| Your Worst Audio Breakdown Yes, ive had a similar experiences. But the main thing is to learn from them. in a previous post i mentioned an experience with a pass amp and a mj acoustics subwoofer. i still use a pass amp because my failing to understand the instructions was n... | |
| Your Worst Audio Breakdown I once attached a subwooker to a pass labs x350 power amp incorrectly. i did not understand the manuals instructions to be honest. pass really should include diagrams and warnings which are clear, not commentary type instructions. the amp died and... | |
| Preamp function. Dtc, than you for the detailed response. it is very useful to me in understanding what a preamp is. even the musical fidelity a3cr, now old but certainly with merits- i purchsed this unit 10 yrs ago, did something very nice to the sound. i really ... | |
| Preamp function. Thank you all for explaining what a preamplifier is. i now have a better understanding. i appreciate the detailed responses. i had been using the droplet direct for a long while. the a3cr, while no match for the pass, did something to the sound wh... | |
| Stereo and Fish tanks - noisy need help hi. i run a 6 foot by 3 foot tank in my listening room. the tank is tropical set up and has three power filters keeping the water clean. the power pumps are housed in cabinets below the tank. they are fluval pumps so by no means top of the range, ... | |
| Is there any truth to this question? Hi. i once had a pass x350 ( very powerful ) which i replaced with a newer much lowered pass amp. dealers say powerful amps present the music more effortlessly. my expereience is that this is not the case at all. | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. Thank you. ill look into the ref three. I read the reviews for ref 5 and it suggests sound of a very high calibre. Im also considering atma spher mp3. Would anyone know if this preamp would work with the pass? i have leant from here that impedence... | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. Thank you for reply. ive also been considering a tube preamplifier as a next step. that would also enable to keep the pass. do you or anyone else have sugesstions as to which ones would be in a similar league to the pass. cd player and pass have b... | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. Thank you. with the help of forum users here i have shortlisted : Atmasphere, ear, almarro, opera consonance ( some may view this as odd choice, but the droplet cd player i have sounds very good indeed and has proven to be reliable over past few y... | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. Hi everyone. From some of the responses here, it seems the pass xa30.5 has greater power output than 30 watts. i am still looking at valve amplifiers am aware now that a move to valve amplification may be, at best, a sideways move. Im hoping to he... | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. Thanks. Thats very interesting. The amount of sound it produces, it certainly sounds far more powerful than 30 watts. | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. hi. isnt the pass xa30.5 pure class a? i thought it was. | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. my zingalis go really loud. they are 92 db and 8 ohm. i really cant imagine anyone playing louder, unless they have a very large room. i play all kinds of music from soft female vocals, electronic,jazz instrumental,pop, quality hard rock ( queens ... | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. Thank you for the advice. I appreciate your honest views. Thats been in the back of my mind too- going downwards or sideways. something i want to avoid, of course. in fact a dealer who i contacted regarding an almarro 318b, hinted the same, so am ... | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. thank you for the response. im pretty sure my zingalis will be able to be driven by the s30. i will double check with the dealer. with 30 watts from the pass it can go really loud.yes, lots of people have moved over to them in the uk too , it seem... |
