| Pass labs X350.5 jumpers and Power cables Playing with the system last night I was rotating interconnects and power cables looking for a good balance and what the Pass is doing in my system. A few quick observations. I cannot get the bass where I want it. This could be part of the Dynaudi... | |
| Pass labs X350.5 jumpers and Power cables Great Zenieth, this totally helps. Pass website is still down. I'm using the following power cords as I remember;DIY VH-Audio Flavor 4 (4 twisted 12 ga wires with a reverse twist ground around the 4 + and - wires terminated with Furutech FI 11 gol... | |

| My Line Arrays and Dynaudio monitor - where to go Well I took a deep plunge and bought a Pass Labs X350.5. The amp market is hot as my bid for others was always too late. Then came the 350 and out went my Nuforces and a lot of cash. At least I can take the "too short of power" equation of the mys... | |
| Review: NuForce 9 V2 SE Amplifier I don't know yet folks but soon I'll have plenty to comment on as I just sold my 9SEV2's and bought a Pass X350.5. Why did I do that?I'm selling my line arrays and purchased the Dynaudio C1's which I felt the Nuforce's were struggling to get bass ... | |
| Amp for Dynaudio C1 Mcintosh 402 or Cary CAD 500? Sounds like the Pass 250.5 would be a good solution. The F12 vs F13 debate continues as I hoped I could use a single F113 vs 2 X F112. HT might benefit a bit from the larger F113 and given the supposed excellent low end response of the C1 and with... | |
| Amp for Dynaudio C1 Mcintosh 402 or Cary CAD 500? I'm also interested in the Pass 250.5. My reservation there is wondering if the 250 watt Pass is enough to drive the C1's. They review like the type of sound we enjoy. Not to analytical, great midrange and solid articulate bass.When I'm listening ... | |
| My Line Arrays and Dynaudio monitor - where to go I thought about the Pass X350.5. Wasn't sure if it was a good match for my C1's although it certainly has the power and then some. Trying to pick up a pair of Cary CAD MB500's. There has to be something magical matching a Cary with a Cary right?Th... | |
| what happened to Cary 500MB? Thanks Ajackson. I called Cary and they pretty much confirmed what you and others have said about a mismatch. They also mentioned that the CAD MB200's should be more than enough power to drive the C1's. | |
| what happened to Cary 500MB? The McCormicks Input Impedance is 10 kOhmsThe Cary's Input impedence is 50,000 Ohms - RCA100,000 Ohms - XLRbut it's output impedence is 400 OhmsI'm not familiar with these figures. can someone help me out? Is the McCormick a bad choice due to thes... | |
| what happened to Cary 500MB? I picked up a pair of Dynaudio C1's and found thhat my Nuforce 9SEV2's may not be enough to make these C1's sing. My preamp is a Cary SLP-05 which we hold dear. I was thinking about the McCormick DNA 500 but also had an eye on the Cary 500mb's. Wo... | |
| My Line Arrays and Dynaudio monitor - where to go We've been back and forth between the LS6's and the C1's.With the C1's, half of my music collection which consists of everything from Mozart and Bach, to Porcupine Tree and Radiohead, to Neil Young and Robert Johnson, to Joan Osborne and Jeff Beck... | |
| My Line Arrays and Dynaudio monitor - where to go I'm taking a hard look at the Plinius line, specifically the 301B (I think). Pass labs wouldn't be out the question and for a lot less money the Odyssey Stratos Mono Extreme's look good. I actually auditioned someone's Stratos in my home and was v... | |
| My Line Arrays and Dynaudio monitor - where to go I took ownership on the Dyn's last week and have been tweaking the setup in our room which now seems larger than smaller. What an interesting contrast between David (C1) and Goliath (LS6).As one would expect the dynamic swings we've grown very fou... | |
| My Line Arrays and Dynaudio monitor - where to go Well I'm throwing caution to the wind and buying the C1's. They will stand next to the line arrays and do battle. I believe that a sub will be needed as we've been spoiled by the low base quality of the arrays. I thought about the C2's but it didn... |
