| Conrad-Johnson LP66S Amp? Onemug,FYI; thanks for the information, it's good to hear from someone that has the same amp. I now have an Allnis T1500a Integrated 300B amp ordered. | |
| Pass X150.5 vs. X250.5 Acurus makes a very important point and I agree 100%.What is the location of your volume control knob? Does your meter move from class A to AB? | |
| Tube preamp for Pass Labs amp I agree with Pdreher. I use the Calypso with NOS tubes also, with my Pass Lab XA 30.5, works very well. I'm sure there are many preamps what would also work very well. | |

| dedicated line: 10AWG stranded or 2 solid cores? Lewinskih01,I'm not sure that it really matters if you use solid or stranded wire for any of the wiring as long as it's 10 gauge, I have not been able to hear a difference.I'd say the spacing should be between 2 to 3 inches but it's been six years... | |
| dedicated line: 10AWG stranded or 2 solid cores? Twist the wires (two plus ground) together for a noise canceling effect and run in conduit.Make sure you have more wire then you need because by twisting the wire together it reduces the length. Place all three strands into the end of an electric ... | |
| Setting up monoblocks Nsgarch is on the ball :-) | |
| Preamp or Not Espoverload,I'd be curious to for you to report back to us any type of change you hear assuming to try a pair of the XLR interconnects. | |
| Gabriel Gold vs Marigo vs NBS Very interesting reading :-)! | |
