| going Pass Labs, do I need "Class A " ? Bondman is correct. Stereophile's measurements of the XA30.5 confirm this...While the XA30.5 may give 30Wpc into 8 ohms in class-A (14.8dBW), the distortion at this power level is low, at 0.015%. The amplifier doesn't actually clip (defined as the... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Thanks for reviving this thread, Tuffy, because I was unaware of this tweak. As a compulsive tweaker, I had to try it. I'm glad I did.It works. At least in my system it does. I didn't actually use plumbing couplers. I molded my own sleeves out of ... | |
| dedicated power line for audio equipment Btw, I meant that running dedicated lines is a good idea, not running a 30 amp line.bc | |
| dedicated power line for audio equipment It's a good idea. There's lots of useful information about this topic in the archives.For my dedicated line, I recently changed from standard 12 gauge Romex to VH Audio's 10 gauge cryo'd Romex, and it sounds better, IMO.Bryon | |
| going Pass Labs, do I need "Class A " ? I've owned two Pass amps, previously the X250.5 and currently the XA30.5. Their differences may be similar to the differences between the X350.5 and the XA60.5.In my system, the X250.5 had somewhat better bass than the XA30.5. The XA30.5's bass is... | |
| why do we argue? Thank you, Dan, for your apology. You are a gentleman. I too apologize-- for my first post yesterday. I hope there are no hard feelings.The upside: We've provided a good demonstration of how to avert an argument. No small feat on a topic like this... | |
| More power for better sound at low volumes? Here's my best guess at how to get a satisfying listening experience at low volumes, in roughly descending order of importance...1. Protect your hearing.2. Make the room dead quiet. 3. Make the system dead quiet.4. Sit closer to the speakers.5. Li... | |
| why do we argue? 06-20-12: Dan_edYou guys are proving my point. There is not even a subject to this thread, and yet you want to argue when someone doesn't react the way you want.Sorry to argue the point, Dan, but that's not what happened. In fact, that's the OPPOS... | |
| why do we argue? 06-20-12: Dan_edIt is funny to watch how some get so serious, and others don't.I see, Dan. I should lighten up. I shouldn't take things so seriously. My apologies. I didnt realize there was a moratorium on serious questions and serious answers. U... | |
| XLR cables for high-end multichannel system 06-20-12: Djruss27Bryon - which particular cables from the Morrow line did you have in mind?I'm currently using the MA3's and I'm very happy with them. I have a friend using the same interconnects (balanced) in his system and he too is happy. I al... | |
| Any new tweaks out there? 06-19-12: Csontos...why not just eliminate the IEC and go directly to the board and thus eliminate all the other issues associated with this imo, stupid idea in the first place? The video itself shows this.Sounds interesting. Can you post a link t... | |
| why do we argue? Why does it bother you, Dan?Bryon | |
| Any new tweaks out there? 06-19-12: MechansI have used a combination of a memory foam pillow with a board on top to allow for ventilation and leveling.That is clever, Mechans. 06-17-12: CsontosFor instance, I'm sure many of us have noticed the the skimpy 12-14awg leads on ... | |
| XLR cables for high-end multichannel system I'm familiar with your speakers and your amp. I've owned multiple interconnects from Audioquest and Kimber, but not Acoustic Zen.You might consider something like Morrow. I've owned several interconnects in the ~$2K range from big manufacturers, a... | |
| why do we argue? Lacee - I see that you're asking the question sincerely, but I don't think the question has an answer. Or it doesn't have a SINGLE answer. Motives for arguments are as diverse as the circumstances that create them and the people who participate in... |
