| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps Oops, sorry, Tvad, I quickly perused a few reviews and saw a few comments on the newer esotec tweeter and assumed in certain situations it might be too much or would have to be matched correctly.Peterayer, I definitely think they're market savvy a... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps I could definitely see where a Pass amp could take care of any perceived brightness....they certainly are market savvy. | |
| Koetsu vs Dynavector vs Lyra?? I'd love to hear what you're hearing....sounds fun!That's one iritant for me with these forums, it's like reading about food without getting to eat it. | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps Tvad, I was doing a search on the silverlines, (I've always wanted to hear them) and I saw several mentions where Alan Yun preferred tube amps. It might have been for a different model. Regardless, it sounds like you've sorted it out to your likin... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps Tvad, what speakers are you using with your pass amp? I remember 93db somewhere, that's all i can recall. Still just trying to sort all this out in my head. | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps nothing fancy, some regas, some others, all can time normally in the same room, with various other gear.I kept thinking the gear wasn't getting it's due, yet everytime something else replaced it the system boogied again. I could see where the amps... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps Various speakers, Tvad, with all pass gear. and it was their wiring. as i said, beautiful voices, especially say like a frank sintra record, then, you play something that needs to boogie, and it couldn't do it. You nailed it when you said no glare... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps Hm, I guess it's not my cup of tea. I concur with the no-glare, that part was beautiful, especially for voices. The rest, well, just didn't cut it. | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Right now I'm trying a 2by2 sheet of 3/4"thick birch ply, and loving it, tight, articulate, without accentuating anything. The maple has to be better than this or it's going back. | |
| Koetsu vs Dynavector vs Lyra?? Hearing a Lyra once was quite an education, something very expensive, often superlative reviews, you'd think the be/all end/all, yet, it was such a huge disappointment. Tons of information, detail. Still, it couldn't time, boring in the extreme. N... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps Hi, could someone please describe the sound of the XA30.5?I heard it recently, and was wondering if my impressions were close to what you are hearing.Thanks. | |
| Are Harbeths really "all that?" Oh oh, so much for good ol bob....A friend said that Peter Q of AN would play bad metal really really loud. Well, Artie likes them anyway...I have yet to hear em. The corner thing doesn't bother me, I'm sure they have great centerfill. They do get... | |
| Are Harbeths really "all that?" check out the thread of bob neil of amherst audio on positive feedback, or maybe audio asylum...anyway, he went the early spendor route, then harbeths, then audio note. he does a pretty good job of laying it all out there. he also says what works ... | |
| Audioquest vs Hunt EDA Mk6 record brushes I've had both, the audioquest does seem a little nicer, I've had the decca and ps audio as well. The disc doctor, with his lovely cleaning pads for your vpi rcm recommends the audioquest... | |
| Are Harbeths really "all that?" NOPE!(way too polite, or for me to be polite, I should say, not for me) :)I had a startling experience in hearing some very expensive gear recently with huge credentials and reviews, and it was boring as the dickens. And it has received raves from... |
