| Pass X150 vs. X250 Do a search on Agon and you will find info on this question. The X-250 is slightly more refined, better bass weight/slam and to me sounded a little more extened in the top end. Maybe having more details too but it was a while back.Happy Listening. | |

| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? I hear the differences in PCs but nothing huge, just slight changes. I hae a friend who hears more than me with his system. I also have dedicated lines. I will eventually get around to trying one the conditioners to see if I can hear more of a dif... | |

| what pre amp for my setup, In my experience like all components, each changes the sound either better (to your liking) or worse (not to your liking). So premaps will add more dynamics and more fullness to the mids so don't. There are plenty of dealers who will send you a pr... | |

| Wadia 860SE or Wadia 27ix/270 Combo? Call Steve he is an honest guy and will tell you what the differences will be, as I remember the SE includes the new platter which makes a big improvement.Happy Listening. | |
| Pre-Amp for Parasound JC-1 As a follow up to Bobs post, I owned a BAT VK-30SE and it shut down a few SS amps that I had audtioned. I never could find the DC leakage but it did happen on those amps that had the DC sensor. Try before buying.Happy Listening. | |

| Various Wadia models Vs Cary Audio and others I have recently tried the Wadia 850 CDP(with the top of the line upgrade from Great Northern Sound) and a newer 861 Basic CDP. I had no problems running them direct into my amp or with my Pass X-1 preamp. I thought that the modified 850 worked per... | |
| Power Cord Quandry The LC-1 works great on preamps and digital components, but you hae to check its rating to use on amps. The LC-2 was not the best match for my Pass Labs X-250 power amp, I still prefer the David Elrod Sig 3 on the amp. The TG Audio Silver and JPS ... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso ? Rayhall, there is also a Calypso line stage that retials in the same price range of the Hovland. I have not heard it though.Happy Listening. | |
| Speaker Choices for Tube Amps KeithRNo, I have not upgrades to VK-31SE. I have been using a Pass X-1 with the Pass X-250 in balanced operation. I will do a preamp shootout earlier next year as I have been auditioning DACs over the past month. Then I plan on doing another amp s... | |
