| Pass Aleph 30 + Placette Passive Pre OK? Also, has anybody had experience with both the Pass Aleph 30/3/J and the Almarro A205A MkII SEP integrated? I know it's kind of apples and oranges, but that's the amp I'm replacing. It sounds great for more intimate, acoustic and vocal music, but ... | |
| Belles 350A Reference vs. Pass INT-150 Anyone have experience with Belles Reference 350A and Pass X-150.5, NOT XA series? XA is more expensive than both of these similarly priced competitors and considerably lower power. | |
| Classe CAP-101 vs Creek 5350SE, others Also, I have been using a Sony 555ES receiver, which generally sounds pretty awful, and have entertained the idea of adding a good power amp in the price range, like a McCormack DNA-1 or McIntosh MC7100 series, and using the pre-out(s) on the rece... | |
| Jolida 1501 RC Bob, did you roll tubes on the 1501RC? I read your comments in other threads and can tell that you're not a fan. I am seriously considering this amp for a 3rd system with Energy RC-50s for movies and some music with a Velodyne servo sub.rnstehno, ... | |
| Got the Touch, Now What? Tpy, it might just be your wireless signal strength/available bandwidth. Try running wired and see if you have the same problem. Is your wireless router 802.11g or 802.11n? The best way to deliver wireless would be to get a wireless router that do... | |
| Usher DMD tweeter upgrade: worth it? Bump. Anybody? | |
| What's your profession? Age? Interesting thread! I always thought people with $20k+ systems were wealthy MD/Biglaw/Exec type people, but there's a lot variety in professions here, although the middle-to-advanced-aged male stereotype seems to hold true. Now I don't feel so gui... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I object to the notion that it's too time consuming/requires too much work, particularly when it comes to the wealthy. To me, that's when it becomes easy. Walk into a well-known hi-fi shop, listen to their top setups, pick the one you like best, h... | |
| "My Dad has a system like that", she said.... "Is the whole idea of having a stereo system - a rack with components plus separate speakers, maybe a subwoofer - skipping the younger generation?"No, I don't think so. I got into this hobby in college and am now 29, and I have some audiophile pee... | |
| Need help picking subwoofer cables interconnects "... which is 100k output input impedance..."errr, I mean "100k input impedance" but I'm sure you figured that out. | |
| Need help picking subwoofer cables interconnects Wow, thanks for all that info Al! That's a good point you bring up about impedance (something I know nothing about). I'm swapping out the S300 with a Belles 150A v2 Reference, which is 100k output input impedance, but that would still result in a ... | |
| Belles 350A vs McCormack DNA-225 for Usher BE-718 I'm going with the Belles 150A Reference. Crossing my fingers that 125 WPC will be enough for the Ushers! | |
| Belles 350A vs McCormack DNA-225 for Usher BE-718 Anyone? | |
| Headphones--The Grado sound in a closed design? How much of a factor is size? Sennheiser HD280 Pro sound nice for closed cans. They are somewhat bulky, though, if you plan on using them in an active setting. For that purpose I suggest IEMs like Etymotic, etc. However, be aware that that kind of... | |
| Squeezebox hard to see? Thanks for the replies. I'm going with the Touch since I have a Palm Pre Plus smartphone and an iPod Touch. Surprisingly, it seems like the Touch goes for more than the Duet on eBay even though its MSRP is lower! |
