| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @jcarcopo Do you think there would be any problem in sitting closer? I have been kicking back and forth trying a pair of Tektons. I generally enjoy a more nearfield experience. Specifically, I sit about 6 feet away. Curious to see if the drivers h... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @jcarcopo How far do you sit from the Encores? | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Editing out of respect for the topic, and to keep it on track. | |
| Any thoughts on Pass X150.8 ? I would agree with DEP. The Pass Lab preamplifiers are great. Just a couple of months ago I upgraded to an XP-32 from an XP-22, and its the best preamplifier I have ever had to this point in my audiophile journey.Great tonality, resolution, dimens... | |
| X250.5 vs X250.8 There has been mixed comparisons between the .5 and the .8 amplifiers. Some like one versus the other depending on the speaker and system. Until last month, when I traded it in for an XP-32, I had a 22 for 18 months. It is a great preamplifier. I ... | |
| Pass labs x250.8 stereo amp in San Diego? I am an admitted Pass fanboy, and I have had great experience with Reno HiFi. Mark makes it really easy to audition equipment at home. He will ship you out a 250.8 and let you keep it for, I believe 10 days, to listen to it with your system.Worth... | |
| Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying Are there any plans for Lumin to incorporate digital inputs on any future products?Seems ridiculous to spend 14K on a DAC that can’t accept digital inputs. I use my system for different things other than just straight streaming music. A high qual... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? In my 10+ years stricken with the audiophile illness, I have learned that you should always keep an eye out towards resale value. You may keep something for 5-10 years, or you may not.I purchased many boutique products over the years that were sup... | |
| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok The X1 doesn't have any digital inputs. So, if you have any other source that needs to be converted, you are SOL. For that reason alone, as great as the Lumin may sound, it is missing critical features that the DCS has. | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr For what it’s worth, my old listening room was 11x18. I tried a multitude of dynamic speakers in that room, from line source, point source, sealed, and ported. Admittedly, I never tried dynamic OB. Every dynamic speaker I had in this well treated ... | |
| Soundlab A3s and thoughts. I’ve had my pair of Soundlabs M-645s for about 8 months now. They were brand new so newest bass focus panels and transformers. I still use a Pass Labs 350.8 for juice. They need the power. The bias is critical! This has to be set correctly before ... | |
| Why are there no Reviews of the Pass Labs XP-22. Is there anyone with strong feelings? I love mine. I had an XP-20 in a different system years ago so I can’t compare. Running my XP-22 into a 350.8 balanced and am quite content. | |
| ARC Ref 75 SE issues? Manleys amps were made the same way. When I had a pair of Neoclassic 250s, a tube took out a resistor. Manley would send you out the resistors with pre-soldered clips on them so you didn’t have to send it in. You took out the old resistor leaving ... | |
| Pass Labs HPA-1 Not quite the same comparison, but there was a period of 12 months about two years ago where I was strictly using headphones. I used the HPA-1 as my headphone amplifier. When I transitioned back to a proper 2 channel rig, I kept the HPA-1 for a wh... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? I think a lot of what makes a good “Metal’ speaker is what sound characteristics you enjoy in your presentation.i love metal of all variety, but when listening to metal at home, I tend to prefer fast transients, detail, and refinement.Listening to... |
