Help finding me an amp for my Revel Ultima Salon 2s
Thanks for the input elevick. Not sure why you think i am a Class A guy. Quite the opposite. That's why the EVO's rang my bell so loudly. I agree, I need BIG power and a tight grip on those speakers. I believe that is what made the Krell such a pe... 
Is Agon becoming the eBay of audio?
Never had so many flaky buyers as I have recently. All they want is a huge discount then they never even complete the deal. cannot believe how much time I have wasted recently with these people. 
Pass Labs Power amps choices
Thanks ebm.Any other thoughts would be welcome. 
Pass X-250.8, X-250.5 or XA-30.8...or?
Thanks.He said that they were voiced slightly differently and that the 250 was more Jazz and the 350 more Rock. But mainly that the Revels would be very happy with the 250's output, even in my large space.It's going to be good to get Mr.Pass back ... 
Pass X-250.8, X-250.5 or XA-30.8...or?
I just had a really nice and educational chat with Mark@Reno HiFi. And his recommendation was for a X250.8. He thinks it is more than powerful enough for my Revels and would match my taste in music better than the 350.8. He has a pair too so I gue...

Mahalo George.Very enlightening but still confusing :-) 
Pass X-250.8, X-250.5 or XA-30.8...or?
Many thanks for the input.It's a fairly large space.......hexagonal with 18' long walls so I'm reading that you all think a 350 would be a better choice.I would like monos but it's not really practical in my situation.Is there a lot of difference ...

REVIEW: Schiit Bifrost DAC
Anyone out there compared the Bifrost uber to the Wyred 4 Sound Dac-1? 
Cart recommendations for Fidelity Research FR-64S
I use Dynavectors with great results on my FR-64fx.I particularly like the 17D. It has a lovely musicality to it, it was not at all rounded off and the price is just right.I would also suggest one of the MM carts from The Soundsmith. Maybe the Aid... 
SME owners, what is your table sitting on?
Well I ended up purchasing Finite Elemente Pagode Master Reference shelf and boy, what a great piece of gear it is.It sure isn't cheap but the engineering, fit and finish are absolutely top notch. Basically the whole outer shelf is hung on the wal... 
SME 20 SME V cartridge
Give the Sound Smith a call. I have his Strain Gauge on my 20/12A and it is simply stunning. His MM cartridges are very close from what I have heard.Congrats on the purchase. You are in for a wonderful ride! 
Which Digital Level Gauge to buy?
Dougdeacon.I agree with your comments.Certainly about the phone apps.That's why I would love to find a level table to see how accurate this app/phone is.And yes, you really can get a good result from a bubble level but I would suggest not nearly c... 
Which Digital Level Gauge to buy?
I just downloaded a twin axis level app called Gyro Level.It works from the internal gyroscope in the iPhone so does not need calibrating.It aligns using gravity.I would love to find a level table to check it on as this thing could be the $0.99 an... 
Which Digital Level Gauge to buy?
There are over 20 Apps for levels in the App Store.The problem with the App levels is that they all need calibrating. So who has a 100% level surface to do that on? They might get you closer than a regular carpenters bubble but from what I have re...
