| Magico - a new Mini? This Q1 may only be an early design. It sure is a departure, aesthetically. | |
| Pass Labs XA and XA.5 I've owned the Aleph 3, 5 and 2 and the XA160, XA100.5 and now the XA160.5. I have never owned the X or X.5 series. You can read my review of the XA100.5 on this site. I think the XA.5 are the best amps that Pass has designed.Regarding your questi... | |
| MintLP Protractor Issue. Anyone else? The Mint LP a great tool. I will say that the only limiting factor to its effectiveness for me is my rapidly deteriorating middle-aged eyesight. At least my hearing isn't changing as fast. LOL. | |
| MintLP Protractor Issue. Anyone else? I've had mine for a year and it looks exactly the same as it did when I first saw it. I store it the same way you do. | |
| how close in sound can a tube and ss amp sound ? Audiofeil,That is a very specific gross generalization. Good one. | |
| Grilles or No Grilles The grills on my Egglestons were very transparent - both aesthetically and sonically. I heard no difference. It was a very elegant design (super thin, sheer) and I could actually still see the drivers when the grill were on, so I kept them on. My ... | |
| how close in sound can a tube and ss amp sound ? "Sounds like" or "sounds the same" are phrases often used interchangeably here, when in fact they are quite different. IME, the former is possible on very rare occasion while the latter is not, at least not yet. I have owned many of the Class A Pa... | |
| Gain adjustment on Pass Xono? I own the Xono and am currently experimenting with different gain settings. The lowest gain is attained by having both jumpers per channel in place. With that setting, you are down 14db. | |
| Best Record Cleaning Process on a Loricraft Buconero,What kind of water do you use when steaming and could you describe your steaming process. I curious to give it a try. Thanks. | |
| How close to the real thing? Fredseas2,You banged the one note on my kids' upright piano and then compared it to a recording of a concert grand, as I remember. I agree with you that that one note did not sound identical to any one of the many notes in the recording. It wasn't... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Process on a Loricraft I have a Loricraft PRC-4 and use AIVS 3-step solutions with a second pure water rinse. I finish this with a destat then a demag on each side and a new inner and outer sleeve. This is the best process I've used and the results are fantastic, but it... | |
| How close to the real thing? Phaelon,I agree with you that the thread is going in an interesting direction. KIrkus and others have broadened my understanding of the topic tremendously. It was not my intent to peg a specific percentage to the question of how close are we to th... | |
| New Magico Speaker the Q3 Bvdiman,I think the ability of the user to tighten the pucks on the back of the V2 and M5 has more to do with the movement inherent in wooden enclosures due to temperature and humidity changes. These built up Baltic birch ply enclosures move over ... | |
| VTA and cartridge loading I'm sorry, but I don't think my post was written clearly enough. I'm referring to VTA, vertical tracking angle, and MC cartridge loading, ie 30, 50, 100, 500, 47000 ohms. I do understand that VTF effects VTA as more or less downward force on the s... | |
| Magico - a new Mini? Scar972,I also love the wood/aluminum look. If you have heard the V2 and V3 and like their looks and love the way they sound in your system, you should go out a buy a pair while they are still available. I almost bought a pair of V2's until I hear... |
