| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) "Again try the Tele's"I wish life could be that simple. | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) " perhaps your LS held back by the tubes.... ?"A better set a of tube such as the Amperex 6299 would improve the sound but I don't think it will solve some of the 17LS weakness such as dynamic, bass, and linearity. I think in order to get the Xp... | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) fjn04,Although I think the XP10 is a very good pre amp, I had wished I should have bought may be a 16LS or some Cary tube amps. But then I design my own speakers so in that sense, the XP10 is more neutral and probably better since it allows me to... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Also another question to ask is that can we invent a device that sound even better than tubes and transistors? Does such a device exist?I mean it took lots of money and time back then to invent tubes and transistors. It seems like in term of hum... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? If transistors came first, it's probably true that we would not have tubes since there are no reasons and as the saying goes, necessity is the mother of all inventions, people wouldn't spend their time working on something that is not needed. But... | |
| Simaudio W7 amp sounds not quite expected I feel stupid because the problem is traced back to a faulty speaker connectors - for whatever reason it slightly short. Now the sound is a lot more like it. It's like the W3 but a lot better in every way.But anyway, will wait for the Pass Labs ... | |
| Simaudio W7 amp sounds not quite expected This is a second hand amp that I bought so probably well broken in. | |
| Simaudio W7 amp sounds not quite expected The power cable suggestion turns out to be interesting. I currently use some beefy cables I bought from Amazon which has worked out fairly well in my system. I just swapped out with the power cable that comes with the amp. Now the sound is some... | |
| Simaudio W7 amp sounds not quite expected That's a good suggestion. I currently have QED 40 reference but only single ended. Once I get the Pass Labs XP10 and using balance, hopefully it will help.There is something in the midbass that I wish it could be a bit more speedy. It's possib... | |
| Simaudio W7 amp sounds not quite expected I agree that the W7 is more refined with better resolution and dynamics, but I wish it could be slightly more forward and slightly more nuanced. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over by Lenny Kravitz. | |
| Could you recommend a nice used USB DAC? First, my preamp is a Conrad Johnson 17LS and although it's a very good preamp, it's a bit laid back so it may not reveal all the details. Hopefully I get a new preamp soon. After listening to the Ayre for a few weeks now I have come to the conc... | |
| Where can find the circuit of this power distributor Everything I have is the same. The power cables are all the same. | |
| Jeff Rowland Design Group I had never owned any of his components but their looks are second to none. I guess in high end sometimes looks come first. | |
| Simaudio P5 or Conrad Johnson ET5 Thanks for the responses. I really want to buy the ET5 but I feel like its lacking of balance connections may present a problem down the road. A couple of more candidates are the SimAudio P7 and Ayre K-5xe. Although I have not heard these but k... |
