| Pass Labs and Fuses "only if the wire can be shown to sound better than the fuse". ?????Fuses are a choke point, the best fuse is no fuse. Should I infer that the purpose of a fuse is not for protection but rather to somehow enhance the sound? | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses On the rest of his amps Mr Pass was kind enough to use no fuses. | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? Yes we know you don't like Pass Labs. Is this thread just another to validate your opinion or another attempt to be controversial? | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp First you must determine if your equipment is truly differentially balanced or it just has balanced connectors. I now this topic has been covered umpteen times previously on these forums; try reading the white papers of Nelson Pass (Pass Labs) , ... | |
| Single-ended vs. Balanced input for Pass Labs XA30.8 (input will be a Golden Gate DAC) stratsBoth DAC’s were connected to a Pass preamp with 1 meter Shunyata interconnects. Pass literature recommends a balanced connection. The Luxman padded their outputs for the same voltage but the Bryston had double the voltage on balanced lines b... | |
| Single-ended vs. Balanced input for Pass Labs XA30.8 (input will be a Golden Gate DAC) I have Pass equipment and prefer the sound when balanced. My DAC is a Luxman DA06 which offers both RCA and balanced and I like the balanced sound better. Previously I used Bryston DAC with the same results. According to Pass Labs a single ended... | |

| Experience with North Creek Speakers The crossovers are complete overkill built with multiple cascaded caps and up to 8ga coils. If the cabinets are made to Northcreek specs you would be hard pressed to find a better cabinet made out of conventional materials, extremely non resonant.... | |
| Bryston 28B SST There is a reason that the 2 and 4 ohm readings are not listed. According to Jim Tanner from Bryston it has to do with Canadian UL regulations as this amp can draw more than 20 amps from the wall into low impedence loads. Since this is the max all... | |
| Is Esoteric SA-10 sonically as good as DV-50 or 60 If a CD player were made that sounded analog like a table me thinks the designer would make a pretty penny. When you hear a live band it is analog and those are the qualities that we look for in our recorded music which ever media we choose either... | |
| Is Esoteric SA-10 sonically as good as DV-50 or 60 That "old Classe" may be better than you think. I owned a CDP 10 and started looking for a replacement when is showed signs of acting up and knowing that it would be hard to access transport parts as the Phillips unit in it is no longer made. I bo... |
