Any thoughts on Pass X150.8 ?
Old thread, but I just stumbled on it and will add I have been using a Pass 150.8 for 2 years and it remains my favorite solid state amp (42 years in the hobby).  First solid state amp I could live with, and I find I rarely use my reference tube a... 
Sequerra 7.7 Mk. 1 - finish?
I think it was Nextel.  I had a pair, please note that the woofers went bad; Dick told me the original woofers were flawed and sent me replacements that I installed - it solved the problem. I wound-up selling them as I found them fatiguing (the or...

Thanks Todd, when I get time I will do some 'real' listening with & w/out upsampling with me Pavane and let you know what I find : )

Good to know you got the RJ45I2S to work with your DAC - motivates me to do the same.  I have a NOS dac (Metrum Pavane), so upsampling on the transport is fine in my set-up.  Upsampling does sound a bit different - too early to say much, but my in...

Right on a1uc - have fun with the CDT! : )   If you, or anyone, have suggestions for specific CAT7/8 cable one can buy in bulk I am all ears.  I am looking at DH Labs  "Reunion CAT8", and Audioquest  "CAT700 Carbon" . . . that is kinda all I am fi...

Right on : ). I just got the pin information so I can do the same - the pinning for the Metrum Pavane DAC and Jay's CDT3 are very different, but with the info from both makers in hand now (thank you Metrum and Jay's!) I am ready to go.  May I ask,...

Btw, the pinning appears to be different between the Jay's CDT3 and the Metrum Pavane . . . still working on it, but it might require a custom cable to get that I2S connection . . . will update as we work this out.

Thanks Todd and a1Uc.  a1uc, it'd be great if you could post your progress with the RJ45 I2S connection between the CDT3 and Lampizator.  I plan to buy the I2S module for my Metrum Pavane L3 dac, and Todd noticed it seems to have an RJ45 port, as ...

Just a shout-out that Todd and Alvin have both been fantastic; they have responded to all of my e-mails RE my CDT3 Mk3 in a timely manner, and my unit was promptly shipped with truly outstanding tracking information, and it even arrived earlier th...

Just posted this on another website - pasting it here:  My Jay’s CDT3-MK3 arrived today - I have it playing as I type - will post a review after I let it break-in a bit, but I’ll share a few quick notes: it played every disc my PS Audio PWT would ... 
Has anybody listened to WLM speakers?
I have a pair of WLM La Scala's and they are extraordinary: my favorite speaker so far (have owned Avalons, Audio Physic Step SLEs w/ REL sub, Morel Octwins, Impulse Lali's and many more). The comments above are spot on: these are a huge sounding ... 
Hum in the system
I get hum in my system when my Naim 3.5 cd player is plugged into the wall and the system contains and MFA Magus pre-amp. If I unplug the Naim, the hum is gone. If I replace the Magus with and Audible Illusions L1 pre-amp, there is not a hum probl...
