| Pass Then vs. Pass Now Agreed that the F6 is a different model than the XA30 but I disagree about the relevance of who builds it. When the important parts and design are identical I would expect the resulting performance to be too. | |
| Pleasurably better, not measurably better I like the food analogy. Consider predicting how people will react to a dish by measuring the pH, thickness, saltiness, sweetness. Characterizing the food by single parameters is almost hopeless. So you have the characteristics of a mixture and ... | |
| Pass Then vs. Pass Now I have not heard the bigger commercial Pass amps but I just changed over for the season from my Rogue Sphinx v2 to my DIY Pass F6. Despite their very different topologies,Class D with tubes, Class A, they have more in common than different. Mainly... | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? Let’s see now, hi-fi in a noisy, piece of crap, gas guzzling vehicle. Yep the marketing plan seems as well thought out as everything else about the Jeep. | |
| Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier? Guess what? You can have it both ways. Precision from your Benchmark can be colored with euphonic tube like distortion on the days you want it for just a few bucks and a little soldering. | |

| Cable design is a lot like creating a pizza @rodman99999 I have no doubt that there are many using cables as tone controls, which simply goes to show: cables CAN/DO make a difference in reproduction. However: everyone I know that uses high-end cables, regardless of position in ... | |

| Any fans of Ken Peplowski here? Hope you like him. I agree, smooth swing is his thing. But his recordings are also technically right too which adds a lot to the experience. | |
| Why not? @soix and @holmz Funny story about that. A friend lent me a pair of MIT Terminator2 speaker cables. I put them in my system, replacing some Crutchfield generic cables, and was amazed! Clarity, texture! I was so smitten I bought a pair of MIT Term... | |
| Why not? I had a feeling that you would misconstrued my response. I hate to make assumptions but you seem to lobby for guys who are, 1) Too lazy to take the time to compare power cords, 2) Too cheap to pony up money for a decent power cord If you are ... | |
| Why not? So we had a few additions and corrections, here is the current summary of this thread, thanks to all contributors: Audio manufacturers who include or recommend high end cables with their equipment Burmester Audio Note PS Audio. They recommend Au... | |
| Why not? If I may @ghdprentice you commented earlier on that this problem had occurred to you as well. You have spent a lot more time and money than me in the pursuit of sonic excellence and I think you said in another thread that you had been in the tech... | |
| Why not? @roxy54 i’m not sure which statement you are referring to. | |
| Why not? @chocaholic and @jasonbourne52 You both raise good points that make me think we should also include manufacturers on this list who affirmatively state that there will be no significant improvement in the performance of their product with anything... |
