| Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8 Thanks Madfloyd. I can't imagine myself setting up a pair of XA160.8 by myself. :oBy the way, I enjoyed reading yours and Peter's comparison of XA160.5 and XA160.8 on WBF a lot. I always wanted to ask you what prompted you to move to Magico S5 fro... | |
| Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8 So, finally XA30.8 is in the rig today. It was one tough job to unbox and have it set up alone. It's a brand new unit and can't wait until it's fully broken in. | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Hi Bacardi, funny how you mentioned that. D8s are now at about 270 hr and I was just wondering earlier, before I read your post, where all this volume increase and bass extension coming from. lol It is much louder now for the same volume setting I... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Hi Lak (and Ozzy),D8's are now at about 150 hr. I haven't really had time to sit down and listen for long stretches but the reason I said "500 hours" to go is based on info from people on this post and my own experience with D5 SC's break in. D8's... | |
| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? So which speakers did you end up getting? Please tell me Scala II. :p | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... HD SC D8 arrived today. 500 hours to go. :( | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... I currently use HD D5 SC, which is preferable over Nordost Frey in my system. Can't wait for D8 to arrive. | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Thank you for all the info, guys. Second P4 is now on the Pass pre-amp (another P4 is from wall to power regenerator), the improvement is not subtle at all. Feel like a very worthwhile improvement. I ordered a set of D8 speaker cables also and wil... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Hi first time posting on this thread. Looking for info on HFC digital RCA cable CT1-E or CT1-U if anyone has tried them. Thanks in advance. I currently use HiDiamond digital reference RCA cable. | |
| Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8 Hi Sonicray,I had high expectation on HD P4 because of all the HiDiamond threads that praise P4 highly and my own experience with P3. After some settling time in my system (I bought it used) which is about 7-10 days, not continuously playing music... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Thank you guys for the reply. Another P4 is on the way, I'm thinking it'd go to the pre-amp. I will also try it on the DAC or amp as well. But my system is 2-channel/HT and pre-amp is where everything meet, including the sub (I use RCA output for ... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Hi Lak,Thanks for the info. The system starts to settle in last night after P4 has been in the system for about 6 days. I have no idea how much actual music playing time I had put on, but I do have my class A amp running 24/7. The system has never... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Anyone has experience with "settling time" of a used P4? I have full loom of P3s (all bought new) and just inserted a used P4 (main PC - wall to the power regenerator) for about 5 days now. The improvement is immediate but at the same time I could... | |
| Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8 Hi Sonicray,Thanks again for sharing your experience and thoughts. I did email Pass Labs and had a few email exchanges with Desmond. What he explained in general is that "Point 8 has a single-ended current source that skews everything. XA30.8 will... | |
| Pass/musical fidelity for focal scala Hi Didi,Zd has a point. Especially with the speakers that you have bought. Scala (I'm not sure what you have is V1 or V2) but nonetheless, it's a well-built, sonically wonderful speaker, provided it has "equivalent" gears along the signal chain to... |
