| Bryston or Pass Labs I am not familiar with most of the gear that you have, but I have had several Nelson Pass products, including the Pass XA100.5, XA60.8, the First Watt M2 and J2. I also own a pair of Lamm tube amps. They each have their own character, but I have... | |
| Would anyone like a tube hour counter for amps that don't have this function ? I have had tube equipment for more than 15 years. My first tube amps were a pair of Antique Sound Lab Hurricanes.

Since then, I have owned Magnepan 1.7 and Quad ESLs (I think the model was 2805) . I still have the Maggies, but I am not using them. A few months back I purchased a pa... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener I have been using an SVS model SB13-Ultra subwoofer for about 2 years and it works very well with classical and other music, I set the crossover very low and I use the sub just to pick up the "rumble" to give the music a "floor," or "in the hall... | |
| Cardas Clear Speaker Cables - From cable skeptic to beliver in one fell swoop If you find the Clear speaker cables expensive, do not audition the Clear Beyond. I have Pass XA100.5 amps and these speaker cables blew me away. If you have a high amperage amplifier like the Pass and money to burn, you will not regret it. I a... |
