| All Amps Sound the Same.... This is as accurate as "Full, rich sound" from Bose.You either buy into their viewpoint, or you don't. | |
| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? Sfstereo,I'm in the same boat as you. I have the XP-10.The Pass website now has posted pictures & a detailed description & the owner's manual for the XP-30.Since it lists for so much $$, I'm looking for an XP-20.I like my XP-10 so much, I'... | |
| Do you buy new equipment because you are bored I try to check out Audiogon every day.I've had the very good fortune of having (had) many hi end stores here in the Phoenix area.Now, 80% of the brick & mortar stores here are gone.I still have my wish list!I'm constantly looking on line for i... | |
| High end speakers without bi-wiring? Ihcho,I have always bi-wired my Avalon Avatars.I've never had 2 pairs of identical speaker cables, at least not premium grade. I run the better cables on the tweeters, regardless of guage. My Avatars always sound better, this way. | |
| High end speakers without bi-wiring? If you can't bi-wire, you also can't bi-amp.That definitely limits your options for amplification. | |
| The best CD Player for the money Wow!I can't believe it took 10.5 years to answer this!This can end today.Electrocompaniet EMC1-Up. | |
| XA 30.5 or mod S/500? Cippoliner,If you live somewhere where you can use true Class A amps,you should try a pair of Pass Aleph 2s. These are not balanced (even though they have balanced & single ended inputs). I believe they will mate well with your current preamp.... | |
| The ignorance of SACD & DVD-A marketing idiots.... Stanwal,I believe Sony did try to force everyone to switch to SACD. They had the option of offering hybrid SACDs instead of the SACD only versions.I can count very few hybrid SACDs I've ever seen from Sony.I think this was a big mistake, on their ... | |
| The ignorance of SACD & DVD-A marketing idiots.... Don't forget Laserdisc. Pioneer came out with a video delivery system that absolutely stomped VHS & Beta.Then they sat on their hands and watched it die.Blockbuster started flooring a few titles for rental,after everyone including the early ad... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Your not a dealer, are you? | |
| XA 30.5 or mod S/500? Cippoliner,I believe your Threshold preamp is not balanced.As long as your using this preamp, you will not be using any truly balanced amp to it's full potential.An Adcom GFP 750 would be an instant upgrade, cheap. | |
| Rowlands Inna,I've owned a Rowland Model 2 for about 10 years.My Pass X150.5 is the first amp (besides my Pass Aleph 2s)that sounded as good.I sold the X150.5 simply because the Rowland runs cooler in my bedroom system.I recently bought an XA30.5. If it is... | |
| Newbie needs help building a tube system for $6-8K Rythmnsound,I'm going to jump on this & suggest you go really cheap.Get a Melos SHA-1 preamp. No remote but it sounds very good, available used on Audiogon for around $400.00.This tubed piece is super simple & still in demand.For the amp, ... | |
| Are the CD'S days numbered? Probably about as numbered as LPs.Todays kids will (for years) eye us playing CDs like we're spinning LPs.So be it. | |
| Mark Levinson n°39 or dedicated DAC? Pmichellon,I emailed my tech. friend.The laser is no longer available, for this piece... |
