| Belles 150A Short Review Thanks for your fine review Phd. My audiophile partner just replaced an Audio Lab amp with a Hotrod version of the Belles 150 with the result that his whole system went up another notch towards the sound of real music. The Belles amps are great pi... | |
| Jazz Crossovers to the Pop Charts/Timeless Classic The song The Sidewinder by the late great Lee Morgan became a pop hit and was used on a car commercial around the middle sixties. The Blue Note album sold a great amount for a jazz album and was one of Blue Notes' best selling disks of all times. | |
| Maggies 3.6 vs 20.1 Sorry Chris, I truly meant no offense commenting on the ML Prodigy's. I would like to share just a few respectful comments on them regarding why I find them not to be a very good speaker. They never truly intergrated the panels with the woofers an... | |
| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? Take a look at the threads concerning the new PASS LABS X-.5 series amps.I was using an EDGE NL-10 very happily until I audtioned a X-350.5 and was shocked at how much better it was than the NL-10,which is a world class amp.I also wrote a review t... | |
| Maggies 3.6 vs 20.1 Remember this is just my personnal opinion,even though I think its an educated one, based on audtioning all the speakers your interested in.First,the ML Prodigy has been dicontinued for good reasons,they were lousy sounding speakers. ML has not ma... | |
| What is a 'fast' amp? The way my friends and I use the term "fast" is an amp that has the ability to reproduce great and accurate details. Some people associate "fast" with bright and forward sounding,not good virtues,however the details and dynamics that a fast amp ha... | |
| RIP Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen So sorry to hear this. He was a great player, who contributed so much to the music. He will be greatly missed,but not forgotten. | |
| Heard the Ensemble Dirondo player? Hello Ciscomc, Have you completed your audtioning process regarding the Ensemble CDP vs. the seperates and if so what did you hear and what did you decide regarding your purchase? I would love to hear about your experience. Also,did you get to hea... | |
| Pass Labs X-250 vs. X-600 In the original X-series the gem sonicly is the X-600s. Not just more power but a significant improvement in all factors such as details,timbres,soundstage,etc. However, you might want to try either a new X-350.5 or when it comes out shortly,a pai... | |
| Electrocompaniet vs Krell vs Musical Fidelity My girlfriend's system is composed of the ECI-3 and a EMC-1UP driving a pair of MG1.6s and its sounds terrific.She tried other CDP but loved the sound of the two EC pieces together. I cannot and will not argue with Steve over "circuit design" but ... | |
| New Pass Labs X.5 series versus previous X series I have no doubt that the monoblocks will be a refinement of what the single chassis x.5s will offer. I did post a formal reveiw here on the GON, hope you took a look at it, so I won't go into the many virtues I shared in my reveiw of the 350.5 amp... | |
| Heard the Ensemble Dirondo player? Yes, I have heard this player in my own home system and agree its a terrific CDP.I was luckly enough to be able to afford the Ensemble Dichrono Hi-DAC and Dirondo Transport. The CDP gives you about 80% of the performance of the two pieces.I audtio... | |

My "honor roll" of "overachieving" products would include the following; 1}MG 1.6s Great speakers at a reasonable price that compete with much more expensive speakers and sound better than alot of them.2}Placette passive line stage Sounds great an... | |
| How good is Empirical Audio's Parasound JC1 Mod? I have always been interested in a comparsion between the stock JC1'S and the PASS X 350.5 regarding overall sonic signature and specific sound differences between the two amps. This post regarding the JC1 mod gives me the chance to ask this quest... | |
| Warm interconnects recommendation I believe you would enjoy the sound of ACOUSTIC ZEN martix reference 2s in your system. They have a wonderfully smooth and full organic sound with excellent details and a large and layered soundstage. You should be able to find a used pair for aro... |
