SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier
Good to hear. I heard an early Coda, actually had one in my living room, and it was sterile as hell.

I don’t have a problem with that.  Some of the best amps I ever heard were CJ Premiere 8s. Neutral?  hahahahah, no. It is your money, buy what you like to hear.My bigger pet peeve are speaker and equipment reviewers who call very colored pieces of... 
You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss
Eric, a second time, why is it that Pass amps are not to your liking? Hi Mr Decibel, I decline to answer in this thread because unlike others, I like keeping a thread on topic. I want this space for pro-Pass discussions, especially relative to o... 
Speaker Analysis for Armchair Critics
Hello @xyobgyn Thank you for your kind words. I think crossover parts are pretty cheap en masse. I don’t think that’s the biggest factor, but I do think that trends and product differentiation are important motivators for speaker makers. Having sp...

Maybe not their cup of tea, but to say what you have, is well, you know I'm sorry, what is your specific objection to anything I've posted?  
You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss
Hi Mr Decibel,I don't think anyone needs to justify anything, at all. Ever. In fact if you read my posts and how I talk to people whose tastes vary from mine, I always encourage others to buy what they prefer, ignoring me, ignoring the reviews and... 
Audiophile Receptacle question
This should be the last thing you worry about. Isolation from other sound sources, and room acoustics should come first.

Huge number of TL fans, and I always like Fritz speakers and value.  
Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years
Hey OP, Listen I don't want to hijack your thread, but I am curious if you get to compare Pass to other brands and keep coming back to Pass.If so, I'd love to read your experience on those other brands and what you feel the delta is. Maybe not on ...

I agree that implementation, that is, how a driver is designed with a particular technology, AND the crossover's matter a great deal. What I probably should have said is, I grew out of the sound qualities I heard from the first Be tweeters (Focals... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Hi George, I’m glad you are branching out to opine on something besides Class D amplifiers, I think that shows real progress in you participating constructively with others on a broad range of topics.In regards to your reply to me, please just ima... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Hey OP. Ideally, amplifiers are pure voltage sources. That is, the voltage at the speaker terminals is 100% determined by the input from your sources. Usually there's a multiplier, around 20.So, 1 V in ---> 20V out. But as the impedance of the ... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
I just saw the impedance curve. Wow, that's pretty brutal. I would love to see the schematics for this beastie and see if it can be made more amplifier friendly. On another note, one thing I've found about amps and low impedance in the bass: - Amp... 
Power regenerators vs conditioners
+1 for Furman. :) Whole house suppressors are good add ons, but their ratings vary, and often recommend you use a surge suppressor in addition. I'm thinking of some Square D models I investigated.
