| Pass Labs:What to expect fm XA60.5 to XA100.5 Tvad,Could you please elaborate on your last post? You seem to suggest that all one needs to do is calculate SPL in a room and match the amp to speakers on paper and all will be fine. The XA100.5 looks as though it has plenty of power to drive my ... | |
| Pass Labs:What to expect fm XA60.5 to XA100.5 Elmerpoh,Given your 91dB and 4 ohm min impedance and the fact that you listen fairly close to your speakers, I would think that the XA100.5 would be plenty of power and the X350.5 might be overkill without as much Class A magic. I would enjoy the ... | |
| Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha Goodwins High End in Boston is very willing to switch heavy speakers around for a demo. I heard three $20K ish speakers - Magico, Rockport and Verity - all in the same system during one afternoon session. Some dealers are willing to pull out the d... | |
| Pass Labs:What to expect fm XA60.5 to XA100.5 I went from the XA100.5 to the XA160.5. My speakers are a very demanding load and I thought I would need more power/current. I first demoed my speakers with the XA30.5 and they sounded a bit restricted during loud classical passages. My XA100.5 wa... | |
| Clearaudio Double Smart Matrix or Loricraft PRC4 Hello Dan,Right you are. My PRC4 with the AIVS 4-step (two rinse) process takes 20-25 minutes per side. I follow this with a demag and new inner and outer sleeves. I think Dougdeacon spends about the same time per side with his PRC3.V e r y s l o ... | |
| Clearaudio Double Smart Matrix or Loricraft PRC4 Syntax, That photo makes me want to trade in my PRC4.Dan_ed, Is that stack of LP's not there because those of us with expensive machines don't have any money left over to buy more LP's or is it not there because some machines like the wand vacuum ... | |
| Clearaudio Double Smart Matrix or Loricraft PRC4 I've seen Dougdeacon use his Loricraft PRC3 and heard the results. It's one of the reasons I bought my PRC4 and why I also use the AIVS four-step solutions. His post above is right on the mark. | |
| Amps in the same class as Pass XA.5 series I have had six different Pass Class A amps in my system. My favorite is my current XA160.5. I have not heard amps from other companies in my own system, but I have heard a few amps in friends' systems and at various dealerships. I have been very i... | |
| Clearaudio Double Smart Matrix or Loricraft PRC4 I owned the VPI 16.5 and now own a Loricraft PRC4 Deluxe. There is no comparison. The combination of the 3 step AI solutions plus a 4th final rinse step and the point source nozzle produces extremely clean records. I hear things (details, dynamics... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA60.5 monobloks Amplifier I have the XA160.5. Like Teajay, I hear a VERY slight hum from each amp if I put my ear directly on the top plate above the transformer. I assume this is normal. It was slightly louder with my old XA160. I'd talk to the dealer and then Kent at Pas... | |
| ya gotta watch this Very interesting video that made for an enjoyable evening. Thanks for the link. I particularly enjoyed hearing the audiophile's and Fremer's comments. My first exposure to this topic (recorded sound and listening) was from reading "Perfecting Soun... | |
| Pass Labs X1 vs. XP-10 I owned the Aleph P, the X1 and now the XP-20. The X1 was considerably more neutral and detailed than the Aleph P, though I loved the ergonomics of the P and the remote. The separate X1 PS also lowered the noise floor. The XP-20, though much more ... | |
| Which cost more: your system or your car? Right you are T_bone. I did indeed mean to write "commensurate", though "commiserate" could apply to the system and my old truck. Thanks. LOL | |
| Which cost more: your system or your car? Costs are commiserate with the following: I adore my wife. I like my system. I tolerate my truck. | |
| Halcro DM68 or Pass XA 200.5? Hi Nirodha35. I just reread through this thread and I was completely mistaken in my post dated 1-27-10 above. I meant to write that I heard both Spectral and Solution amps with Magico speakers. I must have been subtly influenced by Halcro's commen... |
