Recommendation for a highly resolving amp
I have Don Sachs 2 tube preamp driving Pass Labs X350.5 driving Sound Lab M545 ESL speakers. I like the sound very much, but when I went to hear my friend’s Spectral system (driving Quad2912 ESL) I realized my system can benefit from having a higher resolution amp. Spectral amps need all Spectral preamp/cabling, which would be quite expensive. What would you recommend?

@chungjh If I am not mistaken. You have big speakers in a small room. I believe I recommended in the past you use either acoustic paneling and /or contact Mitch Barnett at https://accuratesound.ca to have him measure your room remotely and then have him create Convolution files for your ROON server. So when you stream from ROON to your X1 (before the DAC) your will have the sound optimized for your listening space. This is like using an old time Equalizer but today you do this in computer software. Some very detailed amps I own or have owned, though I think chasing an amp is not worth it unless you have tamed your room first. - Benchmark AHB2 (my favorite) - LSA Voyager 350 GAN (after mods by EVS) - various Brystons - CODA #8 (not as detailed but close) BTW - You replied that you tried Fibre Optic cable. That makes it sound like you tried it and switched to something else. This does not seem correct, because Fibre is so much better than the other connector types. I am not referring to TOSLINK optical cable but Fibre Optical cable. |
