Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8
Did anyone compare the x30.8 to the Merrill Thors or Veritas amps? I heard them side by side and the Thor's were clearly faster and cleaner a no contest. 
Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp?
This gear (H-Cat) was discussed at length years ago and there were many concerns around the company and very few found the gear to live up to what was advertised. Sounds like just more rhetoric to me.

And you've heard this yourself?  I doubt it! How can you talk about this cable without ever listening.  
Looking for a power cable upgrade
I've been using some nanotec cords with the Furutech FI-50 connectors with great success. (the connectors alone are worth more than the cable!)There's a guy selling them for under $500 on the asylum, do a search under nanotec. Good luck

It's only b/c of you audiolabyrinth that I will never consider Tara cables, you just regurgitate what's on the Tara Labs web site without ever hearing most of their up-to-date products. I've talked to others that feel the same way, if only Tara ...

Oh but you can!  
Taralabs cables
Agree with sk, spot on!There are many places that sell these cables at considerable discounts, buyer beware. 
Taralabs cables
I bought Tara THE One's - sold them. Bought 0.8's sold them! (Had both the Onboards and HFX model). Bought "new" at 50% off retail so Zephyr there is more of a mark-up than you realize. Tara cables are just to sterile and lean IMO and yes it's my ...

OMG another ad from audiolabyrinth! You must be the guy that writes their web pages as well. 
Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube
Keith you didn't answer the question about overpriced Tara Cables especially those in the 20th to 32k range.  So how do you come off saying class D amps are overpriced.  
Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube
Really Keith! I'd take any Merrill Class D amp over an over-priced Tara Labs cable any day of the week. Talk about making a killing how can a cable be worth 20K or even 32K? Yikes 
Taralabs cables
So why are there so many Tara cables FS and at such reduced pricing? Take a look on Adioasylum there's a NEW 0.3 that's sealed selling for 65% off retail! If I needed a cable (or had the $$) it would be gone. 
Advice re the use of OTL amps vs others
Agree with Alan the S30 might not be enough power but it depends on several other factors. How big a room you have? How loud you listen? If the 3A MMC speakers dip below 6-7 ohms them you should also consider the ZERO Autoformer. A better match wo... 
Amplifier for Tannoy Turnberry GR
Larryi can you explain more to those of use not familiar with "how it's made" why it's disappointing to anyone with even a modest of understanding of gear? Looked very good to me. 
Taralabs cables
This is a joke! If you go to Agon under Selling you will see Tara Labs is offering all cables at 40% off retail, they claim they are "demo" cables but I now know several dealers dropping Tara cables because they can't compete with Tara selling dir...
