| Should I modify my Sony s9000es or get a DAC? First off, the mods are better than the stock, how much better than a DAC is the question, and like mentioned above, a DAC will not change SACD. You first need to try out some DACs. The ones that comes to mind in the $1000 range are the Bel Canto ... | |
| What Instrument do You Play? Guitar for 37 years (I own quite a few older Gibsons & Fenders), piano/organ, sax, drums, & harmonica. I play jazz, rock, pop, clasical, blues, etc. I love all types of music only if it moves my soul and provides some emotional impact. It ... | |
| Allman Brothers Band new release 3/18/03 The band is just not the same without Dicky. I will be there at the Beacon in NYC on Sat. March 29th 9th row center because I love their music. It has not been the ssame without Dicky. He just gets to another level when he is playing with them. | |
| Good but not so well known harmonica blues bands. The best blus CD that should have won blues CD of the year a few years ago was Blues Time with Magic Dick and Jay Giles. Yes the J. Giles we all know and love??? He can really play Chicago blues guitar better thatn most out there but nobody ever k... | |
| Speaker Cables Email me and I will let you know my experience with AZ, Shunyata and Audience speaker cables and let you know what I settled on. Also include your equipment. I am not a dealer or anything. | |
| Pass Labs X250 or X350? The X-350 also uses zero feedback and the X-250 uses a little feedback in the design. The X250 is a good all aorund amp that can be used with box or other speaker types and the X-350 should only be used with box type speakers from what I was told.... | |
| Nordost Valhalla - Opinions please First of all, not all cables work in each system. I was just reading where someone was saying that 60% of sound is the room. Brightness can come in many forms, room, speaker placement, cables, and even the CDs you are using, etc. I have tried the ... | |
| Pass Labs Aleph Amps & B&W Nautilus Speakers I have the X-250 with B&W Matrix 803s. The work very well togehter and the amp gets better with every upgrade such as dedicated AC line, better power cords, ICs and speaker wire. You need to leave the amp on all the time for the maximum perfor... | |
| A suitable power match for a pass labs X2 pre? Both series of Pass amps are excellent they just do different things. I would say they are both very natural sounding the Alpha was a little warmer the X series a slighlty more neutral with maybe some better bass control. I own the X-250 with the ... | |
| Blue Circle BC 3.1 galatea? I preferred the First Sound preamp Presence to the BC preamp. Best I can offer you. | |
| Ohms and WPC??? Wanted to add does it matter to the amp if it runs at 8 ohms or 4 ohms??? | |
| Pass X-250 or Sim Audio Moon W-5 to Drive B&W N802 59burst, I just read the thread over and like I said I comapred the W-5 to the Pass X-250 and I own the X-250 now. You are not going to get any more bass out of the Pass than the Sim. What stands do you have on the speakers, speaker cables, speake... | |
| Seeking Great Cool Runnin' SS Amp... The digital amps run the coolist, Spectron, PS Audio, Bel Canto, etc. | |
| Tube Preamps under $10k with deep bass extension First Sound makes some great tube preamps. I had the Lamm LL2 Delx in my system versus the Pass X-1 and the Pass went a little deeper in the Bass (slightly but noticable) but it's a SS preamp. | |
| Power Conditioning for a mid-fi system. Get dedicated lines first before you do all of this. They run about $100-$150 a line and get rid of all those cheap outlets on the power strips. |
