300B vs. KT88 SET?
I have both SET amps. Both are custom made with high quality parts. The kt88 SET amp is using Shuguang Treasure 'Black bottle" kt88-z output tubes and NOS Raytheon 6sl7 "red base" driver tubes and Sovtek 5ar4 rec tube. This is a stereo amp. The ci... 
pass labs xa30.5 vs aleph 3
One thing I noticed is that when an aleph 3 is listed for sale here, they don't last very long. there was one for sale just a couple days ago and it's gone already. someone here has a really nice review of the aleph J, these don't last long either... 
pass labs xa30.5 vs aleph 3
Danielk141the aleph 3 is the amp that Erick uses for his main amp. I think that is the only aleph amp he has. He was a good canidite for the follow up reviews. I have been thinking about trying out aleph J which is suppose to be the best aleph yet... 
pass labs xa30.5 vs aleph 3
Syntax, I have never listen to the xa30 and 30.5. I would have like to do the comparison myself. one thing the new pass amps are more complicated design than the orignal aleph designs. The thing that made the aleph sound the way is does was the si... 
Ayre vs Pass Setup?
I run totem model one wth pass labs aleph 3 (30wpc into 8 ohms and 60 wpc into 4 ohms)in a dedicated smallish music room(11 ft wide x 17 ft lg and 8 ft ceiling). It drives the totem one loud enough for me. I believe that the XA30.5 will drive the ... 
Pass labs with totems
I have pass labs aleph 3 driving totem model 1. The sound is simply incredible. The aleph is rated 30 wpc at 8 ohms and 60 wpc at 4 and 2 ohms. I know of a few that are running the same pass amp with the totem model 1. it is loud enough for me in ... 
Pass Labs xa - .5 amps
I imagine the xa-30.5 is a more dynamic with wider soundstage and better grip on bass. I would like to trade my aleph 3 for one but my budget will not allow it right now. I wonder how it would compare to a first watt aleph j? one thing tho I would... 
Has anyone try the Benchmark DAC1 Preamp?
I have not tried the new dac1 preamp but I do use my benchmark dac1 to control the volumne. I have a adcom 5 disk cd player I use as a transport and the dac1 to my pass labs aleph 3 and my velodyne hgs12 subwoofer. I have totem model 1 for my for ... 
Aleph 3 amp for Theta Miles
makes perfect sense to me, less electronics in between the signal. I use a benchmark dac1 as my pre-amp to feed my Aleph 3 amp and the synergy is incredible. I use an adcom cd player to feed my benchmark dac1 via co-axial cable and bypassing the a... 
Pre amp for Pass Aleph 3
I feed my aleph 3 with a benchmark dac1. I use the volume control on the dac. minimalist route, I have an adcom 5 disk changer feeding the dac1 thru coaxial cable. The sound is pure pleasure to my ears. Speakers are totem model 1 sig. and velodyne... 
Totem Model 1 Sig with Sub or Mani 2 without a Sub
I'm using the Model 1 sig. with a velodyne hgs 12 subwoofer. The sound is incredible. I would switch to the Mani-2 if my pair for pass labs aleph 3 would drive them. these are low power amps with a very addictive sweet sound. the alephs have enoug... 
Best Small Sub
i can't bypass the amps on my velodyne hgs-12 and sunfire mkII. I wouldn't think you would want to bypass the sub's amp since they are matched to the driver and I would not want to put the extra burden on you stereo amp. as far as the 2 super juni... 
Best Small Sub
Hi, I have both a sunfire and velodyne hgs-12. I was just using a sunfire for both HT and music but did not sound right, in fact my HT system was not the best system for music. I listen to music more than Ht. I had to build a seperate system for m...
