| MARK LEVINSON H SERIES AMPLIFIERS PERSONAL REVIEW Sounds good! I had a bad experience with Levinson many years ago, so I'm a bit leery to try it again. But, I did hear it at CES in the Harman room driving JBLs, and I thought it was pretty good. Better than what I remember... | |
| Classic rock: best remasters I agree, most of those early CDs (up until say 1989) are drink coasters. | |
| Buying A Cartridge Direct From Japan Yeah, but where's the Price Japan equipment coming from. They're not an authorized dealer for any of the stuff they sell. So it's a grey market product. Furthermore, you can get a 100V piece and either rewire it or run it on a transformer, *but* i... | |
| Help with Preamp selection Yeah, I would go with the XP10 or the older XP1. | |
| Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ? That's a better match than with the Revels. | |
| Mcintosh mc601 vs Pass Labs XA 100.8 That's cool, Bo. Keep up the good work. | |

| Mcintosh mc601 vs Pass Labs XA 100.8 Ok, Bo, thanks for that. I found it interesting. | |
| Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp? While its true that a well matched amp will go a long way in getting the most out of a pair of speakers, if you don't have a preamp that is equally good, and well matched to the other components, the system will sound like crap regardless. More im... | |
| Mcintosh mc601 vs Pass Labs XA 100.8 Ok, I got it now, more powerful stereo amp...That's cool about that power cable. It must be something else!I agree, it's all about results. | |
| Mcintosh mc601 vs Pass Labs XA 100.8 So, I take it you don't recommend passive bi-amping? How about active bi-amping with an external crossover? | |
| Classic rock: best remasters I like some of the UK Deep Purple remasters; especially 'Machine Head.' The original US CD is garbage. | |
| Best recorded rock song ? Thin Lizzy-"Dancing in the Moonlight" | |
| Mcintosh mc601 vs Pass Labs XA 100.8 Bi-amping with different amps is not that easy to get it perfectly ballanced. I would not go for that.Ok Bo, why is that, please. |
