| Should I Sell My ARC REF 6 and Get A Pass Labs XP-32 I agree w Audphile1 on how the XP22 presents a realistic soundstage and incredible dynamics. I have mine paired w your same amp X250.8 and Sabrina X ‘s and the bass speed and volume control is sublime. I can only imagine how good the XP32 would s... | |
| Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please! I have an Innuos Zen Mk3, a Lumin U2 Mini and a Bluesound node and if I had to choose one it would be the Lumin. They all have their pluses. The Lumins SQ is very much to my liking leaning away from analytical toward warm. The Lumin app is fine bu... | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless II vs. Harbeth P3esr I have a couple of passive systems and also have the LS50w2’s being fed by a node, primarily to connect to other zones, it sounds better than the Kefs alone. But the single biggest improvement was adding a KEF KC62 wirelessly connected and it took... | |
| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION I have the Lumin U2 mini and used the Qutest DAc. It was an amazing combo for the money. I moved the Qutest to a different system and got a Holo May KTE DAc and it really elevated the sound. if you can get $1500 for you Qutest plus $3000 your in t... | |
| Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u I think you need to find great retailers that have no risk home trials. I have the 250.8 w Wilson Sabrina speakers and Reno HiFi made it possible to try various Pass products. The best I’ve heard BW 803’s sound was w a McIntosh MC462. Very ful... | |
| ROON? I also have both Qobuz and Tidal and for me Roon takes the music you “liked” from each and curates the two services in to one interface. What I love about it is that’s it’s like every album cover that I use to hold and read when I was a kid while ... | |
| Dynaudio Heritage + Gold Note IS-1000 Deluxe From the specs, the Gold Note should work well. I ran a Pass Labs INT25 w my HS’s and it sounded great. Then I moved up to a PL X250.8 and it really opened things up. The speakers like good power. A Pass INT 60 that’s been certified may be a fanta... | |
| Revel F228be A year in to the pandemic and what became working from home I moved my system that consisted of a McIntosh MA352 int amp and a pair of Klipsch Forte IVs From my family room in to my home office. Having heard the revel F208’s and liking them i pur... | |
| Pass Labs Speaker Choices X250.8 & XP22 getting delivered streamed music from Innuos Zen Mk3into a Holo May KTE DAC all getting sent to a pair of Dynaudio Heritage Specials and an REL S510 sub. The detail and sound stage w lush rich musicality keeps me planted in m... | |
| Klipsch Speakers I have a pair of Forte IV’s that was connected to an NAD M33 Int Amp and found the sound to be thin and bright. I then was able to acquire a McIntosh MA352 hybrid integrated amp and it changed everything! I found that positioning the speakers made... | |
| Revel F208 - worth a try? I have the f228be’s which are based on the f208’s and they are sound amazing. Not using a sub. I highly recommend them for $4k | |
| Speakers for Michi X3? I heard the amp and I would look at Sonus Faber Olympica Nova III or V's | |
| Different R2R DACs Great point. What are you using as a streamer? Don’t know if I will hear a marketable improvement if my weakest link shutters any improvement. | |
| Different R2R DACs @ghasley I was fortunate to have come across Performance Hifi in Copenhagen on holiday this week who had the Merason DAC1 in their store and it sounded phenomenal there. I have been on a journey to finding a DAC w these qualities but don’t under... | |
| Pass INT-25 better than Wilsenton R8? I have both the R8 and a new INT25 hooked up in the same space and getting a better soundstage than R8 but will keep going back n forth and spend time listening to the changes over the first 0-300 hours. Connected to a pair of Dynaudio HS’s and h... |
