| PASS LABS XA-30.5 vs XA-60.5 TVAD:You ask my opinion and them slam me for it....nice. This is the last discussion I will participate in. | |
| PASS LABS XA-30.5 vs XA-60.5 I've talked with other Pass dealers who hear the same improvements I noted above, within various systems. I also did a/b shootout with several audiophile friends listening and we all came to the same conclusion without question. The 60.5's are bet... | |
| PASS LABS XA-30.5 vs XA-60.5 With the Esoteric X-03SE single box player, I could not tell the difference between these two amps. As soon as I moved up to the Esoteric P-05 and D-03 I tried the shootout between them again, and it was an improvement that wasn't subtle. The XA.5... | |
| PASS LABS XA-30.5 vs XA-60.5 Improvements are much tighter bass with more weight and "heftyness" in the low end. The mids and highs are just as sweet as the XA-30.5The 60.5's have more clarity, and overall are smoother than the XA-30.5I don't like using the sound muddy or clo... | |
| PASS LABS XA-30.5 vs XA-60.5 I did go with the XA-60.5's and there was a significant improvement in sound within my system. | |
| Modwright LS 36.5 or BAT VK-51SE Tvad: Was there any hiss or noise with the L2 Reference with the Pass Labs XA-60.5's?I've read several posts where the Lamm L2 reference hisses loudly with just about every other amp besides their own, and Lamm says it's "normal". It's driven peop... | |
| PASS LABS XA-30.5 vs XA-60.5 Emdog and Denon1:I agree, and am in the process of negotiating the purchase of a pair of preowned Daedalus Ulysses speakers. | |
| Modwright LS 36.5 or BAT VK-51SE Erndog: Yes, I want to upgrade speakers as well, and am negotiating on a pair of preowned Daedalus Ulysses.Tvad: Pauls's response regarding the balanced option and impedance was "No, I've never heard a line transformer that I liked, even spent lot... | |
| Modwright LS 36.5 or BAT VK-51SE Please consider that the XO.2 has a decent resale value, so moving to either the BAT, MW or Dude won't cost me much out of pocket once the XO.2 is sold. | |
| Modwright LS 36.5 or BAT VK-51SE Tvad:I appreciate the input. Do you think a balanced TRL Dude would be a better choice? | |
| Modwright LS 36.5 or BAT VK-51SE Bugredmachine:I've never heard either of these tubes, or either of the preamps! I live in northern NH and there isn't much access to demos or dealers around here, so I am going on input I've received and reviews. I would love to hear about the dif... | |
| Modwright LS 36.5 or BAT VK-51SE I thought about the TRL Dude as well, but isn't that a single ended (rca only) preamp?I need balanced inputs and outputs. If the Dude is available with balanced ins and outs, it will certainly be in the running.Can anyone confirm? | |
| Getting Into PC Audio and Need Help Cerrot:Isn't the M-Audio Firewire Solo more of an entry level piece? I've got a ton of money into my Esoteric D-03 DAC so I am pretty much looking at the best of the best at this point. I like the idea of a firewire input, but couldn't find many r... | |
| Getting Into PC Audio and Need Help I spoke with Esoteric and they recommend using a coxial digital output from my PC.I just purchased two Glyph 2T (2000GB) hard drives for storing my music and a back up. These have firewire 400, firewire 800 and usb 2.0 outputs. The Glyph's are con... | |
| Getting Into PC Audio and Need Help Audioengr:Thanks! I'll try it, Steve. I will probably reripp everything as well. I would like to talk this week about an offramp3. |
