| Left channel of Pass X250.5 runs warmer than right The left side is a few degrees warmer. How many exactly I don’t know but it’s noticeable if I hold onto the heat sinks for a minute. Every amp I’ve ever owned had this type of difference in heat per left and right sides. | |
| Left channel of Pass X250.5 runs warmer than right I should mention that it’s not a night and day difference. The left channel is just warmer enough that it is noticeable. Both sides run warm pretty close. | |
| Digital XLR vs Digital RCA The better cable with RCA connectors sounds much nicer. | |
| Digital XLR vs Digital RCA Is it okay to run both cables at the same time to AB them or should they be run one cable at a time? | |
| Dh labs D-110 or Siltech Anniversary Edition digital XLR cable ? Both the cables sound good and I'm using the DH Labs but I'm not going to sell the Siltech for now. | |
| What cable is best? The Corona cable is better in my system regardless the connectors which do make a difference. | |
| Which tubes best for Magnum Dynalab 106t tuner? The Telefunken tubes I have been using for years always gone bad within a year. How long should tubes last in the MD106t tuners? | |
| Pass Labs Power amps choices I'm thinking that although the 250.8 would be a nice upgrade over the 250.5 that it would not be worth that type of money to do the upgrade. I had my 250.5 repaired a few years ago and it is working nicely. It would take me several years to pay ba... | |
| Pass Labs Power amps choices I am considering the 250.8 over the 250.5 I am currently using but it is $10,000 CND plus my 250.5. Is the difference in sound worth $10,000 plus my 250.5? | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? My Audio Art Statement e2plus power cables are as nice as I can imagine. I would probably have to spend thousands of dollars per cable to better them and at that I can’t imagine. I think I’m good to stop looking at power cables. | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? Pass Labs electronics have kept the itch at bay for 18 years now. My Hales T5’s are not being replaced any time soon. The only thing I have changed over the years is digital gear, headphone gear and cables. | |
| ... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY? I just recently replaced Audio Art Statement 1 power cables to all components with Audio Art Statement e2plus power cables everywhere with good success. The current top of the line Audio Art power cables are excellent cables which the same by ano... | |
| X250.5 vs X250.8 As my system is sounding good with digital upgrade and power cable upgrade and with further cable upgrade to follow in a few days I decided not to change my amp and as the XP22 does not do balanced tape outputs necessary for my balanced headphone ... | |
| X250.5 vs X250.8 Thanks I’m actually waiting till Monday to try to get both the X250.8 and the X22 from Reno. I have left Mark a couple of emails and hopefully we can work something out on Monday. My X250.5 and X1 sound pretty good however. It would be nice to upg... | |
