| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste Erik,Thank you; Hilarious about the beer; I WAS purely an IPA guy but have been gravitating towards sweeter lagers but I still like Bells Two Hearted Ale; Horses for courses, they say :)I’ve been listening to Dynaudio ever since 2005 when I first ... | |
| Smoke on my power amp Ihcho, Have the transistors been destroyed? It’s really grainy from the photos;Since many of them are connected in parallel they all experienced significant current ( if actually shorted at output), but due to device tolerances, in the event of a ... | |
| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste Holy smokes; why are people jumping to conclusions that Pass knowingly rushed an inferior design to market? Fsonicsmith please list your sources otherwise we might conclude your summary may be based on phrases taken out of context. I read the arti... | |
| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste Eric,I’d love to hear an INT 25; I really like the approach they took with the output stage topology; reminds me of Gamut or Dartzeel;My speakers are probably not best load for that amp, but I have to admit I was shocked by how great my XA 30.5 so... | |
| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste Hi @erik_squires thanks. I keep what I like and sell what I don't; In this case Pass won me over compared to the best Luxman had to offer; Pass Fan boy? Absolutely!! and thank you for the compliment :)Good luck on your quest of trying to understan... | |
| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste Last year I went on a turbo mission to find the best amplification that makes the most music to my ears; I purchased and lived with top Luxman solid state: 509x, m900/c900 combo; numerous ancillary equipment swaps in the process so I could best di... | |
| Audiophile speakers that get loud Get Dynaudio contour 60s. You will not need subs. These speakers are incredible for loud dynamic playback with bass that is palpable, super deep and highly impactful; | |
| Luxman M-600A Properly designed amplifiers, any class, will be sure to manage the internal heat such that the capacitors see the least heat; In the case of modern Class A or AB amps of 30 watts or more, the semiconductors are interfaced tightly to large heatsin... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? Good idea davekaycKeep all options on the table!!The JL E-112 subs have a fair amount of built in tuning so hopefully this proves helpful; Since I am nuts about this stuff, I am going to grab our nice Oscilloscope from work and my omni mics (or us... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? @erik_squires thanks good info;I agree the using a pre-out (or active crossover) the preferred way and so does JL audio, but in my case I am running my XLR only DAC directly into my Amp; I will need to play around in the speaker level input regime... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? @erik_squires Can you detail this thought please:"Speaker level inputs are subject to the amp/speaker impedance matching"My amp's Zout is much less than an ohm (according to Luxman the damping factor is around 700); The Zin of the powered sub, acc... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? pretty solid article on sub integration. https://jlaudio.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205061040-Adding-a-Home-Audio-Subwoofer I am preparing to integrate a pair of JL E112 subs in my system...showing up in a few days...I will first try high lev... | |

| ESOTERIC N-01 Replacement For My PS Audio BHK Preamp & Directstream Dac with Brige ll @blumartini you really should try to demo an MSB Discrete dac; with the Ethernet renderer module and second power supply you have a Roon compliant endpoint that also functions superbly as a preamp; I recently completed an extensive A/B with my Lux... | |
| Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers? Pass XA 30.5; such a music maker!@avanti1960 My dad had a white 1963 Studebaker Avanti, R2 with red interior from 1979 to 2012. I should have kept that one. I helped him put a solid state ignition in it and was with him when he rechromed all the p... |
