| Nuforce STA200 I haven't read this whole thread, and maybe it was mentioned, but does the Sys have a remote control? Thanks, | |
| PS Audio DirectStream DAC driving VAC Amps Cannot speak to that combo, but the DS deives my Pass xa30.8 very well. | |
| Advice on bookshelf speakers (Sierra 2, Buchardt, Monitor Audio, LS50) I listen to a lot of the same music as you, and am enjoying my s400’s with all of it. I have them about a foot from the wall, and sit about ten feet away. I’ve only partially broken them in and they seem to be getting better every day. I would ... | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? Actually, I use both, depending on how loud I’m playing music. If playing low volume, I use low gain and get the volume control at eleven or twelve o’clock. If playing at higher volume, I go to high gain and turn volume control to appropriate le... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers From what I’ve read, and in an email from Mads, they require at least 300 hours breakin and need some power. | |
| Buchardt S400s Yes, I think you can find something better suited to the Buchardts. I’d be curious about the Nuforce STA200, but you would need a preamp, possibly tubed. The Nuforce and a Schiit Freya would come in under a thousand dollars. Just a thought. | |
| Buchardt S400s I’ve ordered a pair and will be interested in any comments on this, but my guess is they’re too new for people to have much experience. I’d imagine at least 150 watts per channel would suffice. | |
| Dennis Had Inspire amps and preamps. I’ve enjoyed using an older Inspire with 6550’s driving my Audio Note E/Spe HE speakers. Very impressed with dynamic range and decay at low volume. Gets a bit shouty if volume goes too high. I’d like to try it with some cheap horns, maybe the K... | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? I didn’t notice a significant difference without the pre (MZ2 from linear tube audio). It sounds very good without, maybe a little richer, wetter, with the DSJr. I’m looking forward to the new Snowmass update from PS Audio. | |
| Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators? I, also, have a pair os s400’s on order, and one of the main reasons is that ive enjoyed a pair of Vanatoo’s with passive radiators. Very excited about the Buchardts! | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? I’m currently using xlr from my PS Audio DSJr., but have also usrd LTA Microzotl into xa30.8 with single ended cables. Both work well, both sound great. | |
| Amp for LS50 Another vote for the Hegel 160 mentioned above. I’ve been very happy with this combo. Quality amp! | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? The xa30.8 has no trouble whatsoever driving my Treo CT’s. I’ve never even seen the meter move though I don’t play music too loud. It sounds pretty incredible. | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT My Treo CT’s are amp agnostic, playing well with many amps. I do believe they appreciate a lively amp and my Hegel 160 is a little too gentlemanly, whereas the Job Integrated makes them sparkle. The Pass 30.8 is somewhere between the two and so ... | |
| New owner of totem wind Might be interested in the Vandy subs. What part of the Country are you in? |
