| Pass Labs x350.5 & Classe ca-m400 class a power? Tbooe, the 350.5 has fifty watts class a before it goes into class a/b. It also offers, in its first few watts, single ended class a before it goes into regular class a watts.That's way it offers some of the "warmth/musicality" of the XA series.Do... | |
| Is the Pass Labs X350.5 and X1 "warm"? Tboooe, yes, the 350.5 has a overall sonic signature that could be called "warm" or "musical" yet still has great details/dynamics/extension.I believe you asked this question before, the .5-series is a vast improvement over the first generation X-... | |
| which preamp sounds most transparent? I would recommend that you consider the Placette Active Line Stage, it replaced a ML-32 reference in my system because of its transparent/dynamic/detailed, yet musical sonic signature. | |
| interconnects ? Dwhitt, I would recommend you consider Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference II IC's and Satori speaker wire for an audition in your home rig. Both can be gotten used for very reasonable cost and offer great performance and are very well built.If, you wan... | |
| Anybody use Running Springs Audio Conditioners? Thanks Guy's for your feedback/posts, I'm getting a Jaco delivered tomorrow morning for a ten day audition period. I'm excited to hear what it will do in my system. I'll let you all know what I discovered either with more on this thread or a forma... | |
| B&W 802D + Pass Labs X350.5 a good match? Tbooe, someone who owns B&W 802D's just was at my house to listen to my system. He was enthralled with the overall sound and is quite excited to audition a Pass Labs X-350.5 in his own system, because he found the overall sonic signature to be... | |
| best speakers for vocals? Tboooe, I'm somewhat surprized that no one mentioned MG-20.1's or MG-3.6's, depending on your room size, they offer exactly what you are looking for sonicly, with the type of music you listen to. | |
| Review: Accustic Arts DAC I - MK3 DA converter Pjl2122, I agree with your opinion of the Accustic Arts DAC1 MK3. I did not find any significant difference between the Accustic Arts and Ensemble transports.My question for you is what digital cable did you use during your auditioning process to ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, I was just curious about what's happening with your on-going auditioning of different dacs/transports in your home system.I have not heard anything recently that I thought was that special or was significantly better then my Acoustic Art... | |
| Pass labs X250.5 vs Jeff Rowland Model 10, or 201 Goone, both the 250.5 and 350.5 are great sounding amps, however, the best sounding single chassis amp in the .5 series is the 350.5 by a significant degree. Not just more power, but a qualitative shift towards "musicality" without losing any exte... | |
| ML preamp with Pass Aleph amp ??? Steve, for years my reference in my home system was a pair of monoblock Aleph 1's with a ML-32 preamp which sounded great together. So, I believe the pieces you are asking about could offer a very good synergy together, the ML-380 is not quite on ... | |
| Which digital cable to use with a Benchmark DAC-1 Utopia, to answer your question, digital cable does and can make as much of a difference as IC's and speaker wire. I would recommend you audition the Acoustic Zen Z=MC2 cable, which can be gotten used for a very reasonable price and offers great p... | |
| Accustic Arts DAC I MK3 &Drive I vs. PLAYER I-MK2 Simpleguy, the new revised AA CDP 1-MK2 is a terrific player in its own right, but we are talking about another level of performance when discussing the AA DAC 1 MK3 and transport.I use in my system the AA DAC1-MK3 with a Ensemble reference transp... | |
| are all power conditioners noisy? 24phun, sorry you had bad luck regarding your power conditioner. I use for my digital front end the Ensemble Duo Isolink and for the rest of my system Richard Grays Power Station, two of them in what's called a star cluster arrangement, with great... | |
| Acoustic Zen Action. Coach, I have been a fan of Mr. Robert Lee's wires, owner and designer of Acoustic Zen, for the last five years. His products offer a great cost/performance ratio, are wonderfully built, and have a great balance between "musicality" and details/cl... |
