What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8?
Thanks for the reply Doni...I started out on high gain, but it had a lot of "hiss" in the background. Coming from a Devialet which has absolutely NONE, I kinda freaked out a little. I put it on low gain, but had to turn it up to about 90 for regul... 
What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8?
Hey Doni...Just wondering if you are still following this thread...I got my Directstream DSD and the Pass XA30.8. Just put in the 30.8 in last night.Since you have almost the exact same setup, and are using XLR's between DAC and AMP, I was just wo... 
What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8?
Snopro...Thank you for the offer. I am wanting to buy the XA 30.8 new. I also have a PS Audio DSD sr. on the way.With the responses I am getting from you and Doni and others, it sounds like I will be able to get the Vandy TREO's and have no proble... 
What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8?
Doni...That is also great to hear. Both of the PS Audio DAC's were built to run without a preamp. In reading on the PS Audio forums, 98% of the people LOVE Snowmass. It has it's quirks, as everything does, but for the most part they love it. It wi... 
What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8?
doni...This is just too coincidental...I am waiting for my brand new PS Audio DSD sr. I will be going direct from it to the XA 30.8 via XLR. (HFC CT-2's)You are running almost the exact same setup that I will have! Very Cool!Did you see much of a ... 
What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8?
I am very happy to see you write that! As I said, the TREO's check all the boxes for my room. And to KNOW that they can "sing" with the XA 30.8 makes me very happy. I don't listen very loud either. My room is just to small for it. Thank you for le... 
What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8?
Thanks for the suggestions!!!The Tektons and Spatials have REALLY peaked my interest.The Tektons look VERY similar to speakers I am using now. They are custom built...By Me! I worked at a speaker shop for over a decade, so I know the ins and out o... 
Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8
Good to know ctsooner. The 30.8 is stereo, so I’m sure that is the one you were listening to. 2psyop, I agree wholeheartedly. A truly high quality American product. Can’t find a bad thing said about them as far as sound is concerned. Weight, heat,... 
Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8
ctsooner....When you say "that Pass", to which are you referring?The 30.8 or the 60.8? 
Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8
d2girls... "I dont think the XA30.8 leaves class A at 60w, rather at 30W."  That is exactly what I thought, but if you go to their website under the XA30.8 and check out the "spec sheet" under "documents for download", it has it right there. I was... 
Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8
That is kinda the route I thought I would take. Want to hear that Pass Labs “house” sound through the TREO’s, but just do not have the cash for a couple 60.8’s....right now. Great to know that the 30.8 can handle the Vandy’s though. TREO’s don’t h... 
Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8
Now that is something I REALLY wanted to hear. I seriously did not think that anyone would pair a XA 30.8 with the TREO's. Because that is really the route I would like to go. Curious Doni...What size room are you running this combo?Right now, to ... 
Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8
Yes, I am thinking that the Pass Labs XA60.8 should be a good match for these speakers. I am hoping that someone out there has or has heard them together. Would love to hear thier pros and cons. 
Best of these integrated amps...
Of the 3, the ML 585 is the one I have not heard yet. I have the Marantz PM 14S1 and love the sound, but it needs more refinement and XLR connections like the PM and SA 10 would deliver. Have also heard the Devialet and it is VERY good. But...ther... 
High Fidelity Cables MC 1-PRO
Good morning...New to this forum, but not to HFC. I have 2 Reveal PC's, an Enhanced PC, a Hemisphere, 7-0.5's, and Reveal speaker cables. Will be buying an MC-1 Pro later this month. I was wanting to know if anyone has plugged an MC-1 Pro into the...
