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. 
Pass X-250 or Sim Audio Moon W-5 to Drive B&W N802
59Burst,Krell amps work fine with B&Ws but you need a very good preamp, my preference would be a tube preamp. I use the Pass X-250 power amp and I have a BAT VK-30SE and a Pass X-1 preamp to drive B&W matrix 803s. I know that the 803s were...
