| Has anyone heard the new Pass Labs XP-15 phono? Hi Peter,Okay, the system I heard it in that might interest you was all pass, the new preamp, the new highly reviewed amp, and the pass wires, with different speakers. I also heard it in several systems with various gear, all great gear IMO.It was... | |
| Has anyone heard the new Pass Labs XP-15 phono? Hi, Peter, I'm not really in the know on all this, so I wouldn't go by anything I say. I thought the last two preamps out by Pass were very lame, although I loved the remote. They should make that into a universal variety. And the new amp, well, c... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Hi jejaudio, where's a source for ball bearings?Thanks | |
| Well temp, arm drifts from away from center of rec I disagree, bill. I used to have a classic and then a reference, and if set up correctly, the arm would drop directly where you wanted it. However, a good technically minded friend set them up, so I'm no help there. You could try George at Stanalo... | |
| Phono PreAmp with less than a 12" x 15" footprint How much will your spouse let you spend? Will she/he have a color preference as well? | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Jrb55 and knownothing, good questions and points. In my somewhat limited experience with the mapleshade boards, I can say that the boards on the floor alone sound better than my floor by itself, and with my own brass cones under the boards things ... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers I don't think you can automatically make universal claims for each product, good or bad. I think it to be very system dependent. The maple boards didn't work well with a friend's system, in mine they're superb. The Sistrum may have the same effect... | |
| Has anyone heard the new Pass Labs XP-15 phono? Hi, I'd rather not comment much further. I posted earlier on the thread for the new small amp, which I did not like, and got blasted for it. Suffice it to say I really liked this phono stage, using dynavector xv1-s and xx2. You should definitely a... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers I checked out the symposium shelves, read a few reviews, looks cool, but for a set a little more than what I want to spend right now...maybe someday. Thanks! | |
| Has anyone heard the new Pass Labs XP-15 phono? Yep, I heard it, loved it. Sounded great in a variety of systems. Why their preamps aren't as good beats me...would love to hear the two box deal coming out later. | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers I was only trying to find something to work on my soft floors, mapleshade seemed like an easy option, especially the unfinished version. and yes, it does sound better than anything else homebrewed that I've tried. It wasn't my intent to go for som... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Hi, Maril, I found the sistrum website, looks interesting, and saw the dagogo review. Funny thing, I think the reviewer gave 3 or 4 areas where the sistrum made great improvements, and that's what I could have written about the Mapleshade boards, ... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Ok, here goes, might be treading into deep waters, we'll see, a contrast in two systems with Mapleshade board.My floor is suspended yellow pine, very soft. Friends floor is deep concrete slab with hard wood, a very hard surface. (Pierre Sprey says... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Love em! I received 2 of the unfinished 18 by 15 by 2 boards yesterday, with no footers or brass cones. At first I placed them just on the floor, like I had been doing with the birchply. Much better. Then I placed them on 3 wood buttons, attached ... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Thanks guys, very sound advice. I can totally relate to all your stories. I'm having great fun with the 2by2 birchplys I have under now, and I haven't even treated the raw wood yet. BUT, the mapleshade boards arrive tomorrow, so we'll see what the... |
