Dynaudio C1 II vs Focal Micro BE vs Harbeth SHL5
Hi Jeff, I once used 60wpc (into 4 ohms) class A Pass amp on C1 Sigs. Meter doesn't move at very loud level (means amp stays in class A).

Thanks for the unbiased, insightful and intimate review, Michael. I enjoy reading it. It deserves a new thread. 
What is the best power cord for pass labs xa100.5?
Jerrypan, have you had a chance to try out other powercords with the Pass amp?Correo, I'm thinking of getting a PS AC12 for my XA30.5/XP-10. Is your amp Pass as well?I wonder if Rrog has ever tried an aftermarket powercord? If he hasn't (none of h... 
Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers?
Hi Chuck, congrats on INT30A! As mentioned, IME, Focal Be and Pass class A are a match made in audio nirvana. With that air and energy at high frequency with a touch of sweetness leading the way, everything becomes very transparent, clear and sedu... 
Electrocompaniet ECD-2 dac
Thanks. What was your impression when you heard it, Rhmm? 
Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95
How is Modwright 105 SPDIF inputs (use as standalone dac)? I assume most of you are using it as CD player or through a flash drive. 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
Schw06, how's the line stage on DP-777? I currently have Pass XP-10 line stage and wondering if DP-777 can replace XP-10 + Metrum. Most DACs that come with volume control are digital, unlike DP-777. 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
So Gopher, in your opinion, which dac would be an upgrade from Metrum Octave? I currently have Metrum and looking to make a change. I do not need a lot of features (volumn control, USB in, etc) as long as there's a couple of SPDIF ins and RCA outs... 
Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers?
Congrats on the purchase Chuck. Let's us know how it is compared to your Cary. I know it's tube vs. ss, but I think it'd still be very interesting. 
Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers?
Sorry to hear your tube blowing up incident. That doesn't sound pretty.What you said is exactly the reason I went with XA30.5 and XP-10 combo. XA.5 amp input impedance isn't very high and I also felt XP-10 might just be the best matching ss pre. I... 
Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers?
I like XP-10 a lot (granted never had a tube pre in my rig and that's one of the things I'd like to try sooner than later). Haven't heard XP-20 but based on my experience with the 10 and what ppl told me, 20 should be an amazing piece. Obviously X... 
Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers?
Hi Chuck, I have Pass XP-10 pre. My music preference are rock, jazz (vocal), EDM and some classical. 
Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers?
Fiddle, INT30A! That's one sweet sounding amp. I have XA30.5 and Desmond of Pass once told me its actual output is closer to 60 watts class A into 8 ohms. Czbbcl, Focal Be and Pass class A are quite an amazing match. I had 1008Be and now 1028Be, b... 
Dynaudio C1 and Pass amp
Xti, you know what I'd wish? A medium size between C1 and C2. Something like C1 + a bass driver from C4. :p
