| Review: Audio Research Corporation HD 220 Amplifier Dave, I'd be very intrigued if you managed to listen to your HD220 powered by an Elrod Statement or a Purist Anniversary PC. | |
| tube question for ARC Ref 3 users PBB, actually I had heard that the pros at ARC switched to 6550C because of non-pro customer findings. | |
| tube question for ARC Ref 3 users ARC initially shipped Ref 3 with 6L6G in power supply. They soon switched to 6550C. They apparently found it to be more extended/resolving and to controll bass better. | |
| New Pass Labs X.5 series versus previous X series Magichandslarry, did you perceive any other difference between X350.5 and X600.5 except for power? Please elaborate. What is the rest of your system? What music do you listen to? | |
| New Pass Labs X.5 series versus previous X series hocklin, have you considered calling Pass Labs directly? Folks at Pass are extremely helpful. Try:Pass Laboratories, PO 219, Foresthill, CA 95631 -Voice: 530. 367. 3690 -Fax: 530. 367. 2193 -www. passlabs. com have a chat with Kent and let us know... | |
| New Pass Labs X.5 series versus previous X series Apologies to all. . . I corrected my previous post. I meant to say that the x600 was likely to be found a little leaner, not the 'x600.5'. Clearly a 'ooops!' | |
| New Pass Labs X.5 series versus previous X series hocklin, I suspect you may find the old X600 to have greater authority and to be slightly leaner, while the newer X350.5 to have greater refinement, delicacy and control. | |
| Review: Sonus Faber Cremona Speaker Brphilharmoniker, you mentioned that Mahlers were too big for your room. What is your listening room size? I have heard the Mahlers last fall in Denver at the Audiofest driven by the new Rowland 312. . . the sound was to die for. I listen almost e... | |
| purist vs. concierto vs. elrod vs dcca power cable MRT, that's what I thought. And what would you call a PCS displaying such slight flare in the mid/upper-bass frequencies and being otherwise extended/flat elsewhere? | |
| purist vs. concierto vs. elrod vs dcca power cable MRT, are you suggesting any bloom in upper bass and midrange is always matched by a corresponding attenuation of energy in the treble? | |
| Best CD player money can buy ? MBL, Nagra, Naim? At the same list price of the single box APL NWO 2.5T -- which is a heavily modified TEAC UX-1 or X-01, you can also buy the newest twin box player from TEAC: the P03/D03. I have auditioned it a couple of times already, and it is a stunningly soun... | |
| Break in period Hi Shadorne, you are in fact absolutely right. . . there is almost a feeling of ancient magic to the hobby. . . . Some of it, perhaps like break in -- may be in part due to things our instruments have still problems measuring, as well as to the oc... | |
| Break in period Offense? That would be a little difficult Shadorne. I am rather enjoying your astute game of raising false targets, logical decoys, examples out of context, subtly corrupted induction steps, . . and projections of wishful thinking a priori of real... | |
| Break in period I am not sure what Krytrons have to do with the price of wheat in Alaska, or with audiophile-grade audio or even Radio Shack-grade audio electronics, for all it matters. Krytrons, made by EG&G or Perkin Elmer are high precision / high voltage ... | |
| Any Comparisons between VTL 7.5 & ARC Ref 3 Sherod, unfortunately a direct a/b session may be difficult. I live in Austin (Tx) and Pscialli's system is in Fairfax (Va). Taking my REF 3 along during one of my periodic visits is not feasible. |
