| ARC Ref 75 SE issues? Manleys amps were made the same way. When I had a pair of Neoclassic 250s, a tube took out a resistor. Manley would send you out the resistors with pre-soldered clips on them so you didn’t have to send it in. You took out the old resistor leaving ... | |
| Pass Labs HPA-1 Not quite the same comparison, but there was a period of 12 months about two years ago where I was strictly using headphones. I used the HPA-1 as my headphone amplifier. When I transitioned back to a proper 2 channel rig, I kept the HPA-1 for a wh... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? I think a lot of what makes a good “Metal’ speaker is what sound characteristics you enjoy in your presentation.i love metal of all variety, but when listening to metal at home, I tend to prefer fast transients, detail, and refinement.Listening to... | |
| PASS LABS XP-22 vs. XP-12 I purchased an XP-12 in December 17, and was very happy overall with the sound. Incidentally, the Pass XP-22 dropped right after I purchased the XP-12, and was tempted. When I inserted the 22, I found it to just be a better version of the 12. Last... | |

| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings The DMB catalogue. I can't believe between "Big Whiskey..." releasing last year, and copies of "Between These Crowded Streets" on vinyl selling for upwards of 500+ dollars that no company has capitalized on releasing these. A whole box set with ev... | |
| Tube Amp for GR Research LS-6 My speakers are GR Research LS-6s. They are a 14 driver per side, two way, line source. Each speaker houses 6 BG Neo 8 planars, and 8 peerless india 6.5 inch woofers. My current preamp is a custom Response Audio BellaMax "Ultramax." Right now I am... | |
| Tube Amp for GR Research LS-6 Maybe glare is the wrong word for it, but in the end, I crave a little bit more liquidity from my setup that I don't think I can obtain with a SS amplifier. That calculator for how loud will it get is only flawed because a Line Source speaker drop... | |
| Mother of All Ground Loops I do think its a coupling problem between the amplifiers and the preamp; but I am not going to be sending the preamp as well. There WAS a hum. I am sending them to Klaus to make sure they are okay to sell. | |
| Mother of All Ground Loops I sent the preamp back to Response Audio, and Bill there said that everything was perfectly fine. I bought this unit used, so someone else was using it before me for a year with absolutely no problem. Both amplifiers cause the same problem with th... |
