| Comparisons between Pass Labs and Pass/Threshold The Pass Aleph series amplifiers sound quite different from the current X series. I have owned both and can recommend both, though my preference is for the new stuff. In the Aleph series, the 0s are from the original 3-gain stage design, whereas t... | |
| Noise, hum and AC polarity As I 've said before, what the world needs is an audiophile-grade cheater plug.But more seriously (folks), maybe we need AC cords that are easily changed, or some other simple, user-configurable option. | |
| Need help solving hum problem (a bit chagrined...) I thought that I had tried lifting the ground on the Dodson. But I happened to try it again, and it seems to have fixed the problem. Nevertheless, I will attempt to work through the process Sean describes in his excellent othe... | |
| Noise, hum and AC polarity Sean, upon re-reading, I am not clear as to how you "flip" the polarity of the 3:1 hardware store adapter. | |
| Noise, hum and AC polarity Bravo! A great post, Sean, thank you. | |
| Need help solving hum problem Thank you. I had tried a cheater on both the DAC and the preamp, with no success. I will try it on the amp, but as I said, the hum goes away if the amp and DAC share the same wall outlet. Based on the results of my various troubleshooting attempts... | |

| Need help solving hum problem Yes, it is. | |
| Pre-amp Suggestions for Tubes & Electrostats To respond to your question....you didn't specify a budget range, but in the <$5K (new) range, I strongly suggest you try to listen to both the Placette active (solid state) and the First Sound Presence Deluxe MkII (tube). Both are terrific. | |
| A Moment Of Silence For Waylon Jennings Waylon's record, Dreaming My Dreams, is absolutely wonderful. | |
| best digital cable I use and like the Marigo (in RCA 75 ohm format). Stiff and hard to work with, however. There seem to be more differences between digital cables than one would expect. I don't dispute danner's claim, but even though silver can be bright in analog ... | |
| Speakers for small listening room Do people consider 11 x 18 a small room? Seems mid-size to me and certainly big enough to handle a floostander. (I've heard rumors to the effect that HP's pirmary listening rooms are no bigger than this, and he puts godzilla-sized speakers in them... | |
| Krell vs Levinson vs Pass vs Rowland [Sorry for the topic drift...] Those of you who are Rowland enthusiasts--which models do you recommend? Has there been a major change in the sound of their amps from, say, the Model One to the Two to the current offerings? There are plenty of Mode... | |
