Pathos Classic One MkIII vs. Krell S-300i
alexatpos - I definately couldn't describe the Krell in my system that way though it does have an overall warmer sound than the Pathos.  The Krell seems to have a more visceral presence that some might say leads to toe tapping.  The other thing th... 
Pathos Classic One MkIII vs. Krell S-300i
stereo5 - I would agree that the Pathos sounds fantastic at low volumes and honestly sounds great to my ears at just about any volume that I have interest in listening.  The biggest downside to the Pathos in my system is that it forces me to use a... 
Pathos Classic One MkIII vs. Krell S-300i
mesch - I have Focal 836v speakers.  When I purchased my speakers both the Pathos Classic One (not MKIII) and Krell S-300i were in the audio store which is partly why I have them now.  I never really considered the Pathos an option at the time and... 
Pathos Classic One MkIII vs. Krell S-300i
Icherepkai -  I have wondered how having a second Pathos might sound, but it's not really a realistic option given my current space constraints.  If I had a more dedicated listening space it would be very temping.  I think a Pathos Logos would be ... 
WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD?
Unique can be taken in multiple ways.Thinking through my albums I think one of the most unique songs is Ning Feng’s The Last Rose of Summer on his Solo album. It’s a mind-blowing difficult solo piece that I also find to be almost "easy listening" ... 
HDMI confusion: Monoprice vs. Blue Jeans
This is an ancient thread, but I was searching for Monoprice stuff and noticed it. Blue Jeans has written some articles about HDMI and my understanding is that it’s the connections and not the wires that are the key attribute. If the cable isn’t m... 
Hiss Noise From Internet Inputs Only
My Airport Extreme Router will sometimes put some noise in my speakers that I can almost completely eliminate by rotating the router on the cabinet.  I don't hear it as much with my Pathos amplifier (tube pre) as I did with my Yaqin MC-30L (all tu... 
Hiss Noise From Internet Inputs Only
If it's the same Tivo connected with the same cables then I'd guess it's related to Netflix and YouTube and not anything you have control over.  I have never used Tivo so am not familiar with it's connections and such. 
Classical Music for Aficionados
I currently have to CDs that I consider to be unbeatable for both music and recording quality.(1) Ceremonial Music For Trumpet & Symphonic Organ - Michael Murray(2) Neeme Järvi Conducts Saint-Saëns - Neeme JärviI think I can honestly say that ... 
Does It have to be loud?
I did some measuring at my listening position today with some jazz music that is piano, drums, and a bass.  I turned it up loud by my standards using an FFT application on my iPhone measured peaks in the mid 80s and the average was probably the us...

Is Tidal capable of channels like Pandora has?  What is the interface like? 
How to bridge a Pathos Classic One
Did you figure this out?  I only have one of these amplifiers but am curious about how the volume would be controlled with a pair of them bridged.  
To keep, upgrade or change
Based on recent experience, be very careful when approaching change in your system. I purchased a new integrated and wasn’t happy with it but it also lowered my satisfaction with my original system. In the end, I did pick up yet another amplifier ... 
Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's
I would suggest emailing Gig Harbor Audio as I am pretty sure they sell both brands and know they would happily give you the benefit of their experience no matter where you live. The owner is honest and always happy to help.  
Does It have to be loud?
I can’t say what dB level I consider to be loud, but I am pretty sure it would not exceed 90 dB. A lot lot of my listening is done after the kids are in bed and with a small house loud volumes are not an option. One thing that that I have really e...
