| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. The new models have the connection in the back of the amp. I think they were in the front to provide the shortest path to the input tubes, and to keep the wire from having to run through all th electronics, etc - an approach also taking be Converg... | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. I feel pretty strongly that if an OTL can match well with you speaker in terms of power and impedance drive, it is very, very difficult to beat an OTL. Note the M60s are better yet with most speakers, especially in providing incredible bass respon... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Al, that really makes sense. And it seems to explain Clio9s experience, something different but hard to put your finger on it. | |
| Tube amp decision - Thoughts True, but what is the tradeoff? If there were none, I would imagine they would build high-efficienty speakers (unless they also sold high powered amps) :) No? | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Given George's comment, it would seem the burden of proof is on explaining a difference, not the other way around. I find Clio9's comment interesting, as he does hear a difference, but even there hard to put your finger on it, also hard to measure... | |
| Amp for Vandersteen Wood Quatros When I owned Vandersteens a few years back and spent much time reading all about them, I'm pretty sure that at that time Richard used Quicksilver for his system at home. Whether he did or didn't you could easily do worse than trying something like... | |

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? One less thing in the world to worry about:) | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade Ever notice how a 5 minute call with Roger turns into 1 hour? Always interesting. | |
| Dual volume control - it should be standard Well, it is good know you are committed! | |
| Tube amp decision - Thoughts My reason for asking about the speaker is that even though they are sensitive, what I tend to hear from folks with large multi-driver speakers that they really do need more rather than less power for reason beyond simple sensitivity, so I would th... | |
| Tube amp decision - Thoughts Just to be clear, the tube amp is intended for the LS9s or the Decade, or both? Which model of the Decade do you own? | |
| Tube amp decision - Thoughts I've read a lot of good advice on this thread - especially the idea of using EL84s, and great product and service of Quicksilver Audio (though no EL84 amps).I do wonder if moving to the Class A Pass XA.5 might bring you some of what you are lookin... | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade Love 6sn7 line stages for some reason! | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade $4,000 direct? I like the dual controls!It is true the Roger is not the fastest responder, but his equipment make the wait worthwhile - I think he has hired an assistant to handle e-mail and phone inquiries, but it does seem to take 24 hours to he... |
