| Levinson Amp Experts, I need your help please Why are you considering an amp change? Are you having reliability problems with the Pass or is the heat the only issue?All the best. | |
| Pass X150 vs. X250 The XA200 is $28,000 while the XA-160's are $18,000. They are not meant to be replacements for the X-Series but a compliment to the line. One weakness of the Aleph series was their inability to drive low impedance speakers. That trait is also inhe... | |
| What after Aleph 3, need more juice? I have used this speaker as my reference for six years. It has been my experience that they need a lot of power to sound their best. I have used a Krell KSA-150, BAT VK-500 with BAT-PAK, Pass Aleph 1.2 monoblocks (Aleph 2 is a better match for som... | |
| VPI JMW9 Tonearm setup questions Just a point of clarification. The JMW 9 is not oil damped. | |
| VPI Aries - either or question, please comment Semi, the HR-X uses two 24 pole motors, which are 7 degrees offset from each other. It takes a lot of torque to spin the flywheel as well as the platter with the perimeter clamp. To use a smaller motor doesn't make sense with all that mass. | |
| Kharma Reference Monitors Be warned. By purchasing the speakers overseas and shipping them to the U.S. you run the risk of the U.S distributor not having to provide support in the event you have a problem. That could mean you would have to ship the speaker back to Europe i... | |
| How hot do a pair of Pass Labs X600 amps run ? The heat sink temperature on my 600's is about 114 degrees Fahrenheit at idle. The amps contain a thermal cutout that will shut them down if the heatsink temperature exceeds 167 degrees Fahrenheit. This is considerably cooler than the heat sinks o... | |
| VPI HR-X vs SME 20 Jonathon, I don't think you understand the point I am trying to make here. Your blanket statement that the HR-X has problems appears to be based upon one person's experience. To say that all of the tables have problems based upon one person's expe... | |
| VPI HR-X vs SME 20 Jonathan, let me make sure I have got my facts straight here. Is it correct to assume that your assertions regarding problems with the motor and arm on the HR-X are based on one friend’s experiences? If that is indeed the case, to make a blanket s... | |
| VPI HR-X vs SME 20 Jonathan, to post that a product is having problems without going into any details borders on irrisponsibility. What are you basing your comments on? I ordered my HR-X during the HE 2002 show when the prototype was first shown. The table was deliv... | |
| Pass Labs Service I want to add my two cents worth also. You cannot beat the service at Pass. Joe, Peter, Wayne, Kent, Desmond and of course, the ringleader, Nelson are an absolute pleasure to work with. They have always been willing to answer my questions and they... | |
| Pass Labs Aleph Amps With Dynaudio Speakers? Subaruguru, the Aleph 1.2 is not a stereo amp. It is a 200 watt per channel monoblock. | |
| Upgrading VTL 2.5 pre-amp to: CAT, BAT, or ARC? The BAT VK-5i requires the use of an outboard phono stage. The internal phono board BAT offers was not an option on the VK-5i. | |
| What amps do you use with your Revel Salons/Studio A friend uses Pass X-600's with his Salons. He really likes the combination. | |
| Which pre-amp for the VAC 30/30 I used the VAC 30/30 Mk. III with a BAT VK-5i and had no hum problems whatsoever. Proved to be very nice sounding combination. |
