| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 Aric Audio! Before I acquired the Coda Model 16, I had Aric's Motherlode paired with Pass XA60.8's and XA160.8's, and the results were sublime! Wonderful clarity, without being bright and the warmth I was seeking to round out the solid state slam.... | |

I suppose I was trying to save myself from all the negativity and gear bashing th... | |
| Improvement of MacBook Air for Streaming Tidal Jim, I appreciate the advice and am looking into it. Ridiculous question #2- Where does the streamer fit into my current configuration? Is Tidal still controlled by my MacBook? I ask because I look at these streamers and see no screen or platf... | |

| MCINTOSH MC601 VERSUS PASS LABS X350.8 Zorro- I have had the following McIntosh SS amps, MC150 MC300 MC501 (monos) MC601 (like yours) I was a Mac guy for years until I bought the Pass XA60.8, then the XA 100.8, and then the XA 160.8. Once I heard what Pass did better than Mac ... | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier You are not sounding harsh, and your English is far better than many of the native English speakers that haunt this forum. I am merely suggesting that the Threshold is a fine solid state amp amp that might be a better candidate for a moderately pr... | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier The OP appears dead set on a Pass Labs preamp, despite many suggesting otherwise for a multitude of reasons. Allow him to learn first hand as we have all have(unfortunately) done in our individual pursuit of audio nirvana. | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier I went from Pass Labs preamps to Aric Audio's original Motherlode preamp and could not be happier!
