| Jeff Rowland Pre-Amps: The Corus & The Capri Hi Guido,Thanks for the response. Where does the Coherence II fit into this equation regarding the quality of the various Rowland preamps. Thanks Stephen | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. The discussion about how loud it plays is one issue but the larger question is how it plays in the low to normal volume levels. That is where we live with the sound for the most part and different matches between amps and loudspeakers produce diff... | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. This is an excellent thread and the tubed vs solid state discussion in some ways has been replaced with the amp/preamp characteristics that you most value. As many posters mentioned, you can get different sounds depending on the tubed/solid state ... | |
| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? EMOM,I read your review of the Pass XP-20 and was wondering if you had heard the Rowland Capri preamp and if so, how you would compare the Rowland with the Pass XP-20. Thanks | |
| Pass XA.60.5 Monoblocks to Pass XA.100.5 Monoblock Pierre1976,Thanks for the response. Your new amps will continue to change as they burn in. The biggest changes are in the first one hundred hours and more subtle changes in the second hundred hours. I have about 400 hours on mine at this point. | |
| Pass XA.60.5 Monoblocks to Pass XA.100.5 Monoblock Jpspock,Thank you for your response. Here is my preamp situation. I have had the Jeff Rowland Capri for a good while and am thinking about auditioning the Pass XP-20 as I have been told that the synergy between that preamp and the XA series is qui... | |
| Pass XA.60.5 Monoblocks to Pass XA.100.5 Monoblock French_FriesThank you for your response as well as others responses. Its always wonderful to discover new music and we audiophiles forget at times that it was the music that got us hooked into this hobby in the first place. My collection is varied... | |
| Pass XA.60.5 Monoblocks to Pass XA.100.5 Monoblock I am sorry for any typos in my comparison but wanted to get it on Audiogon at this point. I checked it a few times before posting but just noticed a few. Also, I would like to thank Mark at Reno HiFi for his assistance in the process. I know many ... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA60.5 Monoblocks Amplifier Hi Peter,Thanks for the response. I wrote that in the beginning of May when I made the move from the Pass XA30.5 to the PassXA.60 Monoblocks. Its interesting to see your response as just this week I upgraded to the Pass XA100.5 Monoblocks and am i... | |
| Jeff Rowland Pre-Amps: The Corus & The Capri Onhwy61,Very thoughtful and important question that I keep asking myself. I would say that I am confident that my speakers can give give me more back with a more powerful amp. They take a bit of power to push even in my 12 by 24 room and are not b... | |
| Pass XA Monoblock Amps Almarg,Thanks for your thoughts as they are most appreciated. It is more of a push to drive these Woodmere loudspeakers related to the 4 ohm load. Whether they are actually 88 or 91 sensitivity, the more power they get, the better I believe they w... | |
| Jeff Rowland Pre-Amps: The Corus & The Capri Thank you Jeffrey for your thoughts. Its so hard to compare all these components when we all have different rooms and other components they are matched with. | |
| Pass XA Monoblock Amps Hi Charles,Thanks for responding. The XA.5 series has a very strong class A power supply but if you have the volume up to a high level, you reach a point where they transition from pure class A to classA/B. That happens with all the amps in the XA... | |
| Pass XA Monoblock Amps I wish i could afford the XA160.5's but i can't. It is a 2.25 db increase from the Pass XA60.5 to the PassXA100.5. How much that will affect my headroom as well as the capacity to play loud without going into class a/b is probably unknown until i ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Pre-Amps: The Corus & The Capri I really like the Cardas Golden Reference Cables. In addition, I believe the quality of the system is more determined by the ampp, pre-amp, speakers, source, and room. |
