A system for my college-bound daughter
KEF LSX- there was a open box for $999.00 at Music Direct. Just add TT. Kids probably will stream anyway. Mine does. 
First Watt SIT-3 preamp pairing advice
The MZ2 has more air and transparency. I would agree with zm's characterization of the MZ2, but it still has that tube liquidity. I do think the other 2 choices are good pieces, and I still haven't sold my Supratek Sauvignon . I've been thinking a... 
First Watt SIT-3 preamp pairing advice
I have the Supratek Sauvignon and a LTA MZ2, I have used both with my Pass XA25. The LTA is the clear winner in this combination. 
Pass INT-250 for B&W 800's
jeffreyw-There are some folks around here that have alarm bells (just like a firehouse) that go off, every time there is a thread about Nelson Pass. I think Nelson must have stole their girlfriend in high school, either that or they have something... 
Why so many angry audiophiles?
I'm very fortunate to be able to work from home, during this mess. Don't know what I'd do without some decent music/equipment to listen to, so yes I'm very thankful. It will be interesting how many "pots" will be commenting on the "Black Kettle". 
Better Amp for Cornwall IV's...
Pass Labs XA25 class A would be more than enough, to make theKlipsch Cornwall’s sing. 
Is Carl Bernstein an Audiophile?
If you don’t like it, just keep moving. I read/browse many threads that are dumb, like “which sounds better, amps with meters, amps without. 
Is Carl Bernstein an Audiophile?
I hope you didn’t really mean to say, “Nixon had the decency to resign because of what Bernstein did”. Morally, I would think you’d blame Nixon, for what Nixon did. However, this isn’t what I was hoping to, discuss. I was watching a few videos on ...

Preamp choices:Short list
MicroZOTL preamp. Sells for about 4,500.00. I also have the Supratek Sauvignon and I like the MicroZOTL better. 
Confession of a poor power cord pairing for a Pass Labs XA-25
alfau7-First let me say, that I thought the Nu-force was a great little amp for $400-$500. Comparing it to the NAD integrated that I had before, it was eye opening, then when I connected the $99 Silnote power cord, it got even better. If your look...

Confession of a poor power cord pairing for a Pass Labs XA-25
I originally paired the XA-25 with Zu Dirty Weekends. I recently purchased a pair of KEF LS-50 Meta’s. I’ve enjoyed both and have zero issues with powering the 85db Meta’s. I believe Herb Reichert has a Stereophile review, pairing the Magnepan .7 ... 
LTA - Has Anyone Had First Hand Experiance?
Here comes another LTA fan club member. I have a MZ2 that I am using as a preamp with my Pass XA-25. Nicholas at LTA is excellent. (think that's his name) The combination allows me more versatility in future speaker upgrades. I think an open baffl... 
For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question.
I’ve always felt that Musical Fidelity equipment was nice looking, even though I don’t have any.McIntosh and Pass Labs gear is always great looking. Dodd preamps sound and look good. Most tube gear is cool especially in the evening.I think it’s a ...
