| which power cable for Pass Labs XA30.5 Even though people will argue about power cords, "can't make a difference/do make a difference", I'd say this: These days it's pretty easy to try one for free + the cost of shipping (and how much can it cost to ship a pc?). Do that and give an opi... | |
| Pass XA.60.5 Monoblocks to Pass XA.100.5 Monoblock Very nice review.I have the 30.5 and 100.5's and use Conrad Johnson tube preamps (ART and ACT 2.2) in both systems. With the XA amps having a dominant 3rd order distortion characteristic and my tube pres having a dominant 2nd order, I find a nice ... | |

| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 "some successful preamp pairing suggestions would still be useful."I see your thread has splintered in many ways. I'm shocked :-).I have the 30.5 and 100.5's and paired them with Conrad Johnson tube preamps (ART and ACT 2.2). I am very happy with ... | |
| Building a System around Magnepan Speakers... 1. Get the biggest Maggie you can afford (1.6 in this case).2. Tube or SS, they both work. You will prefer one more than the other. More important, how loud do you want to be able to play your system? Contrary to what you read, Maggies only need a... | |

| Magnepan 3.6, 3.7 or Tannoy Westminister SE (Previous post was because I couldn't log in earlier.)Based on what I've read, I have a feeling it's going to be the TW's for you.I've had the Maggie 3.6's for over 10 yrs. I love them and have another system with SET amps mated with the "proper" ... | |

| Mosfet mist? Dividebytube,I seem to be hearing the same thing inre electrolytics.After living with my CJ ART preamp (no elecs anywhere), every pre (with elecs) that I've tried since seemed to have a certain "sour?" sound. Latest experience was with a DAC. A fr... | |
| Sound difference between SET & SEP Same topology = SE.Different type of tube = T or P.SEP = more power? Yes and No. Depends on the tube. A SEP using an el84 will have less power than SET using a 300b.Each tube (T or P) will have it's own flavor. Different brands of the same tube wi... | |
| Ipod newbie question? Simplest/cheapest way: get a mini to L/R rca interconnect (Radio Shack,less the $5). Put the mini in the iPod headphone jack and rca's in the L/R aux in on your receiver. Tip: have the iPod volume all the way up and use the vc of the receiver to a... | |
| William Z Johnson RIP I had the priviledge of sharing some one on one face time with him many years ago. He had a winter home in the Palm Springs area. We shared a love of tennis but never got to play that game of "mixed troubles" with our wives we talked about.My favo... | |
| iMac + what DAC to exceed my Rotel CD player? "I am not worthy of calling myself a true audiophile"Yes you are and don't argue with me :-). A Scott 222 and the Omega 3r's (I've owned both) = MUSIC. I've auditioned some "marquis audiophile" names that weren't as musical.I'll let others advise ... |
