| Pass Labs X250 vs Bryston 4BSST vs CJ MF2500A? I'm going to suggest Pass Aleph 2 monoblocs. I bought mine from someone here who owns 801s. He sold the Alephs to me when he went to the Tact Digital amp.These amps have a very distinctive sound. They are also monoblocs, at 60 lbs. each they are m... | |
| Adcom GFP-750 vs Adcom GFP-565 I agree with Bigtee. I owned the 565 for years & sold it when I upgraded to a Rowland Consonance. I own the GFP750 now. It has better sounding ciruitry by far.The 565 did have a nice phono stage built in. I believe it also had higher gain. I h... | |
| Battery powered glory or hype I have a Rowland Model 2. I purchased the Battery Power Supply (BPS) after I had the amp for a while. I would have to say the amp is so quiet (noise floor) to begin with, for me the BPS is overkill.That's not to say it may not help to have the BPS... | |
| mit 750 tube network vs ss- how to tell difference I need to know too. I just received a pair of MIT "CVT MH 750 Shotgun Terminator" Serial #s R & L1086. They have the (HEAVY) network very near the speaker end of the cable. I'll need to put the network on a plastic bucket or milk crate,so they... | |
| Best 2-CH AMP at $2500 TFK,Name your speakers & the rest of the system. I'm gonna vote Pass X or Aleph.......... | |
| Essay bashing Primedia, Stereophile - and Audiogon The Internet is here. And it's here to stay. I still shop at my favorite local dealers. They & I have a much easier time selling good used gear on Audiogon & e:Bay. If any audio critic isn't happy, he can move to a cave w/Sidney Harmon &am... | |
| Is solid state on the brink of extinction? I've heard only one digital amp that truly impressed me in my house on borrowed Watt Puppy 5.1s. It was the Spectron Amp, and it was an excellent match with a Theta Gen Va dac.What is impressive sound to me? Something that comes close to my curren... | |
| Next Step Up from Adcom GFP-750 Preamp? Pass Aleph. Pass X1. | |
| Red headed stranger or the man in black? My favorite current equipment demo song is "The Warmth of the Sun" by Willie Nelson on a tribute CD, "The Beach Boys,Stars and Stripes vol.1". It sounds fantastic & really shows how good redbook CD can sound.I heard a song from the latest John... | |
| New Damper material I'm sure if you leave the meat out and exposed, it will sound better & better.....I can prove this. I'll bet more & more flies show up as the meat ages. Flies must appreciate good sound, I've never seen one in a Bose store......Can I revie... | |
| Adcom GFP-750 vs Parasound P/LD-2000 Preamps? I own the Adcom. I tried the Parasound when it came out. If that's their statement pre-amp, (I believe it was), the remote volume control ramped up way too fast. It was an unacceptable fault for me......The Adcom ramps up too fast for low-level li... | |
| SACD Opinions: Gimmick? Like it? Don't? Why? What else is there now or in the near future? I've heard more than one oversampling dac/player. Some redbook cds sound good to me oversampled, some don't. If I ever buy an oversampler, I want the option of oversampling or not!I own a Sony SCD-777E... | |
| Where does a sellers responsibility stop? Welcome him to the land of tubes. What did he expect?The reliability of solid state?I brought home my Rocket 88 (with all tubes removed).I re-installed them carefully & watched one of the EL34s turn frosty white on start-up. I replaced both tu... | |
| balanced vs unbalanced pre amp Truly balanced has double the circuitry. IF you have a truly balanced amp, then the pre-amp is a match. If you don't have a balanced amp, don't bother........Adcom's GFP 750 pre-amp is truly balanced. Their amps are not. Although the 5802 has bala... | |
| If you were to carry a tube product line? Cary. I just bought a Rocket 88. I got the older version without the extra gain stage. My Sony XA7ES CD player drives it easily through the variable out.This is my first tube amp since I sold my 2 Dynacos. What a leap in build quality & better... |
