Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ?
ok; that’s two solid recommendations for the Triode; I will give it a shot; --update: Placed order! 6 foot, NCF;

@joeinid thanks man. Today is a new day, lol; I'll probably be playing around with the M-900 and power cords more; Sometimes the stars align and the system sounds fabulous; Maybe since everyone is home the local power grid is nasty; It almost se... 
My list of seller red flags
The thought police have arrived here too. God forbid adults can apply ad copy discernment on their own, lol. My two cents: positive feedback.  
Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ?
I forgot to put some context around this; I’m somewhat of a bass freak and prefer the tactile impact 🆚 just hearing things. Not to say the m900 has no balls, and the pass all balls, but rather they meet somewhere along the continuum. The M900 has ...

Happy Easter! I hope everyone is healthy and feeling good. I played around with a Nordost Brahma, Audience Au24se, and Isotek Optimum ( had to use 15 amp adapter ).While I do hear differences among these cables I can tell you that the Pass INT 250...

@4425 great thoughts; I will play around with some power cables; I have some mediocre Wire World stuff but a good friend has shipped me some stuff from Nordost, Audience, and IsoTek; I think it arrives today;The speaker cables are Transparent Audi...

What an amazing time to find this thread! It's like your a mind reader;Short story: I had a Luxman M-900U with my Dynaudio Confidence 30's and felt that it was a bit lightweight in the dynamic drive and bass authority area; Amazing clarity, presen... 
Chicago-area dealer recommendation

Tone controls -- assuming you're ok with them, when would you try them?
Totally love the tone controls on my c-900 pre-amp; Completely transparent and takes rock performances to another level--far more enjoyable than flat; An interesting thing I noticed is that at higher levels and with a modest boost (3-6 dB on the b...

Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years
@photomax    Thanks! The XA30.8....i'd love to hear that someday; I'm guessing it's on the sonic trajectory of the other 0.8's; clear, clean, wide open; Paired with the right speakers / room would probably be about as good as it gets for SS amps; 
Beware of NAD M3 Fire Hazard
I'd recommend, seriously, this time, not attempting to put resources into repairing it; When the electrolytic off-gassed and spewed its internal magic smoke, conductive fluid (electrolyte) went all over the other parts (IC's in particular) making ...

Consider sending it to the Hydraulic Press guy channel on You Tube and ask for some $$ when he makes thousands from the subscribers; People send him all kinds of stuff; Very entertaining and it’s for science.I’ve had some equipment over the years ... 
Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years
Happy Pi Day;I have had a few Pass amps over the years; X250.5 (circa 2007), X150.8, X250.8, XA30.5, and now INT-250; My system has been in mega churn last half of 2019, but has quieted down recently; I took a tour with some Luxman stuff, the 507U...
