| How big a change would this upgrade make? unless you are loving something that tubes add to the sound of your system, going direct from either PS Audio piece to the Pass would seem a logical step to try. You might end up being completely satisfied with your current DAC and be able to SELL... | |
| What would you upgrade? something like the NuPrime IDA16 would take care of your DAC and amplification needs ... brand new so you would be hard pressed to find a USED model but maybe a demo ... list is just over $2k I believeleaves a good chunk of change for speakers BUT... | |
| Which dig source,passive front-end,ICs,amp combo? one of the best passives I have used was from Reference Line ... in the right system a passive can be spectacular! depends much more on the source and amp than the speakers though ...

| How far have you gone? longest I ever had anyone drive to pick-up something I was selling was Detroit MI to Stroudsburg PA (8hr, 550mi - one way) this for a pair of a/d/s L520's for less than $300 ... he was a collector of all things a/d/s and mine were mint :) | |
| Speaker recommendations for large family room the Guru 10 is designed for placement near or against the wall and is reputed to have good bass (I have not heard them) ... a classic speaker i HAVE heard placed against a wall that sounds AMAZING is the EPI 20+ ... not many of them on the market ... | |
| Poll...Ayre V3 versus Pass Labs X250..... I would need to see a pic of Bruce's wife to make the call ... on the looks side of things with the amps, the Pass gets my vote! look at those love handles!! | |
| High-Efficiency Single Driver Speaker System If you list where you live I would bet there may be a member near-by who would invite you over to hear what one of these systems can do ... | |
