| class d good point Guido. I too have heard similar sounds from other operating classes. Yes I may have been too hasty in my post. It seems to me, however that one may need to spend more dollars to have a class d based system exceed the musicality of a fai... | |
| Bell Canto VS Pass Labs Mechans not only are the Pass mechanical cases beautiful, but they are necessary in order to close the loop on the thermal design. It's more than gilding the lily; it IS the Lily | |
| Bell Canto VS Pass Labs totally agree with Tvad. I had an x250.5 and an S300... the Pass was in a completely different league...The S300 while not the ref1000 is based on the same technology...even so even if the s300 i had was significantly better (as in ref1000) the Pa... | |

| Speakers: $3,000-$4,000 on Audiogon TtowntonyDo you think, given my system, the S5.4s would be much better than the S3.4s? I am slightly concerned that the move to the 3 way s5.4 (from 2 way s3.4) while it does offer more extension, might lose that excellent midrange coherence, imme... | |
| How would you improve the sound of Squeezebox? Cerrot,It's more like (new dac1=1k, new bcdac3=2.5k, for 1.5k delta and used dac1=850,used bcdac3=1850, avg used for 1k delta ), and yes the diff is def worth it. In my system the dac1 was a bit on the analytical and dry side (If perhaps it's b/c ... | |

| Speakers: $3,000-$4,000 on Audiogon Well i'm biased of course. But a good friend, before he moved, had your amp (MC402) and the S3.4s. The preamp was Cary SLP05 and the source was a Marantz SA8001. I've heard the system many times and it had everything you are looking for. I also lu... | |

| Pass Labs amps. Help me choose. Tvad: I see. In that case a really competent tube amp like VTL or some ARCs and BATs might be a good fit too. This is one of those thorny issues that, sadly is marginalized by marketing to a single value (8 ohms/4 ohm). There is a member (I think ... | |
| Pass Labs amps. Help me choose. Tvadanything above 2 to 3 ohms with moderate phase angle IS benign to most modern ss high end amps, especially Pass. 19, 30, 150, 500 ohms matters even less. What we are discussing is current delivery. The Pass, as you mentioned is very capable. T... |
