| Pass labs upgrade path Just to make certain that I was not out of my head prior to ditching the Pass preamp, I inserted a borrowed McIntosh C2300 into my system to see how it would behave. Even with the "homogenized" sound profile of the Mac Preamp, the Pass amps came t... | |
| Pass labs upgrade path When I owned the XA60.8 followed by the XA160.8 paired with the XP20 I could not understand why two fantastic amps could be so underwhelming. I replaced the XP20 with the XP30 and still was far from impressed. Could it be the Pass preamps?! I inse... | |
| Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good? So the Roon Remote and Roon Core are two separate entities each of which require a subscription?! Not the most easy of platforms to install or understand... | |
| Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good? Isn't my Lumin the "core"? | |
| Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good? This should not be so challenging. I bit the bullet and signed up for Roon to feed my T2 using my iPad to listen to Tidal. Roon is looking for my Roon Core. What the flip is that and how do I access it?! | |
| Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good? Sweet Moses...jumia, you are correct! After less then two hours with my T2, the app interface is awful. You would think that Lumin would take better notice of what its end users are saying about their product. I have to believe that a fair amount ... | |
| Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good? Extremely grateful for this tutorial, nosualc...I will give it a try once received tomorrow. Very excited to take my streaming to a higher level. Cheers and happy listening! Brian | |
| Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good? I am a streaming novice about to take delivery of a new(to me) Lumin T2. Previously I streamed Tidal through a DAC using my MacBook and a USB cable, so I am looking forward to the sonic improvements that taking the MacBook out of the chain will pr... | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week Jay, As a fellow audiophile who currently has a Model 16(as well as a Model 11), skip the hassle and agonizing between the 8 and the 16 and go straight for the model you will eventually end up with and love. The 16 that I have in my system now... | |
| Looking for a preamp with XLR connections Pass on Pass! Their amps are fantastic. Their preamps are anemic and less than exciting...I have had both the XP-20 and XP-30 and went back to a tube based preamp. With both the Pass preamps I had Pass amps paired to them and was underwhelmed to s... | |
| Which would you choose for good sounding tube preamp for an audiophile new to tubes. I agree with mesch, QS is quality gear, but Aric Audio should be your next consideration! Superb sounding preamps/line stages and unbeatable customer service is why the only piece of gear to remain on my rack after all other components have ben sw... | |
| Advice from Audiogon family - best speaker $3k-$4k For a nominal investment of no more than $1000, look for a pair of PSB Stratus Gold's (not the i's, however). They will sound like a speaker costing far more. I have a pair purchased by me in 2006 and I will never part with them in the event that ... | |
| What should I expect after installing a new power management system? Candidly, what you can expect is a smaller bank balance. If anything, invest in installing dedicated 20 amp circuits to each outlet used to power your system. | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 @smodtactical-Call Aric again, have him build you a Motherlode and get off the preamp carousel. No risk, all reward! I have mentioned before, The Motherlode is the only piece of gear I have remain in my rack since the first day of listen. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Ray, Aric, and my fellow audio brethren. For the last few years, I have been using the Shuguang Black Treasure 6SL7-Z tubes in my Aric Audio Motherlode and have enjoyed the sound and dynamics. Is anyone able to provide any A-B comparisons/detail b... |
