| Don't the Pass XP preamps have selectable gain? I just had some mail conversation with Pass concerning some issues of the XP 20. The topic of this thread was also covered:"Early piece had two gain steps (High gain and Low Gain) This was envisioned as a simple answer to source components with wi... | |
| Pass XA 100.5 plugged into Power Plant Premier? Elberoth2, unfortunately the norm says that the allowed deviation can be +/- 10% (I think that's what you meant) and in fact sometimes the voltage also dips below the 200 V mark. I guess the loss in power will not be a problem, but having "clean" ... | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? Kops, after the few hours I could listen to my new Pass fed directly by the Puccini I can already say that its a great match. The combination I highly musical and has considerably more weight and body compared to my old system, which is exactly wh... | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? Elberoth2, I had several amps on my shortlist. One of them was the Dartzeel which is - compared to the US - quite affordable here in Europe (at least compared to the Pass and Lamm); however, which should me very picky with the rest of the system.W... | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? Elberoth, the price I mentioned was for a pair of NEW Lamm M 1.2. For the pair of used Lamms I had to pay 11-12k Euro. It seems that you're changing system quite often. I can still see a very nice ARC Setup in your profil. Does the Pass have enoug... | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? Thank you for all the helpful posts here. In the end I decided to buy a pair of Pass XA 100.5 new instead of going with a used Lamm M1.2 (here in Italy the importer asks for a prohibitive price of 29.000 so buying a new pair wasn't really an opt... | |
| New Lamm models in sight?? Did not call yet as I'm thinking about buying a Pass XA 100.5 instead of the Lamm due to their better top end (as far as I have heard/read). Unfortunately I do not have the possibility to review the Lamm at home, however, I will be able to auditio... | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? @Rtn1might be that the Lamm preamp would even better the Ref 3 but unfortunately I'm remote control dependent... ;-) | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? @ClavilThank you for the information. I also read the reviews in TAS and in 3 or 4 other magazins. All revierws univocally claimed that the Puccini sounded surprisingly good fed directly into the power amps.I'm looking forward to reading your impr... | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? @AnupmcThe lenght between the current pre or in future the DCS and the monos is 10 ft. I think my Straight wire Crscendo should not compromise the sound at all. | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? @ChadeffectCompletely agree. In my comparison I used the 2V output of the Puccini which worked just fine (at normal listening levels the Puccini's volume control was around -35db and I did not hear any loss of resolution at all). | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? @AnupmcLast weekend I made some comparisons between running the DCS balanced to the REF3 and then balanced into the Parasound and feeding the Parasounds directly by the DCS (balanced cables have been Straight Wire Crescendo and Virtuoso H). I was ... | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? @AtmasphereI wouldn't describe neither the Parasound nor the Isophon Cassiano D as cold or clinical, however, I feel that I wand a more "involving" sound with a bit more body. I guess that my Parasound just isn't the perfect match to the speakers ... | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? @Bjbcabuinfortunately the Parasound do not play in the same league as your Ayre MX-R. Before getting the Puccini I used a Emmlabs CDSD/DCC2 as my digital source and pre. I always found the sound with my current speakers a bit lean, thats why I add... | |
| New Lamm models in sight?? Yes, I'll try, however, many manufacturers do not reply very openly as they do not want to compromise the sale of the current products. |
