| Is Revelation Audio out of business ? Great product for the money but unfortunately they should be avoided due to their earned reputation for poor customer service. Buy used! | |
| Kondo Ongaku needing advise If the oxidation is merely on the inside of the amp i.e. not seen, I wouldn't be too concerned. My understanding is that copper was used for it's EMI/RFI shielding properties. | |
| Pass Labs XA 30.8 Standby power draw? Just to close out this thread, Pass Labs confirmed what three-easy-payments measured that the standby power draw of a XA 30.8 amp is 0.2 to 0.3 watts. | |
| Kondo Ongaku needing advise Did you ask Kondo if the copper top plate is raw copper or copper with a clear coating? If the former, you can expect copper to oxidize. If clear coated (which protects copper from oxidizing), I would ask Kondo why the top plate is now oxidizing... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? Six people in a room, when the cable elevators are removed, 3 hear a difference and 3 don't. Who's right? | |
| Pass Labs int 250 and int 60 It will depend on how hard the speaker is to drive. | |
| Pass Labs XA 30.8 Standby power draw? @kalali, I know that there is a device that plugs into a wall socket and then you plug in the amplifier into the device and it measure the power draw. | |
| Pass Labs XA 30.8 Standby power draw? Thanks for the responses. Yes, 375-400W when powered on is what Pass publishes. I am however surprised by such a low standby draw of only 1/3 watt. For some reason, I was expecting more of a power draw in standby mode. | |

| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! The table's projected price does not make sense when you break it down into its components. As VPI has done in the past, sometimes they build a statement product just to see if it can be done and hope to take some of their findings and trickle it... | |
| Reliability of Cary Audio Products Completely agree. The current Cary is run by an accountant and it shows. That's why they are still in business :-) If you ever picked up a phone and talked to either CEO Billy Wright or any other Cary staff member you would know that they are ... | |
| Beware: New (at least to me) scam being run on Audiogon members Don't see a scam here at all- no money changed hands, no product was sold, no transaction occurred yet the guy was reported as a scammer and shut down? Multiple shots fired, no one hit, no harm done, no need to report it, just move along......... | |
| Beware: New (at least to me) scam being run on Audiogon members Why would someone go to the trouble of creating an Audiogon account for the sole purpose of responding to ad on another audio market other than trying to build false credibility. | |
| Hooking up a Velodyne DD15 Sub to a Pass Labs Point 8 amplifier Thanks Al, much appreciated. | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme 12" - heavier counterweight needed ?! Good luck getting a response from Graham. Historically, they have a poor reputation with respect to customer support. I trully hope that is still not the case today. |
