| PASS - comparison X 350 to XA 60.5 Pass Labs did indeed make a change, adding the "signal ground pin".I believe it's on all later X.5 & XA.5 amps.I think this is for grounding subs like the RELs.Ask your local Pass dealer, or just contact Mark at Reno HiFi.He'll answer any ques... | |

| How would you feel Bpinder,I have a simple solution for this issue.Always buy used. You'll never have to worry about this, again. | |
| Preamp with XLR input under 1k? There is a Primare P30 on Audiogon now for $995.00.It is truly balanced and has a nice digital display.I like it better than the Adcom GFP750 I used to own.This preamp was designed by James Bladelius, formerly of Threshold. | |
| Meadowlark Kestrel question? I had the Kestral IIs. I tried my Cary CAD 300 SEI & my Pass Aleph 30 on them. The Pass Aleph sounded better.I recently purchased a pair of Sonus Faber Concerto Domus floorstanders. They have the same Vifa ringtweeter as the Kestral II. I'm go... | |
| keeping amps cool? I would only aim a fan at the cooling fins, unless I was certain the amp did not have a built in self bias scheme.The Parasound HCA-3500, for instance, heats up appreciably until it reaches a set temperature.We took the top cover off my friend's H... | |

| McIntosh 452/601 to replace Pass X350.5, good? Are you saying you are adjusting the bias on the Pass amp?Many modern solid state amps are designed to be run with the top lid on. If you're tweaking the amp with the cover off, you are probably defeating any autobias values.. | |
| Which adcom sounds best? Liquid-smooth,I liked the 5400 & 5500. My 5500s both had the IEC connector for the power cable, so I got to try different brands.I'm not sure of the 555 & 555II differences.The newer amps sound better to me, everywhere but in the bass deli... | |
| Which adcom sounds best? I had the Adcom 555, (4)555IIs, the 5400 & (2)5500s.The 5400 & 5500 sounded much better, to me.Try to get a later 5500 with the IEC plug, instead of the captive power cable.This will allow you to try different power cables. | |
| D-Sonic, Wyred4Sound or NewClear Monoblocks? I just bought my second NewClear amp. I still have 3 of the Murano P1000S monoblocs, for my video system.The NewClear sounds noticeably better, which it should.The B&O modules have evolved, (I believe the NewClear has the fourth generation of ... | |

| Different amps for summer and winter? I have the Rowland 625 for listening September through June.I use the NewClear amp in the summer.Here in Phoenix, this is a necessity. My 625 keeps my living room 2.0 to 3.2 degrees warmer than the rest of the house, according to my atomic clock &... | |
| vintage gear esp. tuners with controls on top Google Nakamichi 630 & you'll see a tuner/preamp with an angled face. Maybe this will fit your needs. I've seen these sell for a few hundred dollars, in 7/10 or 8/10 condition. | |
