Personal amp evolution

Well I'm back to separates. Sold the Pass INT-150 and bought a Pass XP-10 pre and an X150.8 amp. Finest setup to get grave my abode

BTW- Pass recommends balanced cables between their amps & preamps. I tried an unbalanced cable first then balanced. Wow- if you are using Pass gear, run and get balanced. Even a $100 set of Mogami star quad will yield better results than a $1000 unbalanced IC

update
Ayre VX- R to Twenty ( Double Diamond )
also based on using REF 75 SE as a standin will be getting filters, etc to make the MC240 work in the main system.

Sold my Pass X150.5 and regret it almost daily. Back to separates here as well, now using a McIntosh MC275 amp with an Audio Research LS3 pre. Pretty darn good, but the Pass, IMHO, beats pretty much everything else out there. I'll be getting back to Pass shortly - have you heard of Reno Hifi?
