What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8?

The xa30.8 has no trouble whatsoever driving my Treo CT’s.  I’ve never even seen the meter move though I don’t play music too loud.  It sounds pretty incredible.

I’m currently using xlr from my PS Audio DSJr., but have also usrd LTA Microzotl into xa30.8 with single ended cables.  Both work well, both sound great.

I didn’t notice a significant difference without the pre (MZ2 from linear tube audio).  It sounds very good without, maybe a little richer, wetter, with the DSJr.  I’m looking forward to the new Snowmass update from PS Audio.

Actually, I use both, depending on how loud I’m playing music.  If playing low volume, I use low gain and get the volume control at eleven or twelve o’clock.  If playing at higher volume, I go to high gain and turn volume control to appropriate level.  Just play around with it and I’m sure you’ll find combinations that work for you.  Low gain is useful if your source is noisy also.
