| Preamp Deal of the Century @ markusthenaimnut we should try and connect. I have two 2 channel systems going and am setting up a third in a spare bedroom. | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 I bought an open box RS2 transport from Music Direct and it was a lemon. It had great trouble locking on disc's. The problem was present when it came in but got progressively worse to the point that I had to return it. Jays audio transport is b... | |
| LSA Voyager Gan 350 The Voyager GAN to my ears mostly errs on the omission error side. They are mostly deficient in bass slam. Otherwise, they are really good. I suspect after talking with Walter Leiderman that his subsequent offerings will address this issue. | |
| Spatial X5 speakers @ hilde45 I have collected some excess stereo equipment intentionally. I love the Pass Lab amps. To my ear, they do solid state right. I actually have another Pass Lab X250.5 amp that will be returned to me after mods after the first of the ye... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers I do plan on inserting the Pass Labs amp just to see how it sounds. However, it was just modded so more parts to break in. Yuk.... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers @decooney I now have close to 300 hours on the speakers. They for sure are real keepers. They just keeping better. I agree with Don Sachs, the X5's disappear. | |
| Spatial X5 speakers @tyray I had a pair of Revel F208s that were modded by Doug Jesse of ASi Teknology. They were awesome speakers. However, being an audiophile that is just not enough.... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers @jerryg123 my listening room is about 14 × 23, standard ceiling height | |
| Pairing Spatial Audio X-5's with ADG Audion Mono Blocks @jjss49 u are correct about the tweeter. Some songs reveal their harshness which is clearly getting better with break in. I am now about 270 hours in on my Spatial X5s. Looking forward to the sound I anticipate around 500 hours. Nevertheless, ... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers @hilde45, right now it's a moving target. The Don Sachs amp sounded better than the Voyager GAN, however. The Voyager was used mostly during their first one hundred hours of play. The X5s have improved considerably while powered by the Sahs amp.... | |
| Pairing Spatial Audio X-5's with ADG Audion Mono Blocks Be patient with the X5s. It took close to 150 hours to start getting recognizable open baffle bass and midrange liquidity. I am very pleased with them but patience is required. I have used the Voyager GAN 350 wpc class D amp and now have the Do... | |
| Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts? The Holo Audio Spring DAC is the best dac I have ever had in any of my systems. I have owned north of 20 over the years. | |
| Tube Vs. SS Preamps SPL Elector is a solid state preamp that does a nice job of mimicking an excellent tube preamp. Beautiful, airy, textured sound with great tone colors. Also, clear as a bell... | |
| Why not more popular? Just got my x5's set up yesterday. With only 12 hours of play time they sound very promising. They have a big, expansive rich textured sound thus far. | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 I got the LTA power supply and it is light years better than the stock wall wart on the RS2 transport. I got the Sbooster power supply for the Project DS2 transport but have not yet hooked it up. |
