| My exp. with Focal Sopra No.2 , Harbeth 40.2, Passlabs XA30.5 and Hypex NC400 I've paired my Sopra 3s with a Pass XP-22 preamp and a Pass XA25 Class A amplifier. The XA25 is listed at 25 Watts at 8 ohms... but designer Nelson Pass says it easily exceed that, mentioning that it will safely clip at 80 watts. My estimate is th... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC HOLO Audio/Kitsune recommends that you use the non-oversampling mode for best results. Up-sampling is available, but does not use the R2R ladder DAC for processing. | |
| Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ? How anyone can say a certain Pass amp or any amp in general sounds thin without discussing speakers, preamps, sources or cables has no credibility. | |

| Best preamp for my system. Glad to hear you're pleased with the Joule LA300 (Marianne). I've had the Joule LA-150 Mk2 for a couple years and have never thought about changing preamps until your post. Simon emailed me the other day saying that the SE upgrade is definitely wo... | |
| Joule LA150MK2 upgrade to LA150SE- Any comments? Hey, I'm 56, and fortunately haven't lost much of the high frequency hearing. :) | |
| Joule LA150MK2 upgrade to LA150SE- Any comments? The Joule site describes the sound of the LA150SE as "The bass performance of the preamp is very strong and solid and the treble is open and airy with great extension." | |
| Joule LA150MK2 upgrade to LA150SE- Any comments? I'm hoping the upgrade to the SE will give me more air and treble. The Mk2 provides more than enough bass note for my ears. I was hoping the Z-caps will provide a bit more sparkle in the high end. | |

| Esoteric X-03se owners - feedback please Looking for opinions. I currently have the Esoteric X-03, and am trying to decide whether to send it back to TEAC for the SE upgrade, or to Move up to the X-01 Limited. What I really would like to do is wait until I can snag a used X-01 D2 but $$$... | |
| Esoteric X 03 Power Cord and Interconnect Recommen Charles Hansen of Ayre posted on AA that he likes the Cardas Golden on his Ayre sources. I've tried the Silent Source and Cardas GR on my X-03, but have a Black Sand Violet and a Cardas Golden on the way. At present I really like the Cardas Golden... |
