Review: Pass Labs X-250 Amplifier
The Pass is not digital, but the Spectron Musician II amp that I auditioned with the Pass X-250 is. 
And What Did You Get Your Wife For Christmas?
Guys,I purchased her some nice very expensive perfumes (got it at a discount in NYC versus Macys). She wants a new kitchen in 2003, probably drop $80Gees. I already bought myself a Pass X-250 amp and X-1 preamp here on the gon (placed it all on th... 
Best off the beaten bath x-mas music.....
Merry Axeman has Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, Eirc Johnson, Brian Setzer, etc. Great CD. 
ARC with B&W 801's?
The Matrix series is NOT a good match for tube amps. The crossover desing requires lots of current and they do sound at their best with a high power SS amp, like Krell. I own the matrix 803s and use the Pass X-250 that really makes them sing. 
Question about a Dynaco Stereo 120a
I have a friend who I sold my 120 amp to and it had the schematic. If you need it, let me know and I will see if he can send you a copy.Peterbigkidz@optonline.net

Krell Amps vs others
Plenty used Pass amps X-250 & X-350 here to buy. They sound wonderfull to me. 
Best amp to drive B&W N805's
I have a Kinergetics KBA-75 Class A amp that will blow those amps out of the water.Send me an email if you are interested.Peter

Kenan, what equipment were you runnin with the B&Ws? I have no claiim on any of these speakers but I did hear the 802Ns with an ARC CD-3, LS-25 MKII and Ref II pre and Plinius 102 and they were very fast, detailed and through a hugh sound stag...

Email ANthony Perrotta, he is a dealer for both and honest, carries both.anthonyp@bestweb.netHope this helps.Peter 
Verity Fidelios VERSUS B&W Nautilus 803's
I also agree with the previous responses. I own the 803 matirx and they require a high current amp to make sing. I jsut bought the Pass X-250. The N series is a little less demanding but typically the B&Ws sound better with each upgrade, maybe...

Best SS AMP for B&W nautilus 802
I heard the Plinius 102 on the B&W 802Ns and they sounded very good, with an ARC LS-25 MKII and ARC CD-3 player. I just bought a Pass X-250 to go with my B&W matirx 803 series II and they sound excellent. The Pass was very smooth and refin... 
Another look at directionality in cables
Matrin DeWulf at Bound for Sound just wrote about changing the IC directions to see if you could hear a difference in the sound for better or worse. I have not done it yet but I intend to, hey it does not cost anything right?Happy Listening
