| Who has heard the new Pass XA25? This thread reads like shill marketing lol. | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? Pass Labs is another that truly doubles down | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 -> Line Magnetic 508ia? Thanks everyone for their comments! It's always good to increase the sample size :)@2psyop it's totally ok to name the amp if you're ok with it (or PM me otherwise, it would be appreciated).Cheers. | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 -> Line Magnetic 508ia? Thanks for your comments! I think I am done with Line Magnetic and looking more seriously at Melody. | |
| Which integrated amp would you pick? If you’re looking at SS, make sure power doubles exactly from 8 to 4 ohms. It’s pretty telling of the quality of the unit as a whole if it does (not many actually do). Beyond that, it’s taste. | |
| 160Hegel and DNLA . . . Never had an Ethernet issue or AirPlay as it was used daily for at least a year. This really surprises me to be honest. Sorry to hear nonetheless. | |
| Please suggest bookshelf with best bass response under $4000 pr. The Mani 2 is a stunning speaker but know you'll need a seriously beefy amp to feed it. If it doesn't double down from 8 -> 4 ohms don't bother. Rewarding at the end of the day though!! | |
| Help me narrow down some speaker choices Larry I'm really sorry to hear that someone took a piss in your Ensure this morning. All the best with your megabucks system. You can see yourself out now. | |
| Help me narrow down some speaker choices @ rsgottlieb I have a Monitor Audio dealer here and I think they have some PL series stuff in-store so I should check them out! Aerial looks pretty interesting as well, I'll have to check if a demo is at all possible.@reubent @grinnell Good optio... | |
| PranaFidelity speakers, what say you? Can anyone comment on how the Bhava compares to anything a little more well-known? It's hard to tell exactly where the generally "fit" in the audio realm, not necessary in the greatest factor but in sonic character. Like more Sonus Faber or Focal?... | |
| Help me narrow down some speaker choices @david_ten Thanks for your comments! It's great that you also have Pass gear and they pair well. Given their overall assessment, I think for my tastes a tube power amp would be necessary. The Monitor might be a good option - smaller, cheaper to sh... | |
| Help me narrow down some speaker choices @inna There is no way for me to know, but I suspect they were all broken in. The Totems had just over 200hrs so maybe not quite.@twoleftears I haven't heard any of those, I'll see who's local!@jperry I'll check these out as well!@islandmandan I ha... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? @kdude66 Did you ever get a chance to use the 508 from your friend?I have a Pass Labs XA30.5 and PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium preamp that I think would net me some $$ for a new tube set if I were to get the 508. How are the stock tubes? Has anyone u... | |
| Tekton Electon/DI compares to what? Interesting comments. Things are subjective as ever!To be slightly more qualitative, a reference of speakers people have used or familiar with would be a nice comparison, or reference point, even if still subjective :) | |
| Tekton Electon/DI compares to what? @waltersalas Tried to PM but can't find a way on here...Really curious about your LM-508ia and what else you've had prior. I've got a XA30.5 pass labs amp and primaluna dialogue premium preamp. |
