| Kronos vs TW Acoustic I went from a TW Acustic Raven One to a Kronos Pro Limited. Night and day difference. | |
| Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8 Congrats. I'm sure you will love it.If you think the 30.8's were tough, try a pair of 160.8's! | |
| Line Preamp Pass XP 20 or VTL 6.5 Signature Maybe you're reacting to solid state versus tubes. Tubes typically emphasize the midrange over a more linear presentation. | |
| Phono Stage Pass XP 15 VS Aesthetix Rhea Very different products. One is tube, one is solid state. I would choose based on that. | |
| Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room I'll put in my 2 cents. I'm going to try and be objective and fair here (even though like everyone I have my biases).I just sold my Alexias. Before that I owned Sashas (and still own Sophia 2's in my home theater).My friend owns Vandersteen 5A's w... | |

| Who did hear the new Pass Labs .8 series amps? I have the XA160.8's (to potentially replace my 160.5's).They are very different from the .5's. Much deeper bass, thicker presentation. Much darker sounding overall.Mine have about 280 hours on them and may not be fully broken in. | |
| Transparent interconnects burn in time? If any? Absolutely.It's a roller coaster ride for the first week. | |
| Wilson Alexia - what's the competition I also agree that Vandy 7's, Vivid G3's, Rockport Aviors all deserve a listen. |
