| Is your Pass X250 dead silent or slightly buzzing? It's not related to Class A circuitry, that much I can tell you. I've owned Class A amps from 2 different manufacturers in the last 4 years, and haven't experienced that problem. As far as I know the Pass X-250 is not Class A anyway. It sounds lik... | |
| Will Wadio ever make an SACD player? Don't forget DAT. You're right, Sony does seem to specialize in failed formats. Not bad formats technically, but they don't know how to support it. I've read where they do it on purpose. They would rather have the pond to themselves and have it dr... | |
| Will Wadio ever make an SACD player? Not enough sales because software never really supported the format. It's a shame really. | |
| Where will audio be in 10 years? Probably very similar to today, socially. The gadgets will change, but there still will be audiophiles and the general public. The two groups won't homoginize, nor vanish. | |
| Wife approval factor? You're not married yet, so it's too soon to judge if you're lucky or not. My girlfriends and mother all loved my gear too. It's different with the wife, because she feels you're spending HER money. Money was never an issue with mom and girlfriends... | |
| Plinius M16 Phono vs. Plinius M14 Separate Phono Trevor, yes 60 db should be plenty of gain for a 0.48mV output.Cheers,John | |
| Plinius M16 Phono vs. Plinius M14 Separate Phono Trevor,My mistake, I didn't read your system componants closely enough. I was thrown by the 'new to vinyl' first line. Forgive me. I guess your problem is you're not satisfied with the gain from your current setup. There are two ways to address th... | |
| How about a new addition to every posting made? I like it. It may give a chance to open some other discussions, more music related than the typical 'What preamp power cord supporting device should I use?' threads.BTW, I'm currently spinning John Coltrane's Lush Life. On Licorice Pizza of course... | |
| Rich sounding line conditioners? Shunyata Hydra, period. Enjoy the music.John | |
| Upgrade or sell ARC LS-15 ? You should be able to get a LS-25 for $2000-$2500. I would go this route, personally. I've gone the mod route before, and although it does make an improvement, you won't recover as much of your money should the upgrade bug bite again. Generally sp... | |
| Plinius M16 Phono vs. Plinius M14 Separate Phono Trevor,If you're new to vinyl, the built in phono card can be a good start. It will allow you to spend your finances on turntable/arm/cartridge first and foremost. I started with a Clase CP-60 w/ built in phono stage, it served me nicely for a cou... | |
| Last 4 Years - Votes for Best Speaker Ever Heard Have some spare time on your hands? Run out of pocket lint to pick? No paint to watch dry? No grass to watch growing?I'm jealous.Good job. | |
| Life expectancy of Interconnects & Speaker Cable? I would guess life expectancy of a well built cable to be around 100 years, give or take. Rough handling could decrease this time drastically.I don't believe there has been any tremendous improvement in cable design in the last 5 years. The only '... |
