| Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else I'm with @unsound. This conversation is not worthwhile if you're changing speakers. System synergy is the critical factor. I've heard gear sound terrible on one system and spectacular on another. Once you buy new speakers, start a new thread a... | |
| Visual Confirmation Bias @thecarpathian In that demonstration, a visual stimulus creates an expectation that alters your auditory perception. That is the conversation at it's most basic. The "word-forming apparatus" creates the expectation and the ears follow. I could c... | |
| Visual Confirmation Bias If you believe you are immune from this effect, you can have your susceptibility demonstrated via a quick 1.5 minute youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k8fHR9jKVM | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? @clearthinker Regardless of absolute necessity to hear the products yourself (in your own system at some point), I think the thread continues to provide very good information about the single driver approach. I've learned about some brands. Supe... | |
| DAC finalist please help @jjss49 Agreed on both accounts.Congrats to the OP on your purchase, glad it's working out. Always nice to hear about a new product, thanks.Have to disagree on the Audio Mirror criticism though. I have opened my Tubadour to put in solid core silve... | |
| What 50wpc or higher amps have a totally different sound from Pass Labs, in a good way? A pair of Atma-sphere M60s would be a different, high quality, approach. Tube, OTL, balanced. | |
| Can I use my Allnic L3000 preamp with headphone amp? Always appreciate the updates. Thanks. Glad it worked out.You might also try running the Woo fully open (@ 100% volume) and doing all attenuation with the Allnic. The Allnic almost certainly has a better quality VC mechanism, so you might want it ... | |
| Holographic, 3D Solid State Amp under $6k Also @unsound makes a very good point. The *only* reason to be concerned about the gain level on your pre-amp is if you can't make the volume loud enough. In a perfect world, you'd be using the preamp with the VC at 100%/full throttle. This pro... | |
| Holographic, 3D Solid State Amp under $6k Agreed with the many posts here. With MIT cables and Pass amplifiers, my XLRs locked in and wouldn't move at all. Shame on your dealer for claiming that was normal (you should name them so others can avoid). You should not have had to pay a rest... | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? According to their published specifications, Cube Audio’s 10" driver is flat to 30hz: https://www.cubeaudio.eu/cube-audio-f10-neo (but does drop off at the top end above 10k) | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Hard to say about the investment value, but I personally found the May much more compelling than the PS Audio DSD. The only thing I preferred with the PSA was being able to use the Bridge II input, but that concern doesn't apply to you. | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? Great thread. I'm looking forward to hearing about more user experiences with different brands/approaches. | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO @c_avila1 Congrats! Exactly the outcome we all hope for, but so few actually achieve. | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? I'm interested in Cube Audio's cheating version. Full range with subs with an 80/100Hz crossover. I might build a version of it for myself. You can buy the drivers and put them in a sealed box for under $5500 total cost. Then I'd use the 2 x 1... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options @agdproduction I’m not in the market for new amplifiers, but I’d happily do a home demo and report about my experience! You can see my current equipment on my systems page... |
