| favorite pass amp? I actually have my Pass Aleph 30 is driving average efficiency (not high efficiency) speakers in a 12'x17' room with plenty of volume. Unless your room is huge or your speakers are super demanding, there is plenty of power for moderately loud volu... | |
| Preamp recommendations for Pass Labs Aleph 30 amp David12,Why would a Pass pre be a mismatch?I don't know much about CJ's Premier line compared to their PV. Can you enlighten me.

| Preamp recommendations for Pass Labs Aleph 30 amp After much consideration I have been leaning that way. Any idea how it compares to the newer X1? | |
| Is the Jolida jd 100 as good as the dealers claim? It is like a tubed Rotel. A used Cary CD-308 is much better and can be gotten for $900 or less.I had the Jolida in my system for a week. I ended up with the Cary. Better resolution, soundstage, and musicality. The Cary has better DAC, parts, power... | |

| Parasound Halo T-3 and Fanfare FT-1A tuners? You will have to excuse my bad typing on my response as I was in a hurry and I'm not all that good at typing anyways. I hope you could understand it.Regards | |
| Parasound Halo T-3 and Fanfare FT-1A tuners? Stereophile's review when it came out years ago said it was the best tuner available and the FM standard. Now this was many years ago and I'm not sure if anything has changed substantially. You can read the reviews on line for the FT-1 & FT-1A... | |

Stereophile's Sam Telling gave a glowing review about the MacIntosh and sparked my interest in anologue 5.1 preamps for the audiophile.I sinced purchased the Audio Refin... | |
| 3 channel amp to compliment Pass Aleph 30 for HT In response to:"Monarchy makes good amps. Not a bad choice, just different."Maybe a Monorchy monoblock would be good for the center and another Aleph 30 for the rears. (Or even 3 Monarchys for the remainin channels.) How ore these units different ... | |
| 3 channel amp to compliment Pass Aleph 30 for HT I have considered two more Aleph 30s, but it seemed like overkill for the rears. Maybe the recommendation of 3 Monarchy would be the best bet. But at ther cost 2 more Aleph 30 seems more practical, it just seems like over kill for the rears.I was ... | |

| Has anyone tried the Jolida JD-700 dvd player? I have auditioned it a number of times. It is made in China aand uses a very stable Chinese DVD drive. It uses tubes in the L&R analogue outputs and SS for the other channels. It has built in processing for movies and DVD audio, but no SACD. I... | |
| Plasma Aftermarket Power Cord I have used the Audioquest powercords feeding my powerstrip servicing my hdtv. I have tried Kimber and Dynamic Design as well. I have found that powercords that bring out the best detail and dynamics actually make the digital noise more revealing.... | |
| Tube Home Theater PreAmp? How about the new Conrad Johnson multichannel tube pre. Looks like a force to reckon with. | |
