@isaacc7 thsnk you!  
New Pass Labs Go To
I was as surprised as the rest of you that he retired after the move to AZ, but I guess that was his plan all along. I bought a SIT3 from Mark a few years back and probably one his last XA25s over this past summer. The XA25 was a lightly used demo...

I'm enjoying this thread although getting in a bit late.  I owned a Cary SLA70 Signature for 15 years so also a Dennis Had fan.  I had been following Dennis' sales on eBay 4-5 yrs ago but was never was able to get in touch with him.  I wanted to s...

Insightful interview with Clapton who was intrigued by JJ Cale’s music, technique and lifestyle.

Short list of musical subwoofers
I'm running my 15 year old SVS PB12's with two SB-1000 Pro's.  3 subs fill a large room and compliment Klipsch Belle's wonderfully.  I wish the phone app worked with the PB12's.  Tuning from the listening position is a very nice feature. However,...

+1 for Zu Dirty Weekends - I run them with a 15 wpc Cary 300B SET integrated.  The DWs were $1K with the base finish when I bought them 15 months ago.  I team them with a pair of SVS SB1000 Pro subs which were less than $1K.  This is a nice $2K co...
