Pass X-250.5 or Plinius SA-103
The Aleph 3 is single ended. I think the other Alephs were single ended or balanced (with the exception of the 0s ?) 
Pass X-250.5 or Plinius SA-103
If money is an issue, I am downsizing and going back to the Pass Labs Aleph series. Still great amps with many models to choose from. I have been running one Aleph 3 with my Audio Physic Virgo IIs with great results (30w into 8ohms,60 into 4ohms).... 
Modern day female jazz recommendations
Anyone mention Norah Jones...great voice. Her first record, "Come away with me" is a tour de force by the recording studio. I also want to say how much Shirley Horn will be missed...Here's to Life... here's to Shirley.... 
Parasound Halo JC-1 and JC-2 How good are they?
Sorry still no JC-2...I agree with Rossman on the quality and price of the JC-1s, but add another 500hrs of break-in time. I used a Pass labs X-1 pre for 1 1/2 yrs.with really good results. When I upgraded to a Pass Labs X-0.2....WOW! I have read ...

Pass X-350 with Acoustat 2 + 2
I'm confused. Pass labs X350 or X350.5, completely different amps besides the 150 lbs.... 
Krell KAV2250 to Pass X250 ?
I have had a ton of Pass gear and some Krell. What makes up the rest of your system...and do you plan on changing other pieces? 
Good Pre Amp W/Remote for Marsh A400s Amp??
There are 3 or 4 Pass Labs X-1s for sale on Audiogon. One of them belongs to me. The price is right and you can not find a better built or sounding preamp in the 2K price range. 
Best speakers with Pass labs X-350.5
I found the Audio Physic speakers to be a great match with Pass Labs amplification. I had the X-1 pre with the X-350 and the XA-160s matched at different times with A.P. Virgo IIs and finally the A.P. Avanti IIIs. I chose the XA/Avanti III combo o... 
New monoblocs for Maxx II, which ones
I heard the Pass Labs XA-160s with the Watt/Puppy 7s and agree with Crna39...a blissful synergy! I ended up buying the Audio Physic Avanti IIIs..not the same Bass responce as the W.Ps but much less $$$ and I feel the speaker had an overall natural... 
Trouble with my Rel Storm III
Thanks you all for your help. I tried everything suggested and more. I called Sumiko in Berkely, Ca.( is Immedia and Sumiko the same Co.?) and they said they would repair it....but made sure I knew they were doing me a big favor. After all I was n... 
Trouble with my Rel Storm III
It does get power...the fuse is good. I wish it was that simple! 
REL studio III hum/rumble
Indirstr8s, Yes I am... my crossover is set at A-4 I would have to consult the manual, but I think it is around 26 hz.I just added a second Storm III...gives a fuller more balanced presentation. 
Rel subwoofers
I prefer the ST version over the Britannia. Better looks, build quility and intergration with almost any speaker. The Britannia may be a better fit with Home Theater....and yes the larger Storm thru Studio subs are bottem firing and ported (no por... 
REL studio III hum/rumble
I have Parasound JC-1s with a Rel Storm III connected as you described with no problems. I would avoid any alternate connections without consulting with Parasound.
