| Review: Pass Labs X-350 Amplifier Curious - Based on your experience, it doesn't seem as if you were listening to the same amp that the rest of us have heard. Now I'll grant you that the Pass X series amps are not tolerant of problems or poor synergy elsewhere in the system. But I... | |
| Review: Pass Labs X-350 Amplifier Thanks and congrats on a most excellent upgrade. Given the efficiency of your Wilson 5.1s, the amount of headroom you have with the X1000s must be truly breathtaking. When my situation improves, I'm looking to move to a pair of X600s. In the meant... | |
| Magneplanar 3.6R + Pass Aleph Amps Mate ? I owned 3.5Rs before I went up to 20Rs and had a chance to try out several power amps. I don't know what your budget is, but here goes. On the cheap, Bryston does a pretty good job. I had a 4B ST, initially. Good low end control, decent midrange a... | |
| Audiogon Grammys In the film score category, I'd nominate the soundtrack from Lord of eh Rings - The Two Towers. Superbly recorded and stunning music. Theater systems will not prepare you for how good this soundtrack is. If you liked the film at all, this recordin... | |
| Question for ARC line stage owners Hi, Catpenny - I will second your observation on the substitution of 6H23s for 6922s - they make a substantial difference for the approx $200 cost (vendor: Upscale Audio). For my LS22r, this meant improved transparency, smoother top end and more l... | |
| Review: Pass Labs X-350 Amplifier Hey, Bigkidz - You're right about the preamp. Now, I just run the DP-75 directly into the Pass X350. The LS22r is used only for phono and tuner listening. | |
| Review: Pass Labs X-350 Amplifier Hi, Zaikesman - Thanks for the compliment. It's taken quite a while and no little amount of experimentation to get the system balanced so that all of its elements harmonize and synergize. And you're right - the location doesn't hurt, either. Our p... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I would tend to agree with our colleague FastPArrot - I just purchased a used Accuphase DP-75 and I was unprepared for just how good that unit sounded. Got the DP-75 a couple of days ago. I gave it a few hours to warm up to room temperature before... | |
| Review: Levinson No-331 Amplifier You might give the new Pass XA200 a try. Pure class A, and if it's anything like the X350 I own and use on Mageneplanar MG20Rs, you're in for a treat. Check out the Pass X350 review thread for some further thoughts on Levinson amps. You're percept... | |
| Review: Pass Labs X-350 Amplifier Hi, folks -Thanks for the commentary and the advice. I'll try to respond to all that I've see nso far:1. Break-in time. All I can say is that, after 250 hours or so, we didn't notice any further changes in the X350s attributes that we could direct... |
