| Looking for the right interconnect Try the Shunyata ICs lsit for $650, probably get them for 30% off. I hear they are now the best cable for the price. | |
| To biwire or not to biwire...? The Audience manufacturer has a very good article on why not to bi-wire. And Robert at Acoustic Zen does not bi-wire his own system which includes the B&W 801 speakers. | |
| What is the sweetest sounding tube amp. Quick Silver amps. | |
| Best hi-fi salon 'round Galen Carol Audio in Texas. | |
| What speakers with Aloia power amps? I know a guy who was using the Talon Khorus X speakers with great results. | |
| Class A and B differences? I am not saying that the Pass does not sound good and maybe I should not expect more than a 10-15% improvement. I just WANTED to be so blown away that I had no other option but to buck up the $$$. I am hearing a very refined amp with the Pass, ver... | |
| Class A and B differences? Thanks for the responses but in general I was referring to amp ratings by reviewer ratings and not the class A or A/B. My question still remians, if my Kinergetics amp was rated by Stereophile 10 years ago as a B rated component and the Pass X-250... | |
| Do isolation devices really help? Yes, under your CD player try the Daruma's 80% of the Aurious or Symposium roller blocks. You can find a dealer or manufacturer who will offer in home trials.No brainer. | |
| CAT or BAT???? Try the BAT 51SE or the 31SE first. Or my fav the First Sound Presence preamp. | |
| Class A amplifier choice, need suggestions The Kinergetics KBA-75 may be the best value in this area, they can be had for $500-$650 and while not the best of the bunch here, are cheap for a starting point.BigkidZ | |
| Your Favorite Austin City Limits By far, the Danny Gatton one. SVR is cool too! | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Asa and Unsound, B&W speakers in general do not mate well with tube amps. Mostly the speakers require a high current amp (not wpc but current) to make them open up and sing. See the Enjoy the music review of the Pass X-250 amp where they feel ... | |
| Why bi-wiring is bad I was going to purchase the Acoustic Zen Halogram speaker cables and called them. Robert told me that he prefers the single wire with jumpers on his system. That was good enough for me, even though I was bi-wiring with my old cables. I am waiting ... | |
| Pass X-250 or McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe Thanks for all of your responses. I wish that I could audition the amps in my system but since the McCormack is not a current model, the seller is not interested in sending it to me for a home audition.Everyones comments were well received.Thanks ... | |
| JPS Labs power cables I have the JPS Power AC (not the +) and the digital AC. I compared them to the Anlysis Plus Power Ovl, the TG Audio Silver and the Auddience Power Cord. I prefered the JPS cords. There is a very good review of the Analysis Plus cord in SoundStage ... |
