| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss Also, my speakers are bright (Accutron ceramic tweeters), and I have not found any of my pass products bright or harsh. I also used an int30a on Thiel 2.4s (bright aluminum tweeters) and found it an intoxicatingly beautiful combination. | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss I have Coincident PRE’s and have used Coincident Frankenstein 300bs, Atma-Sphere M60’s, a lyngdorf tdai-3400, pass labs xa25, and first watt f4s on them. In this system, the first watt f4s are the best of the bunch. Extended, clean, lightly sweet ... | |
| Atma-sphere Updates Another positive vote. Thanks for the contributions Ralph. | |

| Get your First Watt SIT-3 now? For people who might be interested in building a DIY version of the SIT-3: https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pass-labs/326536-sissysit.html. As @atmasphere points out, even the NOS V-FETS are in low supply, but still available. | |
| Best budget streamer on the market now? @uberwaltz If your only issue is the bubbleUPNP app crashing on your phone, you might look into getting an old used tablet or something to use instead. I use an old samsung tablet and don't think I've had the app crash in over two years. Same si... | |
| PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR From one of the more useful comments on the PSA site (I do think that thread was worth reading. In terms of context, it appears most of the response to the review is that the measurements are mostly "bad" because of the DSD's high noise floor, ... | |
| Cables of the past - which still rock? It's worth trying duelund 16 or 12ga tinned copper in oiled cotton. They're Western electric wire copies, but supposedly better. Cheap and really well reviewed... Used by lots of people around these parts (just search) and Jim Smith of "get bette... | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil @imhififan Yeah, no idea at all. I didn't really believe it until I experienced it. Loved the caps for the first few days and then the bass just receded. I switched over to the normal Supremes and it was back. | |
| RMAF 2019! The a line goes between Union station and the airport, so you can stop at the resort/hotel from either direction. | |
| RMAF 2019! Also, I read this on the hotel's website, making it even more convenient to stay downtown. You can just take the train from Union station to the venue..."RTD A-Line: Take the A-Line from the airport to the 61st and Pena Station; a free shuttle is ... | |
| RMAF 2019! I belong to the Colorado audio club (new this year), and I know the organizers had a ton of frustrations with the venue as well. Lots of trouble getting anyone to cooperate. Hopefully things will be smoother next year. | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil @ricgoretti. If you look at my system pictures, you can see the Mundorfs in there, they're not large. I think they're 2uf, plenty of room. And despite some of the criticisms, I really do enjoy them. Especially if you've got a system that images ni... | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil @grannyring and yes, definitely putting some Duelund's in. Unfortunately I didn't know my amp's input impedance was modifiable... I actually have to re-buy the exact same caps I sold you. It's been fun learning about building/modifying equipment. ... | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil @atmasphere Thanks Ralph, I've just been cheating by using the calculator at vh audio (https://www.v-cap.com/coupling-capacitor-calculator.php). Fortunately because the pre is basically an advanced kit, I do have some ideas of what range is normal... |
