| Pass X-250.8, X-250.5 or XA-30.8...or? The pass monoblocks got better over time gradually because I made changes to room acoustics as well as cabling and vibration control devices. This got me 80 percent to total happiness. I then changed my turntable cartridge from lyra kleos to koe... | |

Sure it could be perception bias or lot of other subjective th... | |
| Does high end system with dedicated circuits need grounding products Well despite my low expectations I am going to try the SR Active Block SE to add to my dedicated circuits and power conditioner and see if I like the addition.The only reason that I am willing to risk it frankly is because I can return it.I am gue... | |

I know it provides a lower price point but always feel you need the Galileo to power it...at least in my system. ..then again I us... | |
| Harbeth 40.2 depending on the music and how was mastered sitting at tweeter level can make it more or less enjoyable....sure it meant to be at tweeter level all else being equal but the synergy of the rest of the room affects that too.I found the synergy of mo... | |
| can anyone recommend a person in LA area to pay to install a tricky Koetsu cartridge Thanks for all the good ideas....was a bear to get done today and david swore mightily how much a pain the koetsu the helius arm and rock 7 combo was to install together.....Sounds great though 😁 | |
