| My system acts weird I agree with Rx8man. I demoed a PS Audio P 300 "regenerator".All it did was change the frequency of my audible problem.I'm now using a BPT & Platinum Power line conditioners.Problem resolved, for me. | |
| pass labs xa30.5 vs aleph 3 Peterayer,Thanks for the detailed response. My Aleph 2s are the hottest running monoblocs I've owned. I will keep them until something better sounding comes along.The last pair of used XA100.5s I saw here on Audiogon were $10.5K, that's a little m... | |
| pass labs xa30.5 vs aleph 3 Peterayer,I'm wondering how hot your XA100.5 amps run?I know everyone thinks Class A is Class A.I have seen amps that run even hotter than my Aleph 2s.My (former) Pass dealer had a Plinius stereo amp several years ago, on demo from the distributor... | |
| pass labs xa30.5 vs aleph 3 Tiverson,Let me start my 2 cents by asking why he used an Aleph 3?I owned an Aleph 3, two Aleph 30s, a pair of Aleph 60 monoblocs, a pair of Aleph 2 monoblocs, and an X150.5The Aleph 3 was easily bested by the Aleph 30s, they just sound better top... | |

| Special birthday audio gift to yourself? I bought a pair of Avalon Avatars, locally, for my 50th birthday. I never thought a similar size dynamic speaker would beat my Montana SPIIs.These did. | |
| Rowland --- older amps vs the newer models? I own a Model 2 with the matching BPS. I've threatened to sell it, but then I hook it up & it just sounds very, very good.I've heard the new ICE based amps. None of them sound any better than my Model 2.I've seen Model 2s here for around $2K. ... | |
| "This Latest Digital Amp Is Great " Boa2,I've heard the Flying Moles. I just can't believe they still go for $700.00 a pair. They can't cost very much to make.......I tried a friends Spectron in my house on Watt/Puppy 5.1swith Transparent Cable & a Theta Gen Va. It sounded bette... | |
| "This Latest Digital Amp Is Great " I've owned the Acoustic Reality, with the ICE module.It sounded good to me, but I hated that ridiculous triangle where all cables were stuffed.I auditioned an Adcom HCA-2, it definitely seemed much more polished of a design than the A.R.....I seem... | |
| Good match for PassLabs Pre X2.5 Try a Rowland Model 2. The Pass X2.5 has a high gain in balanced mode, the Rowland has hi/lo adjustable gain, allowing you to listen at very low levels, at night.This is important to some listeners, like me. | |
| Bypassing fuses; I'd think twice about it now I understand your position on this. When I owned the 3.3Rs,the sonic improvement when using the solid copper fuse replacements outweighed the chance of damage, in my opinion.I always bi-amped my Maggies with at least 600 wpc, and I don't listen at... | |
| The most emotional amp out there? Cary CAD 300SEI. 15 watts of 300B sound.If I were moving to another planet, I'd leave my Rowland, Pass & Aragon amps behind. This amp would be fine. | |
| Is solid state obsolete? Not as long as Nelson Pass knows what day it is. | |
| How good is the Aragon 8008mk.2 amp? I own the 4004MKII & a pair of the Paladium monoblocs.I've had them all modded locally here in Phoenix, by a highly respected, retired Honeywell employee. They've all had the most basic mods - soft recovery diodes & bypass caps. They sound... |
