| Ching Cheng Power Cords I'm not saying it's impossible that power cords matter, just that their argument makes sense, and given limited funds, I'm happy to settle on an adequate product. The Ching Cheng power cords are not only less expensive than the cheapest audiophile... | |
| Ching Cheng Power Cords Thanks for the various "real" suggestions. And yes, I did use google... if you look at the actual results from Bill_k's helpful link, there are only 16 power cords almost all of which are used and none of which are under 18 gauge. In any case, I e... | |
| Mcintosh mc601 vs Pass Labs XA 100.8 Sorry if you've already read this in some other posts, but I have some experience comparing these two brands (but not the models, so YMMV). I compared the MC402 to Pass Labs x250.5 and xa30.5. On my Thiel 2.4s the Pass amps easily outclassed the s... | |
| Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8 Tomcy6: Thanks for the details, as I said, I haven't personally compared, so that's good information. | |
| Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8 I own a 30.5 and have been following all comparisons between the two models since the introduction of the .8 series. My summary impression is that they are different, not that one is better. That seems to fit pretty well the message implicit in Ne... | |
| Speaker suggestions - Pass XA30.5 $3500 Jafant: Any thoughts on the Aerial Acoustics Model 6T? | |
| Speaker suggestions - Pass XA30.5 $3500 Also, any opinions on Coincident speakers? There's a pair of Super Eclipse III's in the price range. I've read both good and bad (and aware that the Pass is overkill for their level of efficiency)... | |
| Speaker suggestions - Pass XA30.5 $3500 Brauser: Do Dunlavys happen to use "generic" drivers? I'm a little concerned about purchases from defunct companies since there's no way to return the speaker to stock if the a driver fails. | |
| Speaker suggestions - Pass XA30.5 $3500 Oilmanmojo: I see that there are various AP's up on Agon, some of which are MKI and others are MKII, and the current line is 25. I realize they make a lot of different speakers, any elaborations on the general differences across generations? | |
| Speaker suggestions - Pass XA30.5 $3500 Thanks for all the suggestions folks. Please do keep them coming. | |
| How important is the transport when using a DAC? Are you ripping with Exact Audio Copy using the bit-perfect secure options?http://blowfish.be/eac/Setup/setup1.htmlI've accidentally made rips without using these settings, and I always know when that happens because they sound terrible. If you do... | |
| Why blind listening tests are flawed Non-blind listening tests are flawed, but more time with gear is better than less time. If you could stretch a blind test out into weeks or months, that would be the most accurate way to make the decision. | |
| Lamm 1.2 vs. Pass xa 60.5 I don't know about the comparison with Lamm, but it's interesting how different some of the opinions regarding Pass are in here compared to most other threads. I've never heard the XA series described as lifeless or lacking emotion before. Stereop... | |
| Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8 Thanks for that. | |
| Pass/musical fidelity for focal scala Perhaps you should try contacting both Focal and Pass support and asking what each thinks of the synergy between the two components. Pass support is very good and will tell you if they don't think the two are a good match. I don't know about Focal... |
