| Pass Labs cooling noise I have called Pass about the noise on my amp and they said it is normal while warming up or cooling down to hear the clinking just the heat sinks contracting and expanding | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? I just upgraded ( bought used unheard but read reviews) to an Ayre P5 XE and was totally blown away by the improvement in sound so yes an upgrade should make great difference . | |
| Image/soundstage and punch/bass Why not add a sub and you'll have it all. | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? I have a Pass X250.8 and it is wonderful in my system . I don't know where all this junk about heating a room comes from(I only wish). Yes they do run warm and you can feel some heat within a foot or so of the amp. Another great thing is the high ... | |
| Entry level turntable for my son Check out U- Turn audio very affordable and American made with great reviews. The company was started a few years ago by some high school students. | |

Emphasis was placed in looks and theatrics and sexualityinstead of quality music. The Beatles lps were looked forward to and all the songs were devoured because they meant somethi... | |
| picking speakers (and electronics) for a relatively large room - new As someone above mentioned I would definitely be looking at Magnepan 3.7i ( or the 20.7 if budget permits)with a couple of good subs. You could power them with a Pass 250.8 and a good pre or a Pass integrated and have great sound. I know it would ... | |
| Hal Blaine Played on many monumental records, enjoyed his cars, boats and homes while staying low key. A Massachusetts original. RIP. | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? I agree with the Jimmy Miller Beggars/ let it Bleed and Sticky being good sounding and involving. | |
| Parasound Halo Integrated vs Yamaha AS2100 The fatigue is puzzling. I had the Halo playing Maggie 1.7I for hours always sounded great, even my classically trained musician friend would listen and express amazement at how good it sounded. | |
