| Cables, a case history of an Agnostic Thanks. Scott uses the Audiodharma Cable Cooker, which costs $649 (!!!). But, unlike the MOBIE, it does everything: RCA and XLR ICs, digital cables (RCA, BNC), speaker cables, and power cords Anybody in the SF Bay Area (a BAAS member would be good... | |
| Preamp for Pass X350. I have an X150 and have had excellent results with the Placette. And you should certainly consider the PAss pre-amp. Wth tubes, be mindful that the output impedence of the pre-amp should be 1/10th or less the input impedence of the X-350, which is... | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? Thanks for all the input everybody. It's the damndest thing, but the brightness has gone away. I loaned the First Sound to a friend for a few days, and ever since its return it has not sounded bright at all with the Pass amp. This hobby can be so ... | |
| Priorities, who makes the rules anyway? I agree with you, thunders. The analogy I often use is boats. Some people spend a ton on their boating hobbies.The only problem is I also want that $35K car... | |
| Cables, a case history of an Agnostic What are the "good" cable burners and where can you find them for purchase? | |

| Which Rack Is Better? I've been trying to choose a rack for a couple of months now and have found it one of the most frustrating audio system decisions I've ever faced. There are so many conflicting opinions as to which approach is best sonically--three different camps... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Very well said, Jmslaw. Indeed, I've had tremendous misgivings about digital room correction because I worry that it may change the nature of the pursuit too much. But I'm going forward anyway. | |
| Marantz SA-14 SACD Vs. Sony Models? Art Dudley in Listener has done some comparisons between the Sony 777 and 333 models and the Marantz. I'll relate what I remember, but my recollection could be off. If I recall correctly, he said the Marantz has meaningfully better CD playback tha... | |
| Frequency ranges "Upper Treble 17,000 - 100,000 Hz"Man, that's wishful thinking | |
| Spectral vs Pass whatever that means | |
| Phono Pre, where to hook-up? The output of the phono pre-amp goes into any set of unused inputs on your integrated amplifier. And the inteconnects from your turntable go the phono pre-amp. That's all there is to it. | |
| Preamp shootout: Joule, CJ, BAT Macinman, which is the "old" Meridian model and which is the new? |
