| Pass Labs xa30.8 died Praying for your boy tonight! If he don’t make it, I’ll blast some raw blues for you... | |
| What tests would you like all speaker reviewers to do for their reviews? @djones - thanks for the link! strange that stereophile doesn't publish something similar for their measurements... | |
| Dedicated power I did a 30a line, only one, and it's great. Don't worry about these people needling you for going big and don't use some flimsy transformer. Good wire, good outlets, good power cables, etc. Worth it. | |
| What tests would you like all speaker reviewers to do for their reviews? @erik_squires I like your suggestion -- shouldn't be too complicated. | |
| What tests would you like all speaker reviewers to do for their reviews? To all: Is there a published guide to understanding John Atkinson's standard measurements for the less experienced of us? | |
| What tests would you like all speaker reviewers to do for their reviews? @epz - really like this suggestion! Group reviews with each listener describing their impressions would be very refreshing! | |
| What exactly is textural density?? @frogman It would be great if more reviewers and consumers knew more musicology so they could help connect the worlds of music appreciation and audiophilia with greater accuracy and depth. I feel like we're always just reinventing the wheel with ... | |

| What tests would you like all speaker reviewers to do for their reviews? @jasonbourne52I hadn't heard of this test. Does anybody perform it in their reviews? | |
| SPL: Reference level performance, German build quality, and innovative designs Man, this stuff makes me think many reviewers are just basically skilled marketers and copywriters shilling for dealers and distributors. Great to hear about a product that’s new to the US market, as always, but jeez... another “greatest value in ... | |
| New Audiophile going crazy Wow, that’s a crazy story indeed, OP. Fun isn’t it? You’ve got a lot more audio going on than, me though. If I was modding 2+ systems instead of one, I’d lose it completely. For the love of god, clear out one or two rooms as next step, the focu... | |
| Unfair Competition: Orchard Audio Bosc Monoblocks vs. Pass Labs XA30.8 Damn upgraditis still itches... Thankfully several honest dealers have dissuaded me of the notion I'm going to find a significant improvement from among their demo stock. I'm gonna leave it alone and just play with some cables... | |
