Personal amp evolution
Hi Alan, While I respect your choice, I wonder if you ever soldered Sonicap Platinum bypass caps on your H2O amps? Have you auditioned any NOS CDP? Those two changes, and the copper ribbon speaker cables transformed my H2O sound from rather SS lik... 
Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables?
I proudly show my DIY cables before I start the music. I have been ridiculed absentia, but never in person...... After I start the music. 
How to reproduce sound of piano using ICE
Vett93, nice car. My college science training is rusty. That you proved. A real theory demands substantiation. That is what stirred my interest in reading of the recent neutron leftovers in a cold fusion experiment. That is a theory we all want to... 
How to reproduce sound of piano using ICE
Ok, seems every class D enthusiast has rheumatoid arthritis, and can't type. These are few if the pertinent facts I have proven on my system.I have found oversampling does more harm to the music signal than it's worth, and it is worth nothing in m... 
Are there any Violin or Cello players out there?
Reading the testimonials, they should be a must listen. My daughter plays the viola. Her instrument was beautifully crafted in China. As anyone knows, there is a huge range of quality coming out of there. When one comes in that is right, they are ... 
Pass Labs XP-10 & XP-20 preamps
I took the advice here, and tried to start a new thread. That was yesterday afternoon. I haven't got a rejection yet. We will see just what Audiogon is made of. I am preaching to the class D crowd, an ever expanding audience. Admittedly, I am upse... 
Pass Labs XP-10 & XP-20 preamps
No, I changed the NOS DAC. None of it is crap. I invite anyone posting negatives about my sound to come listen for themselves to get the straight first. Otherwise, your opinions are crap. The subject of the Pass Labs newest preamps was brought up.... 
Pass Labs XP-10 & XP-20 preamps
Tvad, I understand you. There is a impedance mismatch between ICE amps and preamps. H Ho addressed that problem with the invention of the Fire. The thing is the Fire will work in any system. One thing I did not get done when at the dealer's place,... 
Pass Labs XP-10 & XP-20 preamps
Tvad, at one time, my system was intact, with the Pass preamp inserted in place of the Fire preamp. Another time the preamp and amps were switched to Pass. The H2O's dampening is 2000. The no feedback X-600.5 has a damping factor of 250. That woul... 
Pass Labs XP-10 & XP-20 preamps
Audiofeil,What am I to say? The reason I take interest in the Pass Labs products, is because that is the brand I left behind. Revisiting the brand and hearing the latest and greatest amps, and preamps, I noticed a terrific improvement over previou... 
Pass Labs XP-10 & XP-20 preamps
I heard both the XP-10 and XP -20 extensively just a week ago. The X-P-20 was part of a system that used the XA 100.5 monos and X 600.5 monos. I got to try the X-P10 in my system. Sorry folks, but the Fire preamp I am using in my system was the Cl... 
Very beginner question re: interconnects
If you pay more that $100 for a meter of IC you are paying too much. Do yourself a favor, and buy what length you need from Speltz Anti-Cable IC. The cheapest of the three offered is just as good as the next one there. Then, when someone brings ov... 
Best cable for short monoblock runs?
Do it the other way around, and you have trash to hear. The fact is what goes to the amp is grounded. There is absolutely no reason to give wasted signal a royal coach ride to the graveyard. I got the idea from my speakers. The bass ribbons are al... 
What could I expect to hear from a Class A amp?
Hey, I already said, the XA-100.5 monos did 115 dB without ever choking up on any dynamic swing, and the X-600.5 never gassed out on heavy bass runs. The needle never moved, staying class A. It blows your hair back, and to think they are working a... 
What could I expect to hear from a Class A amp?
Ahhh the wonders of ribbons. It's like running a space heater in a cold breezy outdoors.
