| Pass 260.8 owners...Question It sounds very right after an hour or so, the veil lifts. Just something I had not experienced before | |
| Pass 260.8 owners...Question Yes, after warm up >30 min, the new cables are quite revealing, more so than their predecessors. Good to know that is a relative norm so I should not be concerned.. | |
| Pass 260.8 owners...Question The previous cables were Straight Wire Rhapsody S, I took advantage of their trade in which allowed full msrp trade in on the new pair. So money wise it was kinda of a no brainer as the cash outlay was under what I was looking to spend on a used p... | |
| Pass 260.8 owners...Question They are biased A for the first 30 as I recall, and do generate enough heat to require AC for extended listing sessions. I understand that the cables should not really make a difference in the amount of warm up time the amps require, but now they ... | |
| Am looking for a tech to work on my really old equipment AND I recently had some work done by Ben at High End Audio Repair in Brooklyn, NY. He is an ARC authorized repair tech, did great work at what I thought was very reasonable all things considered. You can look him up and give him a call, you can mentio... | |
| Considering A SS amplifier From everything that I have read (or mostly) it is preferable to have long IC and short speaker cables. Having just gone to mono blocks I had two sets of custom cables made up 5' length as my speakers require two cables rather than a bi-wire as th... | |

| Power Cord Suggestions REF 5se It has somewhat but due to work schedule I am pretty sure it still had less than 100 hours on it. This weekend I might get another 10 hours or so, will make an effort to work it this week after I get home each night so maybe by next weekend I will... | |
| Sax, piano, guitar recommendations While I have a number of Kenny G albums I still like playing a track or two every now and then. Wife was the fan until I was talked into going in to the Blue Note (NYC) where he used to be there every year right before the holidays (Now Chris Bott... | |
| Diminishing Returns Good for you, I wish I could say the same, but with the help of these forums I am confident I will get there. I think I am off the upgrade merry-go-round as I am currently very satisfied with the equipment I have and the sound it is able to reprod... |
