| Pass Labs and Fuses I have used a Blue Fuse in my Pass XP-20 preamp. It was easy to choose direction and, when in the correct direction, contributed to superior performance versus the stock fuse (which was also checked for direction and removed and reinserted as a ... | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses bdp24 Nelson Pass and Roger Modjeski (Music Reference) are two designers responsible for some of the best sounding amplification available today, and neither "believes" in fuses having a sound. What a coincidence. geoffkait It’s a cry in’... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Oscillation has nothing to do with whether an amplifier can double power as impedance is halved, and has nothing to do with whether or any such nonsense.This statement is false, and quoting nobody, your inferring that someone said if an amp can do... | |
| Should I buy used Thiel CS5 @maplegrovemusic , you scored one of the all time bargain deals! +1 | |
| Will my Krell drive a 2 ohm load? jji666 Your Krell while good, isn't the typically pictured brute Krell that can drive a locomotive, or maybe a 2ohm load properly with conviction. I would say no to it driving that combined load well. The KSA150 type Krell's would be better.Ch... | |
| Opinion needed cwatters Nice pre, one of the best tube pre’s around, they eat tubes though, AI run them very hard they need replacing often, my friend does his every thousand hours or so, he says he can hear the difference for the better when it’s done.Your O... | |

| Should I buy used Thiel CS5 jeffvegas Should I buy used Thiel CS5 If they are in good condition, a definite yes, as even by today’s standards one of the greats, but only if driven from an amp that is stable and can deliver big current into 2ohm continuously and remain comf... | |
| What CD Transports Provide the Most Detail? dsperWhat CD Transports Provide the Most Detail? One with the best sound will have the best output wave form, lowest jitter, and good error correction.Looking output square wave (of one of mine), square as possible and no overshoots or rounding o... | |
| What does an impedance-matching issue "sound" like? It's a shame they don't give the poweramp (blue) distortion figures when it's in "strapped paralleled" mode also, this "could" give your problem.Cheers George | |
| What does an impedance-matching issue "sound" like? BUT occasionally I am hearing what sounds like a bit of breakup deep in the mix of some songs. Like the whole channel isn’t breaking up, but suddenly a rhythm guitar part sounds noisy like it’s being played through an AM radio or something. On som... | |
| Mark Levinson integrated powerhouse with all the bling it must make the people doing the bashing feel oh-so superior to those of us who like ML. Yeah superior plebs, who have no idea how good ML electronics were, amps or digital.Cheers George | |
| What does an impedance-matching issue "sound" like? jsqt OP I believe Eli on diyaudio is quite clued up, from pass posts I’ve read, combining the feedback of both channels becomes an issue beside other things, here is what he says about paralleling tube amps. "Very few amps work well, with simple p... | |
| Transformer coupled vs Capacitor coupled? Tim de Paravicini uses transformers on the balanced/XLR inputs and outputs of his EAR-Yoshino 868 and 912 pre-amps, but of course not on the RCA’s. I’m not 100% sure (please correct me) but I was told once, that was just to get xlr input and an o... | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses Pass uses fuses on their lower powered amps and breakers on their higher power Yes normal quality industry standard $2 fuses, no voodoo fuses for Mr Pass. Cheers George |
