| 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... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? 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... | |

| CD player - need your opinion Would you consider a stand alone DAC, instead of a CDP? A good friend just went through an audtion process of CDPS and DACS in your price range and came to the conclusion that a Bel Canto DAC 2 was the best sounding in his system.It seemed to be i... | |
| McIntosh 501 or 602 for Magnepan 20.1 I power my MG-20's with a combination of Threshold SA-1s with a Pass labs 350.5. The 350.5 sounds great on these speakers and powers them effortlessly. So even if you are not going to bi-amp your maggies I would suggest you add the Pass labs 350.5... | |
| High quality transports I had a ML31.5 for over five years in my system and found it to be a great transport regarding its sonic signature. It had replaced a CEC TL-1 which had a soothing, romantic sound but lacked PRAT and details in my system. I now have a Ensemble dir... | |
| Review: Pass Labs X350.5 Amplifier Hello Page12, thanks for your kind words regarding my review. The answer to yourquestion is that you would keep the warmth and richness of your SA/3, but gain wonderful details, more natural timbers, more "air" around the individual players in the... | |
| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound Chris, I never tried long plate Mullard's in the AA DAC, regular Mullards were way to "dark/romantic" lacking extension and dynamics for me, but Amperex long plate D-getters give me musical pleasure to a high degree. Recently, in my new preamp, I ... | |
