| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? j35, yes the new models XP-22 & XP-27 do have a power off switch at the IEC connection.

| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? inna, let me try and pull this thread back to center.I own Pass Labs equipment. I presently have the X-350.8, XP-30 and XP25. I upgraded from the X-250.5, XP20 and XP15. Before that I was using Bryston equipment. All great sounding products. I dec... | |

| Best return for the money, system upgrade suggestions please. grmI would recommend that you add a HFC MC-1 Pro power conditioner to your system. It will effect all of the equipment that is plugged into your dedicated line for your system. The effects are not subtle ! | |

| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz 68peteI placed the MC-1 Pro Helix+ on the front end. As a matter of fact I have all the MC-1 Pros on the front end.

| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Last week I added a MC-1 Pro Helix+ to my system. Very impressive. I have a few MC-0.5 and a few MC-1 Pro's already in my system.

| TTW Parts cjaronicaSorry to hear the o rings did not work out. You are right about them being a little harder than the clear ones that Larry sold. These are 70A durometer which is the same hardness as the red o rings that came with many of TTW's tables. I t... | |
