| Preamp upgrade - Shindo or VAC? Ditto - and nothing against Shindo:) | |
| Preamp upgrade - Shindo or VAC? You ought to be happy with either brand. I would base it on ergonomics and price. Given you have VAC amps I would gravitate to VAC preamps - you can split hairs forever in this hobby, these really are two very good makers of preamps, whichever pat... | |

| Pass XA30.5 vs. X150.5 If 95db peaks at what distance - 1 meter measurments? If so, you should need about 1.8 watts for that - but I suspect that is not the distance of your measurement. If you want to know if it is enough power Pass or Reno will certainly be able to te... | |

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thank you George, it did not seem Uriah was doing doing the same thing, and set himself up to try to provide the DIY community with parts to build their own Lightspeed-inspired derivatives - which I imagine can sound quite good in the right settin... | |
| Pass XA30.5 vs. X150.5 OP, if you do a search for XA.5 you will find a few threads that discuss the differences between the Class A and A/B Pass amps. If money were no consideration, they only time I think folks would opt for the A/B would be to bi-amplify and used as a... | |
| Pass XA30.5 vs. X150.5 Wow! Wonder why the spec it at 30 watts, they did say in an understated manner that it was "conservatively" rated, but that is REAL conservative. Is that a continuous power measurement or peak? | |
| The best passive preamp Do you anticipate Joe will try an AVC/TVC as an alternative to using resistors? | |
| Pass XA30.5 vs. X150.5 Completely different animal, XA.5 is Class A and the the X150.5 is A/B - 99% of people will tell you the XA.5 is the far better amps in the Pass product line. I think you would have no problem with the XA30.5 power, especially with a 40hm load. Ca... | |
| Pass XA30.5 vs. X150.5 Yes, 150 watts versus 30, but the XA.5 seem to be conservatively rated, at least they sound that way. You should be ok with the lower power with speakers 89db or higher, less then that you are probably pushing it. | |

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Unless I am missing something, it seems he builds the kit, but you are still required to do the install into a chassis - no? Can you tell me what changes, if any, he has done to the LSA recipe? It does look interesting, other then I am a klutz wit... |
