| Cd's to make a come back in the future? I explore new music on youtube, old unreleased music too. | |
| Which courier do you prefer? And only USPS delivers to PO BOX, I guess.Pack especially well for UPS and FedEx and then double it. They can be very rough with packages. | |
| Cd's to make a come back in the future? 2. Sometimes records are just as inexpensive and sometimes they are very expensive3. Not everything can be found on cds but a lot.5. No way, totally wrong. Besides, transport is at least as important as dac, some people don't know it. | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? Bass resonance must be present if recorded, just as body and resonance of other instruments in other frequencies. It should not be bloated unless, again, that's how it was recorded.Yeah, as I like to think, the biggest audiophile mistake is not to... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? So, so far no real weak points, just a few minor weaker points.But no-one described Pass Class A and Class AB differences in details yet. Anyway, one can get Pass pre/power amps used for $5k-$6k for both. Pretty good. | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? audiotroy, please, enough of your participation, we get all your points even before you posted. If you want to advertise yourself in this thread - pay us, cost - $1 per letter. If you disagree - get the f. out. | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? I would not run them 24/7 and where I live it is often chilly except in summer so I would just turn the oil heater off and have the amps do the heating. In summer, yeah, but the equipment is in a living room with windows, some extra heat would not... | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? By all accounts, not from my personal experience, current Gryphon's phono stage module is absolutely best compared to any other solid state integrated. At the very least, it is a very very good phono stage.Sure, great separate tube or transistor p... | |
| Cd's to make a come back in the future? There used to be a member here from Munich, Germany, with five or so Studer open reel decks in perfect condition, and he said he played them all. There was a picture of his listening room - very impressive.As for cds, first of all it is unknown ho... | |
| Where to go from XP-15? XP-17? XP-25? It appears that Pass could've used better quality parts, unless you modify sound to your liking which might not be to everyone's. | |
| Is vintage audio better? I'm starting to look at current (modern) and non-US audio. If you mean top level, with very few possible exceptions solid state is firmly European. As for tube equipment, there are great brands in the US, Canada, Europe, Japan and Allnic in South Korea.Vintage is another subject. | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? If your funds are good you might consider getting $2500 phono as well. You may not need it now but who knows about the future ? And also, if you ever decide to sell the Diablo this will add value in many cases. With both phono and dac this will be... | |
| What is your experience with the law of diminishing returns ? I will give an example within my current system. Power cords, yes again. One is Purist Dominus used to have $2100 retail price, another Top Gun by CPCC used to cost $800.If I compare them on the integrated amp the sound difference is big enough to... | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? Yeah, interesting. My guess is that Diablo 300 will win in all cases except maybe where for some reason you want active preamp, Diablo's preamp section is passive.I myself would not compare Diablo 300 to used Pass separates, I would compare it to ... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? ebm used to have Pass so it has to be great, no room for anything negative no matter how little. |
