| Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100? Pine Tree Audio. Well made available in a variety of colors. Good insulation, OCC copper, quality connectors. That's all I use in my system. Power cords also. Very quiet, neutral and good sound staging. You will not need new ones. IMO | |
| New Pass Labs Go To Great dealer, great person. Great equipment. All good things must come to an end. | |
| Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120 If the Gryphon doubles at 4 ohm and 2 ohm I would not be concerned. I see it puts out 440W @ 2 ohms.The big Gryphon will drive anything. I have not seen a class D products that do that. I don't listen to lots of gear but heavy and doubling Watt... | |
| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? I think you did pretty well. Pass and Klipsch are a good match. I use the XA25 with Crites(Cornwall sized). But if for some reason, you don't like the speakers, you have plenty of power for most speakers. A couple things to consider: If you ... | |
| Costliest Brainfart Borrowed my friends DIY Class A amp. Hooked up speakers. Hooked up speakers in the basement, thinking I would switch back and forth. Well, I left both sets on. Only time I have had smoke coming out of equipment. AND it wasn't even mine. My f... | |

| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? I could say my 8 track player and greatest rock hits but.. My friend, who worked at the local audio store, had a Big AR tube amp,AR SP3 preamp and Magnaplaner Timpani 3s. So smooth and natural sounding. Much better than the smaller Magnapans cr... | |
| Help this old rookie with speakers I have Crites Type B. 4 yrs old. They are made with quality components. Set up correctly, they will sound quite good. I have subs and they sound better. You can order them with ALK adjustable crossover now. I have seen veneered versions that ... | |
| Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions I didn't know any better and was using the Node for a preamp. I have rhe 2i. It is a digital volume control and "bit strips" I changed it to "fixed volume". Very important! I have very similar speakers. I use a passive Khozmo preamp. My sys... | |
| SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)? Pass XA25 is here to stay. Reputation, service, durable and excellent sound. Has plenty of reserve power. You can get a demo for 4k @Reno HiFi. | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k Horns. I think it gives lots of flexibility i.e amp size. Fleetwood and Volti come to mind. | |
| Passive preamp I went through this a few years ago. I think whether you want passive or active, depends more on the efficiency of the speakers and second the amp specs, input and output sensitity. I found a very good explanation of different types on the Goldmun... | |
