BNC out to an RCA in
Use the Stereovox HDVX cable and you will not have to compromise anything. Ends can either be BNC or RCA depending on if the RCA adapter is used. Use the BNC end on the 37 and RCA on the pre/pro. Incredible digital cable as well.http://cgi.audiogo... 
Any Pass labs D-1 owners out there?
Could not agree with you more! If you paid around $2500 it really is the bargain of the century. I think it sounds so good because of the unique D/A stage designed by Wayne Colburn at Pass. Does yours have the 24/96 upgrade? If not, you may want t... 
The best DAC for the money
Used Pass Labs D-1 with 24/96 upgrade listed on Audiogon right now for $2500. Puts most other DACS to shame. The key is the way Wayne Colburn designed the digital to analog coversion stages. Absolutely incredible sound. Run it balanced. 
VMPS RM-40s - Bargin or not?
Absolute bargain- They will toast your 803s. I am using mine (in a room with a 7 foot ceiling) with Pass Labs X350, Pass Labs DAC-1, Altis CDT III, Kimber Select, Virtual Dynamics Nite, PS audio and the sound is breathtaking. Had Martin Logan Prod... 
Beyond Sharp XV-Z9000U projector ?
Roger- The 9000 does allow you to use an external scaler. Do a search on www.avsforum.com and you will find enough information to read for a couple of days. Want to improve the picture of your 9000? Go to www.crtcinema.com and look into the PD-110... 
2003 CES Show Report from Father & Son Audio
Hi Mike....Thanks for some of the best CES coverage I've seen. Just curious when you heard the VMPS RM/X- early on or later in the weekend? Brian Cheney admits the sound was far from good in the beginning, but really had it dialed in by Sunday. So... 
Review: Pass Labs X-350 Amplifier
Very nice review! I have two X350s and love them. Please use the balanced inputs, you will be even more impressed. 
Merlin VMS versus VMPS RM-40 versus Proac 3.8
Get the facts straight. The defective Neo mid panels had nothing to do with Brian Cheney, but were manufactured incorrectly from his Canadian supplier. Brian recognized the problem and offered a solution for those DIY's who wished to repair it the... 
Used Pass 600monos or Rowland 8TiHC?
I agree with all the positive comments about Pass customer service- it is superb. Peter and Wayne are an absolute pleasure to deal with. I have two X350s and a D-1 driving my VMPS RM40s and the sound is to die for. The X350 also drove my ML Prodig... 
Amp recommendations to drive Martin Logan Prodigy?
I also use a Pass X350 with my Prodigies and it is a match made in heaven- could not be happier. 
Krell vs Levinson vs Pass vs Rowland
I own two Pass X350s and couldn't be happier. They are one of my favorite audio purchases. Pass customer service is outstanding. Build quality and sound quality are among the best. I started off with a Krell amplifier that went on fire, next moved... 
Proceed HPA-2 w/Electrostatic speakers?
I was using an HPA 2 with my Prodigies and the combo sounded pretty good. The bass wasn't as good as I thought it could be, and thought it was a limitation of the speakers. Well, I sold the HPA 2 and bought a Pass Labs X350 and the order of magnit...
