| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps Congratulations. I think you have a very, very fine piece. Some might argue the best sounding amp out of the Pass shop (assuming sufficient power of course). | |
| Trying to extract more from my Vandersteen Two subs is unquestionably the way to go with 2s and 3s; eseentially what you get when you buy Quattros or 5s. | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps With the XA30.5s ability to deliver current and the sensitivity of your speakers, I would think the 30 watts would be more than enough for most listeners in most rooms. As Tvad says, it plays a lot louder and more robustly than its wattage specs w... | |
| Music Reference RM9 - user comments please I was using a K&K TVC with S&B 102 MKI xformers and dual Sieden switches. An excellent piece, but I can't say I preferred it to the PiaB. I've got the Siemens EL34s in the RM9 SE, and just ordered a set of the KT88 RAMs. I've got some new ... | |
| Music Reference RM9 - user comments please What did the Pot-in-a-Box replace? I use one and a Joule 150MKII. Not bad for $135 - is it? | |
| Music Reference RM9 - user comments please What tubes were you using prior? His EL34s? (Siemens?). I take it that if you made a change it was at Roger's suggestion? How did the sound signature change? I guess I could just buy them and try. | |
| Why I sell This is why as a seller, I much prefer a local pick up. The buyer can see the unit, audition, and no suprises. A minor blemish to some is a major catatrophe to others and it is best to not worry about these kind discrepancies. I would say that alm... | |
| Replace my Berning ZH-270? There is a thread somewhere by SBank who made the move from Berning to Atmasphere. I think that thread pretty well covers the pluses and minuses of the Berning versus some of the obvious candidates (CAT, Joule, and Atmasphere)for working well with... | |
| Replace my Berning ZH-270? Music Reference RM9 works well (I have the at setup with your speakers)The Pass XA30.5 worked very, very well for SS.CAT JL2 (which I also own) is about as good as it gets wiht the Merlins and just about anything else.I think you would also do wel... | |
| Music Reference RM9 - user comments please The RAM KT88s are the slight more expensive one's he sells? $65 each? Or are you using the Chineese KT88 he uses? | |
| Music Reference RM9 - user comments please Well, there you have it, the EL34, 6550, and KT88 are the best with the Music Reference. Frankly, I suspect they all sound great with different flavors though I owuld note they were designed with EL34s. I'm not sure how much difference there is be... | |
| Speaker suggestions for Pass Labs x250? Marten DeWulf of Bound for Sound loved the amp with Merlin VSMs, which are my favourite speakers at any price point. | |
| Speaker suggestions for Pass Labs x250? With that amp, you can assume most any speaker you like will work well with it. So as far as I'm concerned you could just as easily ask, what $5,000 speakers should I consider. If you like the Pass sound, you amp should be able to handle most any ... | |
| Music Reference RM9 - user comments please I'd like to hear some of the 980 owners of RM9s as to their preference between EL34 and KT88; there seems to be quite a difference of opinion on the issue, and there is a comparison to be made; certainly Roger is not so definitive on the subject. ... | |
| psb alpha vs paradigm mini monitor? They are both good and comparable. I'd go with the one you prefer to look at. Although I have a preference for PSB because I like the designer's body of work. |
