| Is it too bright or is it high resolution? maplegrovemusic, you and I are on the same wavelink, to me it is not bright but to my ears it is revealing & exactly what you said, it is whats on the recording, bringing out all the details. I think you just stated the difference. I can unde... | |

| Pass Labs XA30.5: In praise of Class A magic! Can it be true that Pass Labs is not owned and operated by Nelson Pass anymore? Never the less, they are truly excellent amps! | |
| Can I Pair Audio Reseach Ref 3 w/ the McIntosh MC2505 Poweramp? I've owned a few Mac amps in the past and have paired them with other preamp brands, tube and solid state with very good results. The Reference 3 is a very good choice but the Hovland HP 100 may be a better sound and is in your price range if you ... | |
