| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Unsound, not I'm not, I guess I just saw in some other threads that people had used those with Pass Amps and had success... and they were recommended in here. And, perhaps it was just made it an easier choice to be biased towards either tubes or S... | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Thanks for all the comments folks... it's been useful, even if somewhat discursive. I've been leaning towards Aesthetix Calypso, mostly because it is fully balanced and has especially high gain, although I see that the Stereophile measurements hav... | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Ha! It is funny to see people's reactions. The amp does, for example, easily best the Classe, as it should given the quality and price difference. Also, unless I'm mistaken, simply watching the front current meter should provide a pretty good indi... | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Unsound: Yeah, I've only lived with the amp and speakers for a week or so (both are new to me), so other than some initial impressions of really hearing some great stuff out of the two, I still don't know either in much detail. Perhaps in the end ... | |

| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Unsound: This doesn't really matter, and I don't know the true state of affairs because I haven't directly compared the XA30.5 to the X250.5, but if you take a look at the entire thread, you'll see that it is actually a recommendation, and that th... | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Here's a quote from Nelson Pass from a discussion about choosing a Pass amplifier for the 2.4s..."The XA30.5 will beat out the X250.5 for the first 20 watts or so because it has a much higher bias, and this is particularly true of low impedance lo... | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 As mentioned above, I was also pretty concerned about the power of the amp and was set on purchasing an X-250.5 for the Thiels. I eventually settled on the XA30.5 after seeing Nelson Pass explicitly recommend it over the other comparably priced am... |
