Hello whitecamaross,I own a Pass Labs X250.8 amp and Simaudio Moon Evolution P-8 preamp and was considering trading these and cash for Pass X350.8 and ARC REF 6 preamp and my dealer strongly recommended for same money to get the Luxman M-900u and ... | |
| Upgrade? Luxman M-900u and C-900u from Pass X250.8 - Simaudio Evolution P-8 4425Those are some serious other pre's you tried. That buttresses what other have told me. They have said it is a legit reference level product that competes with the real big money crowd? Your feedback is appreciated. How is the resolution and ... | |
| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts Misguided?? I mean you could say wrong or erroneous but misguided? How does that make sense? I got good advice and followed directions? Sure, I am sure if it was more broken in it would have been much better but how much better? 10 times better, 1... | |
| Upgrade? Luxman M-900u and C-900u from Pass X250.8 - Simaudio Evolution P-8 I’ve had multiple people tell me how great the Lux 900 gear is which is great and makes me want to buy it. Thank you and please any and all feedback is really appreciated | |
| Upgrade? Luxman M-900u and C-900u from Pass X250.8 - Simaudio Evolution P-8 Hey Guys - so I like my gear but always like to play around and try new stuff. I do like my Pass Labs X250.8 and thought the X350.8 would have more power? Not sure it is needed but got a strong trade offer on it so was thinking about getting more ... | |

| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts Guys - this is awesome info and I really appreciate it. I am going to give another analogue rig a shot for sure. I got all my money back and actually made a couple bucks. Not much but the keys is no money lost and so I am going to take another cra... | |
| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts Honestly I don't think its as much about the Rega as to do with my Digital. I wish I could have you hear my digital so I could get an honest, objective 3rd party opinion. My digital just vaporized the Rega. There was nothing even remotely close bu... | |
| Hegel H590 List $13,500. Reasonable? Hegel makes great sounding gear that is very well built regardless of where they put it together. Their digital has gotten much better as well. Their products are not cheap but not over the top either. They do a REALLY good job at combining excell... | |
| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts Yes I agree - I think a tube preamp - specifically a Herron phono I think would have helped a lot. Also, I think I probably had crappy records also. My needle drop DSD Rips are to die for. Def not fair there either. Sure they are new and no disre... | |
| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts I wanted to thank everyone for all of their help and advice with my vinyl journey. I really appreciate it and you guys helped me clear up a lot! My Digital set up that I am currently using is just too good. It's not just the DAC either. With digit... | |
| Some components too old now? vinyloid OPOh great, that makes sense now. I thought all was of that not changed or updated vintage. So you have a turntable, amp and speakers you are happy with. Nice, that makes it much easier for you to really get a nice bump in sound quality... | |
| Innous Zenith MKII and Roon DSP I will gladly pay you cash for it if you at some point want to move it. I have been thinking of trying one. Thanks | |
| Some components too old now? I think where audio has improved the most since your last major gear purchases in two area's. In both digital but really the most amazing growth is the outstanding sound you can get on a real budget and not an audiophile budget so to speak. Great ... |
