| Need help fast - Unbalanced Preamp to Balanced Amp A great option here is Burly cables, made by Pass.http://renohifi.com/burley.html | |
| Preamps w/HT BYPASS that works when preamp is OFF. Some Audio Valve Eclipse/Eklipse's. | |
| BAT VK-600 vs Pass XA100.5 Thanks for updating your observations, Rtn1 (and you too, Dob).I love my Joule LA-150 SE but I do wish the bass was better. | |
| Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha Interesting thread. I haven't heard a Thiel for 20 years and my memory of it back then was 'all midrange' (certainly no bass).As someone who just placed an order for a pair of Sashas, hoping it will be my last speaker, the comments about the Thiel... | |
| Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha James63,The Sasha goes down MUCH deeper than the Sophia 2. Not even close, even with the Sasha ports stuffed. | |
| BAT VK-600 vs Pass XA100.5 Yet another thought, Rtn1: Did you switch the output impedence of the LA-300 so that it's at its lower setting? I think you should do this if you're using the Pass amps. | |
| BAT VK-600 vs Pass XA100.5 Rtn1, have you tried a BAT amp with the REX? | |
| BAT VK-600 vs Pass XA100.5 Hmm, I was hoping the LA300 would be even better in the bass than what I have, so that's disapointing.I hate tradeoffs. :-) | |
| BAT VK-600 vs Pass XA100.5 Interesting. The Joule is highly regarded for its bass (at least that was the focus of Harry Pearsons review in TAS). Id love to try a BAT preamp (and hopefully will someday), but somehow Ive also got the impression (from reading posts here) th... | |
| BAT VK-600 vs Pass XA100.5 Joule Electra LA-150 SE / BAT VK-600 SEThere are some other electronics I'd love to try someday (e.g. BAT preamp, Spectron amps). | |
| Azimuth and the Fozgometer This sounds like a solid investment to me. That said, I can't seem to find any place that has these in stock.Anyone know differently? | |
| BAT VK-600 vs Pass XA100.5 There's nothing wrong with any of the items and I've tried them all with the Bat. I'm not selling them because they sounded 'bad', I bought some of them simply to audition to see if they bettered my current fav.Some I would prefer to keep (especia... | |
| PREAMP suggestions I think Lewinski's post offers some very good suggestions. I have the same amp as the OP and these are the tube preamps I would consider. | |
| BAT VK-600 vs Pass XA100.5 Well, I'm just saying what my ears are telling me, in my system, my room etc (although at least two other audiophiles agree that the Pass is warmer than the Bat in my system and that the Bat has better bass).From what I read, Class A sound is warm... | |
| BAT VK-600 vs Pass XA100.5 Tvad, when I compare these two amps, input inpedance had nothing to do with it.My main SS preamp is an H20 Fire, which has no problem driving the Pass.My other SS preamp is a Parasound JC-2. I've used many other preamps with the Pass as well, incl... |
