Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5
As mentioned above, I was also pretty concerned about the power of the amp and was set on purchasing an X-250.5 for the Thiels. I eventually settled on the XA30.5 after seeing . . . | 83 |

Speaker Placement Issue/Thoughts
Like Rpfef, I've started to become convinced that my hearing is at fault, as the situation has persisted across multiple listening rooms, full equipment changes, and careful . . . | 31 |

B&W + Krell
So, do you run the Oppo 105 through the PW Dac, or do you use them as separate sources? I'm curious how the two compare... I've been trying to figure out whether to add a . . . | 26 |

Repair Exemplar 3910 or ???
I agree with JFZ... I had an Exemplar 2900 and unfortunately replaced it with an unmodified Oppo-BDP93. The Exemplar just killed the Oppo (which I just returned to Amazon). I . . . | 22 |

I feel like a toothless hillbilly - PW DAC
I know you didn't ask, but let me also put my vote in for the Mark II upgrade. I ran into a dealer that was selling them for $700 and that was some of the best money I spent on my. . . | 22 |

Transport for PS Audio PW DAC
Yeah, I'm torn. I could also just give up on disks and start burning everything to a hard-drive. Of course I only have a laptop without a CD drive, so I still have to pay even to. . . | 21 |

New amp? Thiel...
If you read some of my recent threads (which are all really about this same issue), you'll see me engaging in a similar hunt (although my budget was more around 4k for an amp). So. . . | 17 |

rega P5 with dynavector 10x5..which phono?
I have a P3-24 with the same cartridge... Thiel 2.4s and a Pass Labs INT-30A, and have tried three different phonos. One was the Phono board in my Classe-CAP151 integrated (used . . . | 15 |

PS audio PWD MK2 a real upgrade from MKI?
Add me as another (relative) "night and day" vote. Before the MKII upgrade I liked the convenience of the DAC and liked, but did not love the sound. Now I really do . . . | 13 |

Subwoofer with Thiel 2.4s?
Some of these details are in a couple amp threads that I initiated as I worked to build this system, but my real issue is that I am currently driving the 2.4s with a Pass Labs INT-. . . | 13 |

Pass xa600.5, Marantz 9S2 or Mcintosh MC501/MC601?
I've compared an XA-30.5 to a McIntosh MC402 on Thiel 2.4s and the Pass beat it in every category, except bass control. I didn't get a chance to do a head to head, but I've also . . . | 11 |

Peachtree Nova Pre vs. Modwright SWL 9.0 SE
It doesn't have a source-switching remote, but a number of people recommended the Melos SHA-Gold as one of the best imaging pre-amps available, and it has a (supposedly great) . . . | 10 |

Anyone hear the new Thiel 2.7 speakers at RMAF?
I don't know if it was the room or what, but I wasn't impressed at all with these speakers. I heard a Beck track that I know very well off of The Information and it sounded way . . . | 9 |

Oppo-105 vs Oppo-93 + W4S DAC2 for stereo.
Not to resurrect a lost thread, but I tried to use an Oppo 93 as a transport into my PS Audio PWDac, and didn't like it at all... it was quite a bit worse than my old Exemplar/. . . | 9 |

Thiel 2.4 and Pass Labs Amps
I ended up asking this same basic question at the tail end of an old thread of mine, and at least a couple people there also seconded Pass' recommendation away from the Alephs for . . . | 2 |
