Sim Audio Moon Evolution Series, - I-7
24phun and juadio:did you get a chance to listen to sim's regular amps and preamps? I am curious to know if these separates exhibit the same sonic behavior as the integrated. 
Pandora
pandora is not bad but its library is limited. I find that the same songs are repeated. 
Squeeze box vs. CD player
From my experiences, the SB or any other digital music system does not sound as good as the original CD being played through a good quality cd player. Depending on the system and your own sensitivity, this difference could be a lot or a little. I ... 
SimAudio or Classe for Power Amplifier
audio4ever and rjhalla:I find your opposite opinions very interesting. What speakers have you heard the Classe and Simaudio on respectively? I have B&W 802D speakers. Also, do both mind if I ask what kind of music you listen to and what your p... 
SimAudio or Classe for Power Amplifier
audio4ever:thank you for the reply. I am looking very seriously at the W7 monoblocks and the p8 preamp. Do you actually have Simaudio in your system? What speakers did you hear the Simaudio with? I appreciate any feedback you can give. 
SimAudio or Classe for Power Amplifier
ronniekoh:wow! so you put weight on the top of the amp and this affects the sound? to me this would be a total turn off. is this amp designed that way? is it intended to be tunable? 
SimAudio or Classe for Power Amplifier
Hi, I am also considering the Simaudio (W7m monos and p8 preamp) and Classe (cam400 monos and cp700 preamp) amps and preamp. I recently auditioned the Simaudio paired with Dynaudio speakers. First off, the looks of the new Simaudio Evolution line ... 
What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need
I personally would keep them in storage. You never know when the hd may crash and lose everything. I have my 60K + library on a RAID 5 NAS but I am petrified that something could happen and I lose all the wonderful music I have been collecting for... 
Pass Labs x350.5 & Classe ca-m400 class a power?
Thanks everyone.Teajay, as you pointed out auditioning amps is a major pain. So I am trying to do as much due diligence to narrow down the choices before I try and drag home a 100+ lb amp home. Thanks for your input. I really do appreciate it. 
Pass Labs x350.5 & Classe ca-m400 class a power?
By the way, I am considering the X1 + x350.5 or the CP-700 + CA-M400. Any thoughts in these pairings? 
Pass Labs x350.5 & Classe ca-m400 class a power?
Thanks everyone. Honestly, I am undecided between the Classe and Pass. Those of you who recommend the Pass, can you please let me know why you think it is better than the Classe? Who has been able to directly compare Pass and Classe? 
Pass Labs x350.5 & Classe ca-m400 class a power?
Hi Teajay, thank you for the response. Can you explain single ended class a vs regular class a? 
Wanted:Warm, Sweet preamp.
Do you want SS or tube? What is your budget? For SS, look at Plinius M8. For tube, check out BAT. Of course there are many other options. 
Is the Pass Labs X350.5 and X1 "warm"?
I am surprised to hear opinions about the Pass components on such opposite ends of the spectrum. I have read that the previous .0 version was a bit aggressive and lean sounding. I wonder if people are confusing the .0 and .5 versions? For those of... 
Is the Pass Labs X350.5 and X1 "warm"?
Thanks for the responses. Teajay, do you have any experience with Pass preamps?
