| Olive 6HD Music Server There is a nice review of this unit in the latest issue of The Absolute Sound. | |
| Good/bad idea? Oppo in 2 channel w/out preamp? I have had the Modwright tube Oppo 83 for over 6 months now and absolutely love it. When I plugged it directly into my Pass Labs amp it opened up the sound and revealed that my preamp was holding my system back. So from that point forward, I remov... | |
| Is the Transporter Consider going ALL OUT and getting a Modwright modified Transporter. This mod adds tubes to the signal to give it that tube magic and raises the bar substantially. You can find them used fairly easily here on audiogon. Check out this review from 6... | |
| Preamp for Pass Labs XA30.5 I have the same amp and once I listened to my cd player (has it's own volume control) going direct to my amp, there was no turning back. Going direct revealed several layers of musical intimacy and resolution that I was missing. And I had been usi... | |
| Tube amp to drive Tyler Decade D1's? I would relax and enjoy the new amp upgrade. Glad to hear you are enjoying your system so much more. | |
| Whest PS.30RDT vs Herron VTPH-2 vs Modwright 9.0SE My experience is that the Modwright 9.0 is anything but "tubey" sounding. I suppose it depends on what tubes are installed in there as it is responsive to tube rolling. Mine sounds very neutral and I'm using a set of Jan Phillips tubes and a vinta... | |
| ear 868 0r modwright LS 36.5 w PS or VTL 7.5 S1 If you buy used, you can buy them both the Modwright w/separate power supply and without separate power supply to demo in your system, then keep the one that is the best match. I've done that a couple times with different gear.Only your ears and p... | |
| Tube amp to drive Tyler Decade D1's? I've got the Linbrook Signature system and have tried a few different amps, including a Rogue Audio 90 watt tube amp.The best match I've found so far was using a Pass Labs X150.5. This amp delivers the control and power I need plus some of the tub... | |
| Modwright LS 36.5 or BAT VK-51SE Roor- When you gonna upgrade those speakers? I'd do that before anything else.As far as the preamp goes. I've got a Modwright SWL 9.0 and absolutely love it with my Pass Labs amp. Mine is the model below the 36.5 you are considering. I enjoy the f... | |
| Pass Labs 30.5 Amp owners help When I first go my Pass amp, I only had banana plug ends on my speaker cables so I improvised. The banana plugs will fit into the space you would normally place the bare speaker wires. Just make sure that you unscrew it enough to give yourself eno... | |
| Greg Brown - Wilson speakers Well believe it or not I just got turned onto Greg Brown recently with the song "Spring Wind". It's on the CD Dream Cafe. Hopefully it will come in the mail tomorrow so I can listen to it over the weekend.Good luck Newton. | |
| PASS LABS XA-30.5 vs XA-60.5 Roor,You've already got an excellent amp and source. I would put the $6000 into upgrading your speakers. Those seem to be the weakest link in your system. |
