New Amp help/recomendations?
@mmj have you tried both (4 or 8 ohm) taps ? 
You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss
@erik_squires  It is not simply pick a gain stage, follow that up with suitable output drivers, toss in some distortion mechanism, and poof you have a Pass amp. It's my basic understanding that Nelson Pass designs his amplifiers not specificall...

Hi @english210 Noble quest--complete sound, that is. I applaud you. I can only speak to my experiences with Pass equipment. I have had many of the AB "X" series amps with, mostly, Dynaudio speakers. The Dyns have the hallmark of smooth and natural...

As I’m sitting here enjoying a nice cold beer and listening to music, I read this entire thread*. It was like a tv sitcom. I actually lol a few times. I love this loonie bin and everyone in it. Cheers inmates. *Day 38 in our house on lockdown, so ... 
Lumin X1 or U1 + PS Audio DSD DAC
Do you use Roon to manage your music--ie., core is running in the InnuOs?If you use Roon and jettison your existing chain you will now need a dedicated Roon server. After many different configurations on Roon core integration (two different Lenovo... 
Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25
RIAA, please clarify your position; are you simultaneously ridiculing an audio engineering company and two different US geographic regions? Why are you all butt hurt that others might actually enjoy Rogue gear? I sure hope you are just joking; if ... 
Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ?
Pete (of TWL) was great and informed me of his April discount. I ordered the speaker cables to try as well; Should arrive by Monday.  
Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ?
update: Hated the Audience AU24 SE!!! At first I heard "improvement" in bass--it took me a while to realize what was happening. Higher frequencies were being compressed and damped down. It was quite shocking to experience this effect. The Audience... 
Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ?
Hello. I re arranged the m900 to bottom shelf of the Samson rack, swapped some power cords (IsoTek optimum feeding IsoTek evo3, Nordost Brahma feeding c900, Audience au24se on amp straight into wall receptacle), put the speaker cables on wood bloc... 
Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ?
ok; that’s two solid recommendations for the Triode; I will give it a shot; --update: Placed order! 6 foot, NCF;  
Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ?
@joeinid thanks man. Today is a new day, lol; I'll probably be playing around with the M-900 and power cords more; Sometimes the stars align and the system sounds fabulous; Maybe since everyone is home the local power grid is nasty; It almost se... 
My list of seller red flags
The thought police have arrived here too. God forbid adults can apply ad copy discernment on their own, lol. My two cents: positive feedback.  
Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ?
I forgot to put some context around this; I’m somewhat of a bass freak and prefer the tactile impact 🆚 just hearing things. Not to say the m900 has no balls, and the pass all balls, but rather they meet somewhere along the continuum. The M900 has ... 
Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ?
Happy Easter! I hope everyone is healthy and feeling good. I played around with a Nordost Brahma, Audience Au24se, and Isotek Optimum ( had to use 15 amp adapter ).While I do hear differences among these cables I can tell you that the Pass INT 250... 
Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ?
@4425 great thoughts; I will play around with some power cables; I have some mediocre Wire World stuff but a good friend has shipped me some stuff from Nordost, Audience, and IsoTek; I think it arrives today;The speaker cables are Transparent Audi...
