| Neutral preamps I sold my Rowland Consonance and got an Adcom GFP 750. I was quite happy till I heard the Pass Aleph P. Nelson Pass designed both. The Aleph amps & pre amp are my favorites now... | |
| Problems with Hybrid SACD's ? I have the SCD-777ES player. I can play the hybrid discs, no problem. | |
| No interest in battery powered components? I have a Rowland Model 2 with the optional Battery Power Supply. I think the #1 problem with this BPS was the original retail price - $3000.00.I bought my BPS used from the original owner for less than half price when Jeff Rowland discontinued the... | |
| New Cable Help-Balanced or Single Ended I have a Rowland Model 2 amp I use with an Adcom GFP 750 pre amp. Both are fully balanced. The usual question is do you have an unacceptable noise floor? The noise floor in my system is not an issue. I use the components with balanced cable becaus... | |
| Processor ? Can you hold out a while? Sherbourn is supposed to come out with a processor for $1500.00 that will include Dolby Pro Logic 2. The REF 30 is $2800.00 & they say they won't add Pro Logic 2 anytime soon...I installed my new Sherbourn 5/1500A amp... | |
| Linn Klimax vs. Jeff Rowland Model 12? Nighthawk,Your analogy is right on! Implementation of a new technology is (in my opinion) just as important as the advance to the technology. My Pass dealer drives an Acura Legend. I had to ask (at about 80MPH) if it is front wheel drive - it's en... | |
| Linn Klimax vs. Jeff Rowland Model 12? Both these amps have switching power supplies. Both put noise back into your AC lines. Are you sure you want to pay the extra money it will cost to fully isolate these?I'm not making this up, my friend tried the Model 12s & could not use his t... | |
| Best power for 10,000 Are you close to a Pass dealer? Check out an X250 & an X series pre-amp. I don't think the Wilson Benesch speakers you have need more power than that. I've heard they're very well made but bass-shy. A local here in Phoenix tried the Linn Klima... | |
| between this two preamps which is the better Why don't you try a used Adcom GFP-750? The circuit was designed by Nelson Pass & it's in another league compared to the Carver or PS Audio. You can get a used one for around $700.00. | |
| Is upgrade from ML 332 to 332.5 worth it? My friend just sold his 333 & got the 383 integrated. He says the 334, 5 & 6 are about to be replaced by new models.If Madrigal does what they did last time (new circuit board upgrade for 2K & you still can't (change-upgrade) the heat ... | |
| When is the golden age of high-end audio? The Golden Age of audio begins when you find local friends & dealers who are patient, knowledgeable & open minded. | |
| Best CD player with Pass X150???? I'm using a Sony SCD-777ES SACD with a Pass Aleph P & Aleph 30 amp into custom 2-way monitors. The Sony is the best match I've found in my system. I've also tried my older Sony as transport into a Theta Gen V dac, also the Theta Miles (fully b... | |
| sub not switching on Try setting the level controls on both your subs higher, and the level control on your processor lower. This worked for me when I had the same problem with a Sunfire sub... | |
| Classe compared to the Theta Dreadnaught I'm going to suggest you check out the Sherbourn 5/1500 amp. I have a friend with a Bryston 9BST THX ULTRA. I borrowed it & was very impressed. I was planning to buy one. Then I checked out the Sherbourn. Same design basics as the Bryston - 5 ... | |
| Classe compared to the Theta Dreadnaught I believe the current Theta mono amps were designed by someone from Classe. Maybe he had input(!) on the Dreadnaught too... |
