| Pass labs XA-160.8 monos - or - Mark Levinson 536 monos for Magico's Luxman's are out of my price range. I would be able to just get one M-900u for close in price to other mono's. My Magico S5 MK II need more. I almost went with one then upgraded later but I know how I am and would not have been happy with one and ... | |
| Pass labs XA-160.8 monos - or - Mark Levinson 536 monos for Magico's My heart says Pass but my Brain says Mark Levinson.I wish I would hear both or either in my system - Not buying brand new.

| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts Great info and thank you yes I probably should stick to digital and may but I’ve been offering terms on a Verdier Plantine Turntable w/Schick 12” Black/Black Arm and Ortofon Winfeld Cart and am considering it. I will still need a phonostage and ca... | |
| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts Great info... maybe I gave up too early. I don’t doubt that.

| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts Lol.. Great point and I agree but the reason is mainly because its the only thing in audio where what I read and hear does not equal my experience. There is no way my digital is that good. Trust me - it is outstanding but it can’t be that much bet... | |
| Upgrade? Luxman M-900u and C-900u from Pass X250.8 - Simaudio Evolution P-8 How is that XP22? I see one popped on the gon yesterday but sort of pricey at $7700? Is that a good price? I was thinking $6k more in line but not sure. I am leaning toward the Lux combo but the X250.8 and XP22 might be a cool and much cheaper opt... | |
| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts Yes that is what I wanted to be competitive or maybe not even but rather good or different enough to enjoy the difference but there was such a drop off that nothing about it was fun.

| Upgrade? Luxman M-900u and C-900u from Pass X250.8 - Simaudio Evolution P-8 4425Those are some serious other pre's you tried. That buttresses what other have told me. They have said it is a legit reference level product that competes with the real big money crowd? Your feedback is appreciated. How is the resolution and ... | |
| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts Misguided?? I mean you could say wrong or erroneous but misguided? How does that make sense? I got good advice and followed directions? Sure, I am sure if it was more broken in it would have been much better but how much better? 10 times better, 1... | |

| Upgrade? Luxman M-900u and C-900u from Pass X250.8 - Simaudio Evolution P-8 Hey Guys - so I like my gear but always like to play around and try new stuff. I do like my Pass Labs X250.8 and thought the X350.8 would have more power? Not sure it is needed but got a strong trade offer on it so was thinking about getting more ... | |

| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts Honestly I don't think its as much about the Rega as to do with my Digital. I wish I could have you hear my digital so I could get an honest, objective 3rd party opinion. My digital just vaporized the Rega. There was nothing even remotely close bu... |
