| Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ? @david_ten from what you are saying, it sounds like the Audience SX is the way to go.I think the Clear Beyond will give you some of that. How does it compare to the Audience SX? I will await your feedback. | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ? @david_ten Which Pass separates are you trying the Au 24 SX XLR's with and how do they sound so far?I wonder if they have a leaner sound than Cardas does. | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ? Hi guys.@david_ten I am still using the Clear Beyond from pre to power with a Clear Reflection from DAC to pre. I find the Clear Beyond can be a bit tipped up in the highs on some source material. You are using Audience SX speaker cables correct? ... | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Power cords @garebear do you know in what ways it's meant to surpass the Clear Beyond Power? | |
| Pass Labs X260.8 owners please check in .... @ebm yes, didn't realise you had moved on from the Pass Labs X350.8.How does the Audia Flight Strumento compare sonically? | |
| Swapping W4S to Pass Labs XA- worth it? It's a no brainer. If they can drive your speakers, I would go with the Class A Pass Labs. I think the 0.8 series have higher input impedances. | |
| Cary SLP 05 - When To Replace Tubes? I’ll be darned. I swapped back the old tubes and guess what, it wasn’t the tubes after all. Eveything sounded OK again even with the old tubes so I’ll continue using them for now.So to everyone who said it wasn’t the tubes - you are right!This is ... | |
| Cary SLP 05 - When To Replace Tubes? OK i have swapped the tubes.So far it seems to be the tubes (I still have to swap the old ones back to reconfirm) but what I was getting was a muddier sound overall with less pitch definition which made the deeper bass from the power cords and the... | |
| Cary SLP 05 - When To Replace Tubes? My memory is hazy. Which tubes do I match?1&2 - left & right channel positive phase gain (1st 2 tubes on front row from left to right)4&5 - left & right channel negative phase gain (1st 2 tubes on back row from left to right)3&... | |
| Cary SLP 05 - When To Replace Tubes? OK so do you suggest I try another set of tubes? I am running fully balanced and so will need to change 6 tubes. I have swapped out the rectifier to a Mullard 5AR4. | |
| PassLabs 350.8 versus Ayre MXR Twenty @cycles2 thanks for confirming what I heard at the showroom demo. As per my post above, I preferred the Pass XA200.5’s driven by ARC Ref 5 SE to VX R Twenty with KX R Twenty. I found the Pass had a fuller, more musical sound and the Ayre comparati... | |
| PassLabs 350.8 versus Ayre MXR Twenty @cycles2 you are probably the only person i know who has owned both amps at the same time.As I said, I have heard the non Twenty MX R's.How would you compare the Twenty MX R's to the X350.8 sonically driving your Rockport Altair's - other than the... | |
| PassLabs 350.8 versus Ayre MXR Twenty @vindanpar I think you really should listen to both amps with your pre and speakers.But here are my $0.02 for what it’s worth.I very nearly got some non Twenty MX R’s. I ended up with the X350.8 I have not heard the Ayre MX R Twenty but have hear... | |
| PS AUDIO DIRECT STREAM DAC OR DCS ROSSINI DAC If it is within your budget, the Rossini is a better sounding DAC.The PS Audio DS is good too but dCS digital is in another league albeit at a much higher price difference | |
| Amplification for Dynaudio Contour 3.4 LE - strange results obtained so far I used to have a S3.4.I think Pass Labs is a good match for it. However, if it is beyond your budget, Primare works quite well with Dynaudio too. |
