| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane Had an Onyx, have a Morpheus currently sitting in customs. What made you like the L3 more than Morpheus? I also had a PS Audio DirectStream Jr and really enjoyed it, but the preamp section was just horrible and very flat when compared to a proper ... | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane Thanks for your input! I have read a few times now that the preamp section in the Metrum units (and it's exactly the same in Jade and Adagio according to Metrum) is of very high quality. I use a tube preamp so it could be more of a case of differe... | |

| Anyone have experience with the Tung Sol 7581a vs. EL34, KT66, KT88, 6L6 Have you considered the Shuguang Golden Voice KT88? | |
| Tube preamp for Pass Labs XA-30.5 Have a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium preamp (and stacked NOS tubes) with the XA30.5 and it mates incredibly well with my Tyler Acoustic Linbrook floorstanders. Financially, I wish I could keep the preamp but I can't. | |
| Who has heard the new Pass XA25? No Pass pre, same power amp as you. | |
| Who has heard the new Pass XA25? I’ll be using my DirectStream integrated preamp. Not ideal but compromises need to be made and for now I’d rather keep the Pass :)The preamp is a really good match I feel, everything just opens up and gets some body behind it. For any other Pass o... | |
