| Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else I agree with some of the above, the problem isn’t Pass, it’s the synergy with the rest of your gear. Several reviews mention though the XA30.8 to be similar to your description, and in head to head reviews, the XA25 wins in most areas. It also hit... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Weather Report: Heavy Weather... Legacy release. Just doesn’t cut it. First side just awesome, second side... not so much. Just can’t recommend. Great tunes though, need to find the original.Tower of Power: Back to Oakland much, much better. | |

Just not worth it. Who knows though? It might just be one awesome pre! Good luck! You did order i... | |
| Integrated for Legacy Audio Focus SE's Without a mention of budget, your question can’t even begin to be answered... also, what do you need in your int? DAC, phono, etc? | |

| What 50wpc or higher amps have a totally different sound from Pass Labs, in a good way? At the level you are talking, there really isn’t a yin/yang just preferences of nuance. Going to a tube amp would possibly be considered a yin/yang, (SS vs valve) but the 30.8 is a pure class A amp so even with that more of a preference thing over... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Jimmy Page and The Black CrowsLive at the Greek... my wife loves me. Christmas present! | |
