| Can it get better? @ghdprentice Thanks. I’m here to learn so feel free to go on. No pressure! At the moment I feel like tone and texture is where it needs to be. A lot of that is a function of the speakers but the amp is so transparent yet smooth it let’s a lot o... | |
| Can it get better? Bring on the worms. 😉 Can you expect a significant drop in noise when separating the power supply and circuitry of the power amp from the preamp? A pre that I’m interested in seems to have a stout power supply and lots of capacitance. Not sure h... | |
| Can it get better? @hilde45 appreciate the discussion. This is a great forum when it’s working. | |
| Can it get better? @tuberist It may turn out that after years of cost and headache, I'll come to my senses and get back to the integrated solution. 🤕 | |
| Can it get better? Thanks to all for the thoughtful comments. Regarding changing integrateds vs. moving to separates, my thought process has been: it will be easier to tailor the sound by investing in a quality pre with the potential for playing nicely with a varie... | |
| Can it get better? @chorus @geof3 Thanks for the replies. It's the age old discussion about Harbeth speakers and how much power is required given their relatively low sensitivity. My experience with the Int-25 is that it does check a lot of boxes and perhaps the... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Sorry first disc.. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Jimi Hendrix: Songs for groovy children: The Fillmore East Concerts (Qobuz) Isabella leading into Machine Gun on the second disc is insane. | |
| Primare I35 vs Naim Supernait 3 You got a good bit of information and bit the hand that fed you. Why are you even posting here? | |
| Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout. A lot of people have heard the KEF LS50. Might be a nice comparison point. $1500 for the metas. | |
| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy OP's speakers are listed as 87.5 dB sensitive and 8 ohm. I'm always curious about the amp choices people make when it comes down to power vs. sound quality characteristics. Always seems to be some sort of compromise... | |
| How good is Pass INT25? I agree with @steveashe on all points. I've used one for 2 years now and consider it a keeper. If you can score a demo from Mark at Reno HiFi I would argue that it is a good value as well. Audiophile terms elude me but to sum it up with my system:... | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system The Pass Int-25 delivers the sound qualities you desire and gives you up to about 100 watts into 4 ohms. Drawbacks: takes about an hour to sound its best, gets up to about 50 degrees C, and is not the greenest of gear. | |
| Amplifiers in use with big Harbeths (Mon 40 series) that work very well Curious if you’ve tried the Audions with them and how they fared. | |
| Sugden IA-4 @grk How is the synergy between the xa25 and the super nines? I am considering this combination. Thanks. |
