| Ayre MX R vs Pass Labs X350.8 GaryThe main drawback of the Ayre for my ears was the absence of bass slam and a less visceral sound moving from a Krell. I understand the current Twenty series is better in that respect but haven’t heard them. I also couldn’t afford them.Dependin... | |
| Ayre MX R vs Pass Labs X350.8 Jafant, I am using Cardas Golden Cross interconnects and MIT Matrix HD 60 speaker cables. I preferred the Golden Cross to Golden Reference. I like warm so you can have an indication of my tastes.Gareneau, I had a Krell FPB 200c. It does many thing... | |
| SS Amp for Avalons I have heard Ayre with them. Sounded fine. | |
| Ayre MX R vs Pass Labs X350.8 Hi HazyjNo feedback from others here. There was some on WBF.I went with the Pass X350.8. Great amp although I think I would be happy with the Ayre too. The differences, to me in my system are a fuller, more visceral sound. The highs were also more... | |
| Krell KSA300S Power Conversion I think you posted this question before and you were told you could not do it because it requires a computer chip / board change but I guess you did not believe it and want to go ahead and try anyway.To save you the hassle, what the previous answe... | |
| Is there Really a difference between a Krell 400xi intergrated amp and the newer Vandgard? Krellman is right. I have been pretty much a Krell user most of my time with this hobby (although not having the illustrious models Krellman has used) and the current Krell gear is very differently voiced from the older Krell gear. The Vanguard is... | |
| Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem? They should give you better control of your speakers especially the Class A Krell, which is perhaps more of a high current design than the others.All the amps you listed have different sonic signatures so best to try them out. | |
| Amplifier stand for a Pass X250.8? Nice amp.What's the rest of your system? | |
| Aesthetix Atlas + Calypso Hi SguntherWhich Pass Labs and Audio Research dod you own before and how does the Aesthetix combination differ from them?What speakers are you driving?Thanks | |
| Good match preamp for Pass labs 250.5 Is there a problem matching a Cary SLP 05 with Pass Labs X250.5?The output impedance is 400 ohms for the SLP 05 and the input impedance is 30 kOhms.The reason I am asking is I have just tried matching my Cary SLP 05 with a Jeff Rowland 625 (input ... | |
| Mcintosh MC402, Krell FPB 600 or Passlabs x250.5 I am pretty familiar with Krell amps. If I would hazard a guess, I would say the FPB 600 would be a better match with your Olympica 2's. If you could get a c or cx series FPB, it would be smoother up top. The predecessor of your speaker, the origi... | |
| ayre mx-r versus audio research ref150 Thanks TomicIt sounds like either would work for me but I would prefer the ARC since I like tubes and a warm midrange more. | |
| ARC ref 210 vs ref 150 I think I would prefer the ARC too.Thanks that was very helpful. | |
| ARC ref 210 vs ref 150 Unfortunately, I cannot listen to it first before I purchase. Your comments hit my concerns right on.It's interesting that you have heard the Ayre mono's and preferred the Ref 150 to them. In what ways was the Ref 150 superior.I have heard the Ayr... | |
| ayre mx-r versus audio research ref150 Thanks TomicHow specifically did the ARC Ref 150 differ from the Ayre VX R? |
