| Preamp for Pass Labs XA30.5 Dodd Audio the battery powered Tube buffer, it sounds great I have heard it with the XA-30.5 sounds extremely good and for the money it is very hard to beat. The matching Labs XP-10, XP 20 are better but several times the costs of the Dodd. | |
| Pass Labs x150.5 question It will work and sound very good but I would get the bigger and more powerful X250.5 instead. | |
| Audioquest PT6 or mod'd RB250? PT-6 come on. I have had both, I like the Rega better. If have the RB 250 re-wired it becomes even better yet. I would recommend the RB 300/301 over the PT-6 and the RB 250. I now have an SME V, and I have had alot of tonearms over the years and I... | |

| NHT Classic 4 vs. Revel F12....? Get the Revel. The NHTs are good but not even near as good as the Revels. I hotrodded a pair of NHT classic 4s but that was a lot of money for a speaker upgrade that has a really bad crossover design. The NHT's crossover is a very complicated desi... | |
| Kef 205/2 You need to better match your amp to your speakers and play with speaker placement in your room. I think that a different amp or amps & moving the speaker arround should help the bass problem. Ie move the speakers further from the wall and lis... | |
| ATI 2007 or NAD M25 Listen to both, Buy the one you like best. Do buy based on reviews. I look at review products as something I should audition but I ultimately make the decision if it is good. | |
