| Solid State Phono Stages @thiefoflight Nice looking specs on the Moon product. I would expect that at three times the price. I'm at the point where my ears just can't hear the difference above a certain level of quality. Cheers. | |
| Solid State Phono Stages @thiefoflight I have the Rega P8 with Alpheta 3 MC cartridge. Hegel H590 into Acoustic Zen speakers. It is dead quiet so I'm not sure what noise others are complaining about. My previous phono stage was the Vertere Acoustics’ Phono-1 MkII. Th... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages I am very happy with the Parasound JC3+ Way below your max budget and while worth a demo. I believe it has all the features you have requested. | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? It's a shame Costco doesn't sell high end audio. Their no question return policy would be terrific in this hobby. 😀 | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? Whenever I read these threads about the value of (type your product of choice here) I think about my own journey towards great sound. If I may, I would throw out this analogy. You wouldn’t notice the difference in the mirror if you have gained a... | |
| Low Level Listening and Distortion @ghdprentice What are saying? Speak up. I can't you over my loud system. 🤣 | |
| Low Level Listening and Distortion Another question is this. Does anyone really enjoy music at "low level". Other than for the sake of backgound noise, I have never been able to enjoy music without enough volume to let the sound open up. Just saying..... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? @raysmtb1 Just because you don't believe in something, doesn't mean it don't work. 🤣 | |
| Madman! Digital vs Vinyl If an LP plays in the forest and there's no one there to hear it, does it still sound better than a CD? Why do people continue to do these silly comparisons? 🤣 | |

| Class-A Amplification and 15 Amp Outlet Watts devided by volts = amp draw. The Pass XA160 you mention draws 600 watts, which equates to 5 amps (600 watt devided by 120 volt power supply). My entire system (Hegel H590 amp) draws less than 2 amps when playing music. You should be fine ... | |
| What is your favorite cover? IMO, to rate as a great cover, the artist has to transform the song in such a way it transends the original. A good examole of this is Sax player Tom Scott with his version of Ode To Billie Joe. Give it a listen and see if you agree. His sax wo... | |
| What is your favorite cover? Ry Cooder's take on Get Rhythm. | |
| Sinatra Box Sets If you don't have it already, I highly recommend the 3 Disc set called Sinatra, The Capitol Years. Considered by many to be the creative peak of his recordings. He had recently been dropped by his lable and Capitol Records signed him, revived hi... | |
| Looking for Blues with High Fidelity Recorded on the Telarc lable, Junior Wells, Come On In This House, and Everybody Getting Some, represent one of the masters of Chicago Blues at his finest. Absolute musts for anyone who loves the blues. Also, Johnny Winter's LP Roots is a classi... |
