| I like my Peachtree Nova300 more than my new (to me) Pass XA30.5 HELP! adam8179 OP Read very careful what almarg has said above 4 posts back, as I said in my post"Your right to ask for help, there must be something either wrong with the Pass labs XA30.5 or as Almarg said the set-up you had it in."Cheers George | |
| MSB vs dCS Bartok We can agree to disagree. No, because the OP has not yet tried all the options yet I laid out, to get all cons out of the equation. Then if you saw, I did say to install the preamp back in as a last resort. | |
| MSB vs dCS Bartok And... I know Jonathan, and Vince Galbo, very well. As do I, so now then can you ask them, (just don’t tell them your not a fanboy.) To the options I laid out for the OP to try first, then ask the main one."is the output stage of the Premier dac ... | |
| MSB vs dCS Bartok Sorry George, my experience has been different. And I actually own MSB So do I, and get to see inside them and some of the circuits and what they consist of. It may simply be that the OP does not like how MSB sounds. Which is perfectly normal... | |
| MSB vs dCS Bartok A DAC is not a preamp, regardless of what they say Sorry but this need correcting and is a furphy ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furphy ), the output stage on most dacs today (except tube ones) is every bit as good as a preamps output stage some... | |
| MSB vs dCS Bartok rfc OP Hi George, yes it’s set up with the “high output” Then try the "low output" also hope it has enough volume level for you.As if with the "high output" if you have to turn back the volume level too much, then this could be "bit striping" th... | |
| MSB vs dCS Bartok rfc OP But It’s not as dynamic compared to the Naim NDS /252 preamp I had before. Somethings not right, this is what a HiFi-News review by Ken Kessler had to say about the Premier’s dynamics. Ken Kessler "The Byrds’ 12-string jingle-jangle, is d... | |

| Upgrades for Thiel CS 3.6? gpaulmg1 OP Your 3.6’s are a great speaker, even by todays standard, keep them. But they MUST be driven with an amp that does good hefty current down to 2ohms https://www.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/Cs36fig1.jpg gpaulmg1 OP Upgrades for Thi... | |
| The peculiarities of a high value, low cost, amp Does the Job handle a 4ohm load? The 225 amp drives 8 ohm and "not-so-difficult" 4ohm loads pretty well Like I showed ages ago in other threads, it's just a Job-225 board in a slightly different chassis, and yes Job's didn't do a very good "... | |
| Parasound A21+ or PS Audio S700 monos? In sum, if your own A21 runs hot (but has normal air circulation), I’m certain that something is wrong. I’d suggest contacting Parasound’s Service Dept. Told him that way back, he doesn't listen, or has an agenda.Cheers George | |

| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 The only amp from Yamaha that was any good, and that was for only bass duties was the P2200.Cheers George |
