ago and posted my findings here on Agon. Go to referenceaudiomods.com for more info on Sony Mods. | |
| Amp, Pre Amp or CD for SF CREMONAS Upgrade the CD player 4 sure. Better sound dtarts there! AMps may sound different but in the same price range there seems to be little overall impact on the sound IMHO. | |
| Accuphase cdp direct guys: The Pass X-250 accepts RCA inputs and I do not feel that I loose anything that significant without the balanced ICs. | |
| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. Yeah but if is wasn't for big ol' Al, we would not be having this thread, remember hhe invented the internet!Go GW and the USA!!! | |
| Tube Preamp w/ Phono to replace Rowland Synergy II I tried the same thing, lokking for a great tube pre with remote. The ones I wanted cost bigger bucks than I wanted to spend and the others like the Hovland, First Sound, Lamm, had no remote. I ended up with the BAT VK-30SE. You may want to try th... | |
| B&W Nautilus 802 vs. ProAc Responce 2.5 Typically the B&Ws work better with High Current amps and mostly SS. I own the matrix 803s and although they are efficient 91 db, they require a lot of juice to make them sing. Hope this helps. Overall I would prefer the N802s to the Pro AC bu... | |
| B&K vs Adcom – opinions please What is your price range? There are better amps for sale here on Agon. For example, look at the Kinergetics KBA-75 amps for sale. I am also going to sell mine if interested. You can get two of these class A amps for $1200 or one for $600 from Katl... | |
| Pass Labs X250 or X350 with Maggie 3.6Rs If I remember correctly, the X-250s are for both Box and non-box type speakers. I think the X-350 since it has no feedback was made for box speakers (or visa versa) call Pass on this. |
