| The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard Anyone nominate Whole Lotta Rosie yet? | |
| Joseph vs Legacy in 7K range? Maybe ATroy meant YOU can't compare them, but I am about to do literally just that. Compare them! 😂 | |
| Joseph vs Legacy in 7K range? Joseph Audio while maybe not overrated, are way overpriced. (They are good, but simply overpriced for what you get). Legacy (go find a barely used Focus SE for your price, which is doable) - way more fun than the Joseph Audio. Just don't see ... | |
| Rogue DragoN or Bel Canto Ref600 M If you only have 1-2 sources.. a DAC being one. DAC right into the rouge dragon (or any of the tube/D hybrids) could be a nice combo.That SPL Director MKII or the Benchmark DAC3 both nice options. | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? Every Tekton that I have heard after the Double Impact.The Double Impact, for it’s price when it came out was/is a solid rock and party speaker. Fun, fast, good bass. Sure, the cabinets are borderline, and they have a fair amount of resonance. But... | |
| Pass XP30 preamp makes no difference (from dagogo) ? Wow! (active vs passive vs no preamp) @smodtactical I liked the REF6 more than the XP12 in the midrange from my recollection. The XP12, a bit better in the bass.I really think the XP22 and XP30... awfully close. They both pop-up on sites occassionaly (a-gon, usam... it's one thing I... | |
| Pass XP30 preamp makes no difference (from dagogo) ? Wow! (active vs passive vs no preamp) @smodtactical Yes, I did try an AR Ref 6. It's really good. While I like a bit of the 3d soundstage that a tube pre-amp can add, I have found that newer DAC's can and should do the same thing WITH a good solid state pre-amp. The XP22 just did th... | |
| Pass XP30 preamp makes no difference (from dagogo) ? Wow! (active vs passive vs no preamp) I would agree with what has been posted thus far. The Pass pre-amp's are quite nice. I feel the XP22 is the best bang for the buck of the line-up. But if you can swing the XP32... why not!I felt the XP32 was better than the XP22, but not by muc... | |
| VAC Signature Mk IIa SE vs Pass Labs XP-32 I can't speak to the VAC stuff. I've demo'd the current pass line-up. (xp12, 22, 32).Demo'd with a few amps, but the 100.8's primarily. Like most things in audio there is a law of diminishing returns. But I did feel the upgrade from the xp12 t... | |
| Pass choice: INT250 vs X350.8 + He9 Find a 250.8 and a XP12 or XP22 if you want separates.The 250.8 can drive just about any speaker to ear splitting levels unless you get something absurdly hard to drive with whacky impedance curves down the road.Or get the INT 250 and see what you... | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder I find myself coming to this thread a lot after having demo'd the Ohm Walsh speakers a few times. I'm very impressed. Now I'm trying to rationalize dropping the coin on a pair of used 5000's as they never come up used. But I stay on top of all ... | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder @craigsub Would love an update on the 4900's Really your whole set-up. Pros/Cons vs your other speakers as you have a ton it seems? The PSaudio amps, how are they now that you have had them for a while. Always a bit scared of class D?Even pic... | |
| I pulled the trigger, I bought OHM Walsh Micro Tall Speakers... @audioman58 , I totally agree. I’ve had the chance to audition ohms both old and new. I like a lot of what I hear. When I’ve gone digging it does appear parts are pretty inexpensive. (Given what others use in a 6k pair of speakers) I’m left won... | |
| Classe CA301 or BAT VK-500 I would go with the BAT. Very nice amp, powerful and refined. The build quality inside the BAT amps is pretty remarkable, | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder @jstrohbeen I read your post with great interest. I too believe in the law of diminishing returns in just about everything, including audio. That said, always interested in those that push the envelope. If you were to do (and maybe you have) a "... |
