| 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 Bill,I know Tony sells Dynaudio. I was asking for his professional opinion. No big deal.Dave | |
| 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 ... | |
| How would you improve the sound of Squeezebox? currently running sb3 coax out via 1.5 meter 75 ohm canare digital cable into bel canto dac3...excellent results. Sometime ago I splurged and bought a wellborne labs high performance linear supply (did not want the stock switcher wall wart spewing... | |

| 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... | |
| Audio Research VT100 MKII retubing blew resistors see responses below1. I was replacing input and driver tubes – your originally Sovteks ended their life. I have used Sylvania JAN 7308 tubes.->ok choice2. I replaced small tubes and after few swapping I calibrated it closely step by step with A... | |

| 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... | |
| Pass Labs amps. Help me choose. Jylee,The impedance is frequency dependent. Which of course is music dependent. Given your favor of classical (and not pop or rap with high rms (average) energies of 30-40 hz) and the fact that we are talking about Pass amps (very stout) the recom... | |
| Pass Labs amps. Help me choose. Completely agree with Bill (Audiofeil). For your stated application the XA60.5 will offer the most refined sound for the dollar. The key is the tame impedance curve at 8 ohms coupled to the high sensitivity... You get 60 wpc rms clean class A powe... |
