| Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8 Thanks to Reno HIFI, I was able to demo the Pass Labs new X350.8 against my X350.5 with my Pass Labs XP-10 Preamp.Perhaps the different models have variations in performance. But, to my ears and system, I thought the .8 was muddy sounding compared... | |
| What music do you use to assess your system? I can appreciate the fact that to evaluate a systems potential, the best recordings available would be used.But,I actually also try to listen to the music I play and enjoy the most. Say, the best audio version recordings of CCR. | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Sabai, I compared a HiDiamond Reference XLR digital cable to a High Fidelity CT-1 Ultimate RCA. Between these 2 cables, there was almost no change when toggling from XLR to the RCA input. I say almost because there may have been a slight(very slig... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Sabai, No, in fact between XLR or RCA digital inputs no difference. | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream One thing I have discovered is that the Direct Stream is very sensitive to power cords. Between my HiDiamond P4 and the "Neo" power cord, the Neo is the best on it. It provides a deeper image with more emotion. | |
| Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare? Reno HiFi was excellent, I had to pay for the shipping both ways. Otherwise yes, I got a complete refund. | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC TBG, There is defiantly a difference with using the copper sleeve. I cant believe you can't detect it with all of your expensive equipment. I would say it is providing a shield around the IEC similar to what Furutech or Oyaide does with there Hi E... | |
| Mad Scientist "NEO" Power Cord Review Glory, I thought you were more open minded. Try one of these power cords... | |
| Mad Scientist "NEO" Power Cord Review Audiolabyrinth, I only had the High Fidelity digital Ultimate and I am using the PS Audio Direct Stream Dac. I mention this because PS Audio claims that all digital inputs on this Dac sound the same. And in fact, they do. I could not find any diff... | |
| Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare? As this thread shows. I have had the new Pass Labs X350.8 for comparison purposes to my X350.5 amp. At first I wasnÂt sure if the new .8 was an upgrade over my X350.5. Then I thought I was sure it was, but once again I have changed my mind. I hav... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Though I had high hopes for the carbon fiber insert, to me, it was not an improvement. | |
| Has any one heard the Essence 1600 Electrostat? Thanks for the response. Now it will really bug me to find a pair. | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC So, I just inserted a thin piece of carbon fiber inside the copper sleeve... | |
| Mad Scientist "NEO" Power Cord Review I've got one on order. | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC I think Digital Equipment is the best place to try the Copper Sleeve.And... it probably matters the type of IEC plug on the cable. Most are only made out of some form of plastic.But, the higher end companies like Furutech or Oyaide use plugs/IEC m... |
