| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss @gdnrbob @three_easy_payments,What speakers are you using?BobSpendor D7. It actually said in post above. | |
| Listening to music matters Freddie Hubbard thought my woof was going to blow? was wondering if it was possibly caused through subsonic rumble. I'm guessing warp wasn't the issue. | |
| Schiit setup troubleshooting @atmasphere I don't think the Freya S has tubes. I believe the Freya+ is the tubed model. | |
| Listening to music matters Freddie Hubbard thought my woof was going to blow? Was it on vinyl? | |
| The best place to listen to music?? I'd like to just hear his selections and not get too caught up in the audiophile experience. It's a venue with attitude and a vibe, not a studio. | |
| Pass XA25 or Pass XA 30.8 One factor that did go into my calculus was the differentially balanced inputs and circuit in the XA30.8 compared to the XA25. While a non-factor for many I did want to combine my fully balanced VAC pre with a fully balanced amp. | |
| Pass XA25 or Pass XA 30.8 You may want to check out my comments as well as others on this recent thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/you-ve-tried-other-amps-and-ended-with-pass-please-discuss I believe it will be a very long time before I get the itch again to b... | |
| Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot @almarg I believe the OP's reference to "cabinet" pertained to the metal enclosure of the amp itself. Ah yes, I see I likely misread. | |
| Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot You probably shouldn't have it placed inside of a poorly ventilated cabinet. My Class A amp is warm but not burning hot to the touch but I choose place it on an amp stand, not even within a rack. Ventilation is important. | |
| Transformer coupled outputs/inputs in preamplifiers. I didn't even think about this being a factor in why my VAC preamp pairs so well with my Pass amp. I had attributed much of the synergy to the impedance match primarily but this makes a lot of sense. | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss I don't have a lengthy data set of amps to reflect on but when I replaced my Cary CAD 120-S MKII with a Pass XA30.8 I was in sonic heaven. The XA30.8 drove my Spendor D7 speakers so much better with a deeper and more precise bass, larger depth an... | |
| Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today I’m not sure that a preamp is heavy enough for the Jumbo DH cones. I thought they were recommended by GS for heavy components and speakers. I could see the high frequency exaggeration if used on lightweight equipment. I use the small DH cones in c... | |
| 30 Watts of class A power: What Speakers are you using and suggesting? @ostrey I recently discovered my pass labs xa30.8 sounds amazing with 4 ohm or difficult loads. That is what I tend to stick to now. That's because Pass (as stated by Desmond Harrington) indicates the XA30.8 will output 90 watts @ 1% into 8Ω a... | |
| Best Tubes on Market today? DC offset most certainly can and does exist on AC lines. And it can definitely cause or exacerbate mechanical transformer hum/buzz on both tube and SS amps. I have personally witnessed even an inexpensive Emotiva CMX-2 reduce mechanical hum/buzz... | |
| 30 Watts of class A power: What Speakers are you using and suggesting? I'm using a Pass Labs XA30.8 to effortlessly drive Spendor D7s. |
