| Getting Into PC Audio and Need Help Thanks! Have any of you heard about the Esoteric USB upgrade kit for the D-03? Any thoughts on if it would be worth the money and time to send back to Esoteric? | |
| Best Used Speaker for Around $5000?? What is the used value of the Daedalus Ulysses???I have an option to buy a used pair of Deadalus Ulysses speakers in Cherry with both the platforms and the box stands. About two years old in grade 9 condition. I can't find any blue book value or c... | |
| Best Used Speaker for Around $5000?? Tvad: Do you think my XA-30.5 would be ok with the Daedalus Ulysses? I read one of your previous threads where you were considering trying the Ulysses with a XA-60.5's... What do you think they'd be like with the XA-30.5? | |
| PASS LABS XA-30.5 vs XA-60.5 Any recommendations on speakers in the $5500-$7000 (used a'gon prices) if I upgrade my totem hawk speakers??My system:Pass Labs XA-30.5 ampPass Labs X0.2 preampEsoteric XO3-SE cd playerBPT 3.5 Ultra Sig. power conditionerTotem Hawk speakersAudioPa... | |
| PASS LABS XA-30.5 vs XA-60.5 Erndog: I agree and have decided to "pass" on the XA-60.5's for now. The weakest link is certainly the hawks, so I am on the hunt for speaks... My room isn't too big thgough - 16' x 12' x 8' ceilings so the hawks are no slouch in there.Honest1: Ye... | |
| PASS LABS XA-30.5 vs XA-60.5 Tvad: I totally agree with both comments. I don't feel the XA-60.5's would sound any better than the XA-30.5 with efficient speakers. I also feel with good match of impedance, it doesn't make a difference between single ended and balanced in short... | |
| PASS LABS XA-30.5 vs XA-60.5 Thanks for the response and recommendation. The needle on my XA-30.5 has always stayed right at 12 o'clock. The amp idles with the needle at 12 oclock and even at very high volume levels, the needle stays right at 12 o'clock (It's in class A all t... | |
| Meridian G-08 or ProAc Response TriTower Upgrade This still leaves me the dilema about the cd player though. I'm still on the fence about the Meridian G-08. As far as me getting a dac...

| Meridian G-08 or ProAc Response TriTower Upgrade I've done some more research, and the ProAc Response TriTowers were designed primarily for home theater use. The tall and skinny style has been designed to fit next to a plasma/lcd tv. The woofer, midrange and tweeter are higher up off the floor t... | |
| Meridian G-08 or ProAc Response TriTower Upgrade Thanks for the respones everyone.That's funny, Roxy54. Years ago, I bought a brand new PDS-95 and used it with a ARC dac2 and later with a modded musical fidelity tri-vista 21 dac. It was gorgeous and sounded fantastic. John Hillig from Musical Co... | |
| Coincident Super Eclipse or Devore Nines? I have recently upgraded to the DeVore Nines and use the Pass Labs XA-30.5 amp and X-1 preamp in a fairly large room (25x14). I've been in high end audio for 25 years, and have tried so many different combinations, but I can honestly say this give... | |
| Krell FPB 400CX vs PASS LABS X-350.5 The DeVore Nines/Pass XA-30.5/Pass X-1/Esoteric X03-SE combo does not sound cool at all in my opinion. I would say very slightly warm "ish"; yet smooth, and neutral. Correct I guess would a good description. Dead quiet with more soundstage depth t... | |
| Krell FPB 400CX vs PASS LABS X-350.5 I did a head to head audition between the X-250.5, the X-350.5 and the XA-30.5.The smaller 30 watt class A XA-30.5 smoked both of the X models, and has more than enough power for my DeVore Nines in a large room. | |
| Pass X-250.5 or Plinius SA-103 Does the Aleph 3 have balanced or single ended only? | |
| Krell FPB 400CX vs PASS LABS X-350.5 Do you all think the smaller Pass Labs XA-30.5 would be enough for the Nines. My room is 14' x 24'?Would that be a better choice than the X-350.5?? |
