| Usher BE-10/20, what do you use to drive them? The system I heard in San Jose with the VTL monoblocks (SS) sounded amazingly good. On your next trip back here, make sure you stop by and give them a listen. I believe he has both BE-10 and -20 in store.They also used the NuForce amps. I only lis... | |
| Usher Be 718 or Kitty Kat Revelators? I just heard the BE-20 at a demo that our local audiophile society had put together. They were paired with VTL equipment and VPI HRX w/ Airtight cart. The system sounded phenomenal! If I had the room that could accommodate these, I would have give... | |

| Headphone Listeners? I went that route with my first born, removed the second system from the extra bedroom and turned it into a baby's room.Our music taste is roughly the same with focus on jazz. I just cannot stand listening to jazz with headphones. These days, my h... | |

Compares to the Transparent Ultra that I am currently using, I would say the following:1/ It has darker background (I guess that's what that actie shiel... | |
| Reference level cables that are 10-years old? buy? Just picked up the cables from San Francisco. I was incorrect, and they are not 10 years old. They are version 2 of those cables, all with active shield. So, maybe 5 years old or less?To be exact:Absolute Reference X2 XLR (1m): I believe this reta... | |
| Reference level cables that are 10-years old? buy? Hi Justlisten,These were sitting at the San Francisco store. They probably brought them over from Berkeley as they are in the process of moving to where dB Audio used to be or around that area.FrankC | |
| Pass Labs Aleph 3 vs Aleph-3 Clone What, clones? Now we have counterfeits in the high end audio as well?Sorry, couldn't resist. ;-) I was just watching a news clip where they were hosting this global summit on counterfeits, and they were displaying all types of counterfeits, includ... | |
| Are interconnect cables worth $15,000? Oh, good. I've been wondering just how to spend that $15,000 extra cash that's been burning a hole in my pocket. ;-PFrankC | |
| Three Cheers for Pass Labs It's good to know that Pass will take good care of me if anything happens. I had bought a X350.5 last year to replace my Levinson #333 after a bad experience I had dealing with Harmon. This is the second Pass amp in my "collection" as I also have ... | |
| Shortening my short list Thiel 3.6 vs VMPS rm30? I am currently playing with a pair of Edge G8+. They sound slightly thinner and leaner versus my Pass X350.5 with my Verity Parsifal Encores. I had a pair of Thiel 3.6 for 8 years prior to that, and 2.2 for 7 years before that.Yes, Thiel 3.6 in a ... | |

But the newsletter did not go into the details. I am sure if you browse around the PS Audio Forum, you will find tons of discu... | |
| 6922 Sovtek Variances ??? Who would have thought five years ago that one day we would be comparing various versions of Sovtek tubes and figuring out which one sounds better.....Just a random observation, as I had also realized that I have two types of Sovtek 6922s in my tu... | |
