Pass XA30.5 vs. X150.5
HI,I have not hard the 150.5 but can tell you that the XA30.5 is a great amp. Whether it is a good match for your speakers is hard to say. I had the XA 30.5 with very efficient 8 ohm speakers and it was a great match. I went to a 4 ohm speaker wit...

Review: Pass Labs XA60.5 Monoblocks Amplifier
Don c55This is what I was referring to when I talked about respecting other people. Using words like "meaningless" and attempting to discredit someone is not what it is about for me. I gave my thoughts about the differences that I heard between th... 
Review: Pass Labs XA60.5 Monoblocks Amplifier
Don c55Thanks for your response. I listen pretty much each night after work for about 3-4 hours and more on the weekends. I agree with you and think speaker efficiency is an important point as the previous speakers I owned before my current speake...

Best Rock Album in 2011
Well, 2011 is only a quarter done but these are my thoughts. I have Wasting Time by the Foo Fighters and it is a really strong album. I really like Collapse Into Now by REM from March of this year. In terms of CD's coming later in the year, I have...

Disappointing Evening
Everybody has different priorities in their lives and what is a passion for one person means nothing to someone else. Whether it is audio, cars, clothes, food, homes etc, people look at the world differently. When people see my system, they might ... 
Need advice on CD-Player
There are so many possibilities. I can tell you that I have one of the Ayon Cd players and it is very good. It is the third Ayon I have owned and they have very natural sound, give you the detail, and even though they have tubes, they do not have ...

After reading all of the responses, I wanted to share my experience. I have a room that is 12 feet by 23 feet and i have the speakers on the short side of the room.The speakers come out 56 inches from the wall behind them and I have about 8 feet b... 
Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s
I know there is information on the Ayon site about the CD5-S. I am wondering the same thing. The only think I know for sure is that the USB connection has been upgraded to the same level as the other newer models. Maybe someone else can give more ... 
what amp will match well with Tyler acoustics
I use the Pass 30.5. I have the D1's and they do not require a lot of power. I find this combination very smooth and the vocals are wonderful. Stephen 
cardas golden cros vs golden reference
It depends on what you are using in your system. I have a Pass amp, Rowland Pre, and Ayon CD player. I primarily use Golden Reference. It is the speaker cable and all of the power cords. However, I use Golden Cross as the XLR interconnect between ...

Hi,Did you even run your Ayon cd-5 directly into ss amps and how did it sound? How good is the tubed pre amp in the cd-5? thanks stephen 
Bel Canto Ref1000 MK2 Or Ref 500m ?
