| 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 ... | |
| I was told to put Kitty Litter in my new speaker stands. Was he joking? You can buy lead shot at Cabelas or Bass Pro. I used a mask (happened to have a few) and gloves, while filling with a funnel. A 25lbs bag was plenty for both stands. Music Direct sells a product by KEF that costs about $25.00 a bag. I believe it t... | |
| Making phono resistance plugs FYI... My Whest phono stage .20 was delivered today, and as anticipated it had 2 sets of loading plugs, 47k ohm and 100 ohm. I have been listening 3-4 hours and I must say that the vocals are marvelous and has been a treat to listen to. Since my H... | |

| How much lead and silica sand in speaker stands? I'll correct myself, I have the GAIA lll feet. They might screw into bottom of the speakers. If not Isoacoustics might have the right threads.Thanks for the idea, I'll play with it | |
| How much lead and silica sand in speaker stands? Wasn't there a thread on Audiogon a month or so ago, stating that his speakers doubled in value after putting iso pucks under them... millercarbon has just helped me double the price of my speakers! | |
| How much lead and silica sand in speaker stands? miller carbon..Ok.. I have some Isoacoustic pucks laying around... will they work?For the lead poisoning folks, I used a mask and washed my hands and took a shower after I was through.. can't imagine it posses a threat after being encapsulated in ... | |
| How much lead and silica sand in speaker stands? Alright.. I've gotten a good laugh at this one, mostly at myself.. Following my OCD instincts, I went to Bass Pro this afternoon and bought 2 - 25 lbs. bags of #4 lead shot and to the hardware store and bought a bag of silica sand. I filled them u... | |
| Passive preamp issues or? A nice inexpensive Passive preAmp for the sta-200 is the Schiit Saga. | |
| Cartridge recommendation please... Why MM? Why not a high output MC like a Denon DL-110? |
