Pass Labs amp choice for CLS - What would you do?
Dchazen, take a look at my Gon reviews of the 350.5, XA-100's and XA-30.5's to get the details why I would select the 350.5 over the X-600's. I did not care for the X-series amps sonicly, but the X-.5 series are great sounding amps.Srwooten, I'm g... 
Review: Pass Labs XA60.5 monobloks Amplifier
Hi Dev, it's good to hear from you. I have called you at least a couple of times in the the last 3 to 4 months to get your opinion regarding a few things audio, but was not able to get of hold of you. I have not replaced the fuses in my MBL transp... 
Review: Pass Labs XA60.5 monobloks Amplifier
Elberoth2, I'm very curious what your opinion will be regarding the performance of the XA30.5 with your Wilson speakers. I have heard the Dartzeel, not in my own system, and thought it was quite good, my hunch is the 30.5 will give you more of the... 
Review: Pass Labs XA60.5 monobloks Amplifier
Elberoth2, since I had the 350.5 in my system at one time I can objectively tell you that the XA-60.5's are in a totally different sonic league and that would include microdynamics. The 60.5's have the lowest noise floor I have ever experienced in... 
Review: Pass Labs XA60.5 monobloks Amplifier
Onemug, it's been my experience that biamped MG-20's or 20.1's always sound/perform on a higher sonic level mainly because of using an active x-over vs. the passive stock one. Many owners of 3.6's have gone this way also, active x-crossover and a ... 
Review: Pass Labs XA60.5 monobloks Amplifier
Thanks guys, for your kind words towards my review. Peterayer, I was the first to post on your review on the XA100.5 and thought your review was very well written and informative. About the prat issue, I find the XA60.5's to be a much more dynamic... 
Modwright KWA150 VS Pass XA160.5
Hi DL, take a look at my review that just was posted here on the GON on the XA60.5's for details about why the XA.5 series amps are wonderful. I did not run the experiement comparing the KWA 150 vs a XA.5 amp, in his case it was the stereo XA30.5,... 
SS Amps that are NOT warm and euphonic ?
I highly recommend you audition either Odyssey Audio Khartago or Stratos stereo amps which meets all the requirements you are looking for. You get a 30 day audition period to see what they sound like in your system. Check out the rave review of th... 
Old Ensemble Dichrono DAC
Hi Andre, take a look at my review of both the Ensemble transport and Dichrono DAC here on the GON. It will give you very good details regarding the sonics of this DAC. All Ensemble gear is beautifully built and of high quality. If you can get a p... 
The Best Tube Amplifiers vs Spectron ?
Hi Michael, not trying to rain on your parade regarding looking for others who believe that the Spectron amps are the "BEST" in the world, however their is no "BEST" of anything in the crazy world of high end audio. You always have to take in cons... 
Magnepan speaker set-up
Ratherbsurfn, hanging 1.6 from the ceiling has been tried without good results. Look at my review of the Myesound stands for upgrade in sonic performance that is hard to believe. 
Threshold VS PASS
Stereoheads, right now in my system I have a pair of Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks and a pair of the legendary Threshold SA-1 Monoblocks driving my MG-20's.I never warmed up to Pass Labs X series amps, but the X.5, XA, and XA.5 series take the best ... 
What preamp to pair with Spectron
Ten5turbo, a dear friend has a pair of the latest generation of Specron's, and has great sonic results with the Modright 36.5 and the Audio Valve Eklipse. He recently has been auditioning the Wired4sound STP se and has been surprized how well it p... 
Pass X.5 heat
Totally agree with Ozzy, I would not put your amp in an enclosed cabinet, it would over heat.
