| pass labs x350.5 and arc ref 5se - impedence mismatch? I am currently using an ARC Ref 5 with a pair of Pass Labs XA-100.5 mono-block amps with very good results. | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? I'm happy to read that your patience has paid off.I would leave the Pass Labs X350.5 plugged directly into the wall. | |
| Vitus SIA-025 Mk2... Does it run hot in class-A? You will never find anything of value from Archimago's Musings.All "Musers" have their followers though, even Alex Jones. | |
| Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio Because we cannot yet scientifically measure observable phenomena, does not mean such phenomena do not exist. In other words, it is entirely possible the ear is capable of perceiving sonic subtleties that current acoustical testing may not be ... | |

| Fair price for my Wilson Audio Sophia 2 Speakers Since you didn't take the shipping crates, and you are forced to sell locally, I would guesstimate that your asking price would be in the low end of the range. Throwing away original packaging material is the same as throwing away money.I would su... | |
| Looking for a reasonably priced good quality interconnect Look at the thread about Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme cables.Fairly good for not a whole lot of money.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/cerious-technologies-new-graphene-cables | |
| Best monoblock amps for $2000 used I'm curious as to why you want to go for monoblock amps on a limited budget.Generally, you get more bang for your buck with fewer chassis'.I would think that $2000 would get you a better stereo amp than monoblock amps. $2500 would probably get you... | |
| Integrated Amplifier For PSB Synchrony 1B Look for a used BAT VK-300SE integrated amp.Should be able to find one for ~ $3000. | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? As I said earlier: A Cary/CJ preamp and some Purist Audio or Kubala-Sosna cables could save the S5's. Also,looking at the pictures, there is a nice spot on that top shelf - right side for a turntable. ;^) | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? Well Magico speakers have a reputation for being very revealing speakers.I am familiar with your amp, and yes it is known to be a warmer sounding amp.I am not familiar with your source though. Perhaps you may be better off with a tubed DAC, like a... | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? BAT VK-51SEBAT VK-32SECJ ET3SECJ CT-6Any thoughts - think I'm leaning toward the BAT VK-32SE I called BAT they said its the sweetest of the BATS and have same bass and dynamics as the others. The 51SE a little more neutral but the Magico's s... | |
| What direction is VPI headed? I'm pretty happy with my Prime, and I've had no issues at all with the 3D arm, it's great!That said, I can't imagine moving to a Prime Signature, as I prefer the feet better on the stock Prime, as well as the wiring. I've tried the Nordost wiring ... |
