| Unbalaned to Balanced My amps ONLY have balanced connections as they are fully balanced and do not provide for single-ended conversion. Prior to my current balanced preamp, I used several single-ended preamps. I also used Jensen input transformers to effect the conve... | |

| Pass Labs - 350.8 stereo vs. 260.8 monos Maybe this quote from the Dagogo review of the X260.5 amplifiers describes what @rsf507 was referring to in his description of the Pass sound...."Another thing I noticed about the Pass Labs X260.5 amplifiers was that, even though they were powerf... | |
| Pass Labs - 350.8 stereo vs. 260.8 monos @karmapolice "As for its musicality that is the most subjective aspect of the audition and am trying various preamplifiers to determine if it has that specialness for my room......so far looks like a keeper.."Have you yet resolved your question a... | |
| Whats your take on a NAD 3020, I truly believe it defined stereo and still does! Purchased the larger 3040 new and it still works to power my outdoor system. Phillips (later Thorens) turntable, 12-inch Jensen three-ways in large boxes and the tone was great so I never worried about anything but what music to buy.....those wer... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @elizabeth mitch2.. One part of you query is about what else can be in the powercord that is not being measured" (totally parphrasing, if in error, yell at me) No yelling necessary Elizabeth, but that was not actually the question. My questions... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Thank you @jea48 for your post with comments from Ralph, Nelson, and OLC.I had a couple of questions about Ralph’s post yesterday but did not see an answer and then the thread seemed to spiral down a rabbit hole. Ralph’s response from your post co... | |
| Preamp dillema for McCormack Ultra Platinum I owned the platinum RLD and while it had tons of drive it didn’t sonically touch my modded TLC-1 that you can see on my system page and on the SMc website. Steve can work wonders with the TLC-1, which can be set up for unity gain (like mine) or ... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @atmasphere I’ve seen a power cord make a difference of nearly 30% of output power out of a power amplifier. I could also see that that was caused by a voltage drop across the power cord.and You can measure differences in output power, output impe... | |
| Pass Labs - 350.8 stereo vs. 260.8 monos Good comments all, thanks and please keep sharing | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect Here we are in 2019 and I remain amused at the justice warriors throwing out rulings such as; "a farce, marketing hype, non-essential indulgence, gullible, bogus claims, insult (to working people), insult (to "legitimate" manufacturers), defies co... | |
| Pass Labs - 350.8 stereo vs. 260.8 monos Not really interested in the 250.8 but I like the thought of 34wpc of Class A from the 260.8 monos. Anybody here own the 260.8s and can comment on their drive and bass capabilities as well as overall musicality? | |
| Anyone living in Northern Michigan? Kalamazoo here. Summer or winter, its all good in Michigan. BTW, you are still one bridge shy of the hinterlands. Roll over to Shorts and have a brew! Try a Slurm Lord.... | |
| Pass Labs - 350.8 stereo vs. 260.8 monos Thank you @gdnrbob and @shannere I will give the folks at Pass a call next week but I would also enjoy hearing from any Pass owners here on the forum. The amps are so well made, it would be nice to go a step up in the prior line (i.e., 600.5 monos... | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect @rja +1I would add, for those buying $24K interconnects, at least know how to evaluate them. I wouldn’t buy a $24K car without test driving it so at least hear the interconnects in your own system and decide whether the sound is worth $24K to you ... |
