| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? As usual Troy, you hijacked a thread to push your wares.I like meters also. Just think that new coda looks like tic tac toe board. I’m sure it sounds great. I’ve stated that elsewhere. Hell I’ve talked to Doug, he’s a good guy. He thinks meters... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? Back to an earlier comment.With Pass (250.8 in my case). When I say they might not be the ultimate in top end resolution, I will clarify by saying this. You don't lose any information, all the notes are there etc. But say something like cymbals... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? Knew it was just a matter of time before Troy showed up and told us why his products are superior to Pass.Predictable and amateur. The OP specifically asked about Pass, not comparisons to others, said there may be better amps, but specifically ask... | |
| Spatial Audio M3 Tubo S open baffle speaker review I had the chance to demo these in my home last year. They are a very nice, fun speaker. They do a lot right and for their price are really good.They do not seem to hold value very well (looking at the used market). Dynamic as all get-out, great... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? So if I had to absolutely nitpick...250.8 - runs warm, no question it warms my room up. Not horribly so, but it does.May not be the absolute best at top end resolution and sparkle.I've heard Class D amps that are a bit punchier in the bass, a sha... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? I have the XP12 and 250.8.Really like them, the weakness is that because like most of us I like to try new things... but these are the first combo that I've been afraid to sell off and try something else!So, suppose tempering the fun of research a... | |
| Paradigm Persona series One of the biggest factors regarding a bright speaker and why many don't like them.https://ehomerecordingstudio.com/fletcher-munson-curve/Fletcher Munson Curve. As I stated much earlier in this thread. The Persona probably works better for a lis... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @gtaphile And I could make the argument that Oppo could buy in such larger quantities, and build in larger quantities, and have a team of engineers with resources design, test, and build it much faster and take advantage of... wait for it... econo... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @gtaphile Why should the Lampi best the Oppo? Besides cost? Honestly wondering. I'm not saying it doesn't, but it's not a given.They look great, they are built by hand. I've heard the Amber and the Big 7, both are good (and obviously not the to... | |
| Paradigm Persona series @csmgolf Agreed. Tried saying the same thing. Amazing how defensive owners of a speaker feel. If you like it, good on ya. As for Dave and Troy... well... you may have learned by now they are never wrong and can magically tune any speaker with... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @gtaphile So if it’s more expensive, it has to sound better to everyone?Is there a multiple where that happens for sure?Ah, the speaker wire and interconnect companies love these thoughts... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! It's entirely possible that the Oppo 205 sounds better to some people than the Lampi.A huge corporation with all sorts of resources, vs a smaller boutique company.Doesn't mean that it is better, but it's entirely possible. Just as the reverse is ... | |
| Paradigm Persona series @ctsooner You are correct. Troy and Dave (no shocker) think they are one of approximately 5-6 dealers in the country that know how to set-up a speaker and experiment with electronics.Call them what you will, bright, detailed, accurate etc. That'... | |
| Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more Elac DDP2 | |
| Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more The moon 390 sounds excellent in all regards, but obviously you pay for that. The same dealer I’ve heard it at sells the NAD, they don’t love it. They prefer the node with a better dac. I heard it briefly. It was OK. |
