I just spend an 3/4 of an hour on the phone on a 3 way call with my Soulution / Stage III dealer and Brian Ackerman the proprietor of aaudio imports. What an awesome and knowledgeable guy. His brands are below.http://www.aaudioimports.com/ShowBran...

Hey Inna,Those Gryphon 300's are really - really nice amps. Powerful, dynamic, a little dark but in a good way because Gryphon nails voicing their gear. They do have a voice which some say is a bad thing but not me because regardless of what those...

George, Great advice and I agree with you for sure. There is no doubt that with stock power cords or rather (Kubala-Sosna Emotion PC’s) I much prefer the Pass Labs XA-160.8 monoblocks over the Soulution 530 Integrated. I actually found that the Pa...

I do definitely need to take a few weeks to decide. Actually, one of the factors that is effecting me is the fact that the Pass needs two power cables and probably would be better with a preamp than just using my Bricasti direct. Retail on the Kra...

Inna, Yes I tried it and these was some more drop off more showing that the Stage III power cables are monsters. I also have a couple power cables let’s over analog experiment when I owned a Surherland Duo phono Stage that are mono-blocks that req...

Jafant Thank you, when I spoke of the really good and helpful Audiophile’s on Audiogon you are one of the people I am speaking about. You always have a knowledgeable take and a kind word of encouragement for your fellow members and it doesn’t go u...

dave_b Thanks - I would like to try MIT at 50% - 60% off but would have no idea where to start? So many different cables it’s so confusing?  Thanks

dabe_b thanks but upper level MIT are insane prices. The Stage 3 are mostly demo and former gen so getting like 50% off type of thing so I don't I can get anywhere near MIT for that kind of money but I agree that upper level MIT are awesome but ma...

celander Thanks for the feedback. I don't know about focus on aesthetics? Have you ever seen the Soulution 530 Integrated? It is one but ugly amp. My wife told me it looks like a college dorm fridge. Definitely not a good looking amp. The Pass ...

folkfreaki am with you and good advice...In fairness to me I thought I had the cables covered as I have a full loom of Kubala-Sosna Emotion / Elation cables and close to $30k MSRP invested in cables so I definitely took the cables seriously. I t... 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
Mitch2,I recently owned the GamuT 250i mono’s. Got them from Kyomi Audio. Awesome guy. I ended up trading them to Scott Walker for my Speakers. Really nice amps. I owned the Clayton 30 and 100 before. I really liked the Clayton’s a lot at the time...
