| 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... | |
| How long does Plinius SA 102 take to warm-up... Tabl10s,I recently bought this amp a coupla weeks back. Since then it has been on 24/7. As John points out, leaving it on and in AB (draws < 40 watts) is the default way to go...but when you really want to listen into the recording, I find that... | |
| Has anyone had success converting friends? nope but two ladies came to my door trying to convert me to mormon. I just stared blanky and stated "no hablo mormado i'm an audiophile" and they said "May Jesus heal you", and left without even handing me a leaflet. It was that bad. | |

| Simaudio or Plinius just picked up a plinius sa102 for my system which includes dynaudio S3.4s. Any concerns about drive, bass control, slam, whatever, have been put to rest. This amp is no slouch! You might also want to contact Pdreher who is running the same amp on... | |
| Tubes to solid state for amplifier path... AbucktwoeightyYour Pass will not run any cooler when it "switches", er I mean, leaves class A and transitions into B. What an interesting thread as I'm taking the digital plunge and trying a bel canto S300. My ARC VT100MKII is currently out of ser... | |

| Mike Doughty Fans? Any more Soul Coughing fans out there? I recently started listening to Ruby Vroom, Irristible Bliss, and El Oso. It's been since about 1999/2000 since I last listened. I must have lost them in the shuffles of life but a friend loaned them to me an... | |

| SS Amp for natural vocals Had CJ MF-2250A, had ARC 100.2 (exceptional), listened to BAT Vk500 (w/bat pak) extensively (ARC 100.2 was tops), had ARC VT100mkii, had many McCormacks, now have Pass x250.5...the Pass is the closest to the VT100mkii on vocals as any other, but b... | |
| Tubes at Best Buy. Yes, it's true. I saw that same thing at "The Sharper Image"I was reclining in the massage chair and my eye happened to catch the word "tube" on the box...i had to stop the massage (it was a good one) to ask the sales guy, hey are those vacuum tubes in there? He ... | |

| Three Cheers for Pass Labs BTW,Do you have the details on the bias test? I would like to chek mine for the heck of it...I'm sure it can't be any tougher than when I rebiased my arc VT100MKII...hot and nerve wracking with the dmm probes across a 450 volt potential...while tw... |
