Preamp for Pass Labs X150.5 or X250.5 Very happy with X250.5 and JRDG Capri. I see the new version of the Capri is available with optional DAC. | |
Adding an expensive power cord to Chip amp I've had good responses with moderately priced cords, never tried an expensive one. Have used Audience, Tekline, Transparent. | |
Teac PD H750 I liked the PD-H600 well enough to buy 2. Haven't heard the 750, though I think the Marantz 8004 is more the competition than the 6004, and then it's a matter of personal preference not quality difference. I believe the Marantz units in general ha... | |
Wadia 781i vs 381i If you love your CD3 MKll try the ARC CD5. I made that upgrade and was quite pleased. | |
Classe DR25 I liked the sound of the Twenty Five much better than DR-25 with Snell B Minor and Aerial 8, using Classe Six ll preamp. | |
Classe DR25 I much preferred the Twenty Five to the DR-25 in my system. I think the old Stereophile review of the Fifteen compared to the DR-15 also applies to the 25 series. | |
Pass x250.5 - Biwire? It worked fine with a double run of Discovery Cables with spades on my Pass X250 | |
Naim Repair I contacted avoptions (Skokie Illinois) and Chris got back to me within minutes. Thanks ! | |
Power Cord up to $100? Lots of debate on this. Some amps come with very good stock cords, many do not. Transparent and Pangea make some very good cords that can be had for under $100. Gene Rubin sells some great Naim power cords for $33.00 | |
Jeff Rowland 2 or Classe 25 for Avalon Eclipse Just a reminder that the Classe Twenty Five and the Classe DR-25 are very different sounding amps. | |
DALI EUPHONIA MS5 Driving Issue I am very happy with MS 5 and Pass X250.5 | |
best? Sony 5400 or Cambridge 840c or 851C Thanks The 5400 and 840c seem to have quite variable and often extreme responses. The latest TAS reviewer certainly feels the 840c and 851c are quite different from each other. | |
Best preamp 2k or under, new or used JRDG Capri | |
Recommendation Speaker Cable around $1000-$2000 I own and very much like Clear Day Double Shotgun, but much prefer Transparent Audio Super MM2 in my main system. But if you want to spend less, the Clear Day and Mapleshade Double Golden Helix Plus are great values. | |
