| Pass 600 vs. X1000-any differences in sonics? What about the other X series amps? Do you find much difference between the X-150 and X-250, for example? | |
| switching from Tubes to SS Brulee, what is in your system, if I may ask? | |
| switching from Tubes to SS Hmmm...interesting. I'll try to get my hands on a more exotic tube amp one of these days and see if, for me, it does a better job of creating the illusion of a musical event. -dan | |
| my Talon Khorus sounds bad And new rock recordings sound better?If your favorite music doesn't sound good on your system, change your system. | |
| switching from Tubes to SS As I said above, I use a Pass X-150 with my Proacs, sometimes with a First Sound and sometimes with a Placette. I also have a CJ 11a amp that I play with from time to time. It has wonderful bloom and a huge sound stage, but I always return to the ... | |
| Best inexpensive integrated for PSB Gold speakers. This is a great discussion! I am quite surprised that several people have chimed in that the Golds don't really open up until you mate them with massive amounts of power. I don't know the speaker well, but I'm very curious about this phenomenon. W... | |
| my Talon Khorus sounds bad There you go, a stand-up manufacturer. Let us know what happens, will you? | |
| cables for GUITARISTS from audio companys Tara Labs also has a line. | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? Thinking about this over the past couple of days, I believe one of the problems I have with the general SJ genre is the electric bass. I love electric bass in many contexts, but it's a distraction for me in SJ, particularly that slap-and-tickle st... | |
| Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic I owned Quad 57's for many years before moving to dynamic speakers, of which I have had a succession: Avalon Eclipse, Spendor 1/2, and now ProAc 2.5. Despite upgrading all other parts of my system, I find that I just don't get off on the music as ... | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? I dislike most of the smooth jazz I have heard because it has zero emotional content. Great chops, perhaps, but no feeling. Thus, in my mind, it is indeed elevator music. Not that there's anything wrong with that. | |
| Question about break-in method for interconnects The literature with my Marigo digital cable says that all you need for burning in digital interconnect is a signal lock between transport and DAC, so the transport does not need to be actually running.. | |
| how to best a/b cables I agree with Sugarbrie and will go one further to say that quick back-and-forth switching actually obscures sonic differences between cables (or components). But try it both ways and see for yourself. | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? And now, the First Sound sounds too dull and soft with the Pass. These days I am using a 4M run of interconnect, which could be a factor. Or I could be losing my mind. Dan | |
| switching from Tubes to SS I drive Proac Response 2.5s with a Pass X-150 and I use a First Sound tube line stage as you do (some of the time, I switch off with a Placette). Great combination. You may want more power than the 150, but maybe not. |
