| Preamp recommedations for Pass Labs XA-100.5 When I got an XA30.5 I ran my source direct to the amp (it has a volume control) to bypass the highly regarded preamp I was using and I was blown away by the clarity and resolution that I was hearing. This experiment led me to look for a preamp th... | |
| Dead Can Dance Does it Again I got this new cd last week and love it. There are a couple songs on there that are just mind blowing. Some of the songs have an epic feel to them with lots of low frequency bass rhythms, with I love. When I heard "Return of the She-King" for the ... | |
| The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig? I had an audiophile friend give my rig a listen and he said, "I've never heard a rig sound so coherent." | |
| Do you ration your favorite music? Instead of rationing, I tend to listen to the cd more often. | |
| What is the best power cord for pass labs xa100.5? I have the XA30.5 amp and heard minimal improvement with using a Pangea AC-9 on it. I tried others as well, also minimal improvement. I tried an Audience Powerchord "E" version and heard a significant improvement, which really surprised me. | |
| Rethinking my system: Your ideas are appreciated I used to have the Focus 220's and eventually sold them because the didn't really provide the umph and fullness I was looking for when listening to classical music. I upgraded to the Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature system and have been satisfie... | |
| The Tempest Well, so far you're the only one. | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes Well I pulled the trigger on the Create 5AR4 tube for my Modwright Oppo 83 and it replaced a vintage Mullard. Since getting the Create, I have no desire to put the Mullard back in. Music sounds cleaner with more detail and a little less warmth com... | |
| The Tempest I just saw that on Amazon today. I'm a Dylan fan, but won't know for sure if I'll get this cd or not before listening to some samples.But before I even think about this cd, I'm getting Alanis Morrisette's new cd and the new Dead can Dance CD. | |
| Cd player repair in San Diego I bet the dust got onto the laser lens. Try one of those cd lens cleaners that have the delicate brushes equipped on them. | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Well said Ozfly. I totally agree. | |
| What's with all the Sony 5400ES units for sale? I had the Sony and found it too clinical and hyper detailed. It didn't sound natural in my system so I sold it. Now the Modwright Sony is the way to go and I would definitely consider that as a possible upgrade. I ended up going with the Modwright... | |
| NuForce DAC-9 I friend brought over his Nuforce Dac-9 to my house for a listen and I was very impressed with it. For my source I'm using a Modwright tube Oppo 83 into a Placette Active preamp, w/Pass labs XA30.5 amp.I thought the music sounded cleaner with high... | |
| Crisp sounding tubes for Modwright 5400ES I ordered a Create 5AR4 for my Modwright tube Oppo 83 to replace a vintage Mullard. One tube costs $90 shipped. We'll see how it sounds...... | |
| Pass xa600.5, Marantz 9S2 or Mcintosh MC501/MC601? Another vote for he Pass Labs.I have Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature system speakers with a Pass XA30.5. They are definitely a synergistic match for each other. At higher volumes (90db) the needle moves past noon, so at some point I'd like to m... |
