| Mcintosh 452 vs Pass Labs XA 30.5 I have a modest pass syetem and have owned older mcintosh. Maybe not a comparison but I find the Pass Adelph 3 and Pass L pre very addictive. Sound just seems to hang in a very holographic way. | |
| Pass labs with totems I use the ADELPH 3 and first Pass L Pre with a pair of Totem Sky Towers. The pre-amp is -the first incarnation that has adjustable gain via a rocker switch inside. The sound set @ 0db is very natural and believable in all ways. I have tried more s... | |
| Linn Ittok vs. Rega RB-300 Well mark with the understanding you seem to have ? You could probably design a better arm than both the Rega and the Japanese Linn? | |
| Lowther Speaker Amp Recommendations I have the Bicor 2000 cabs, with the DX2 Drivers wired in parallel. They are nominal 4ohm.. Are there any 2A3 amps that will run 4 ohms comfortably? I have seen a lot of 300B single-ended amps that have 4-ohm capability, back to the question. I am... | |
| Totem and Bel Canto? Replaced the REF 500s with my Exposure amp much more suited power-wise to the totems. The REF500S could lose subtlety and just be very Brash with some music. The match was not perfect. Would definitely recommend Exposure with Totem thinking again ... | |
| What speakers with Bel Canto I have Totem Sky Towers and they are running with Bel Canto one series 2.7 dac and ref500s power amp with an Electrocompaniet pre EC4.5 in the middle. The Totem Sky Tower speakers can be a touch forward with some music. | |
| Bel Canto 3.0 vs 2.7 DACs I have the Bel Canto DAC 2.7 running as a pure DAC in fixed volume mode before an Electrocompaniet EC4.5. with a bel Canto REF500S power amp and Totem Sky Tower speakers. Great DAC for use as that and a little edgy if the 2.7 preamp is used. Also,... | |
| Amp-preamp mismatch?? result higher volume. What is rthe cause?? I have an Electrocompaniet 4.5 pre-amplifier with 50k inputs. Balanced and Single ended. I use Balanced. The power amp is a Bel Canto REF500S. I used to use my Bel Canto Dac 2.7 to drive the power amp directly but found that it could sound a littl... | |
| Totem sky tower owners - how do your mass loading ports behave? Put a 1/4 inch thick piece of wadding along the back of the speaker cabinet and up to the top edge at the front where the tweeter is and now everything is deeper and airier. No Brashness to the tweeter. Did a sweep and was much better around 6-8 k... | |
| Totem sky tower owners - how do your mass loading ports behave? No, the mass loading port should not be pressurised as it is a completely separate area from the speaker cabinet. It is designed to be filled with sand cat litter lead shot etc to help the cabinet vibration characteristics. I find the fact that th... |
