| Integrated amp for my Dynaudio Contour 30s! I used to have older Krell pre power with the previous generation Contour S3.4.A little to bright up top for my liking. The current Krell's are better in this regard but do not have the same bass slam.I would still recommend Pass or Gryphon over K... | |
| Integrated amp for my Dynaudio Contour 30s! Pass & Gryphon have great synergy with Dynaudio too.Try the INT 250 or Diablo 300 or 250 | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! It'll be interesting to hear your views on the 625 S2.I demoed the original 625 in my system and much preferred both the Ayre MX R's and the Pass X350.8 (which I ended up buying). | |
| Pass Labs 350.8 or 260.8 ? I think for jazz, the XA series is probably better. The X 0.8 series sounds faster and has more slam but I would think the XA 0.8’s excel in every other way so it would depend on what you prefer.The X 260.8 are mono’s right? They will take some he... | |
| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used @ddafoe which TWL did you use before the Shunyata?How did it compare? | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @arcamguy No, not that I noticed but I did not compare the Clear and Clear Reflection on an AB basis. I bought Clear Beyond first and then Clear Reflection because I didn't like Clear in my system. | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @arcamguy I prefer Clear Reflection to Clear. I am using a combination of Clear Beyond and Clear Reflection.Clear Reflection is a warmer and more forgiving cable than Clear. I tried Clear in my system and somehow did not like it. It was too "clear... | |
| Krell KSA200s Help I used to have one.All the lights except for the blue pilot light in the centre fade out when you power it off and go into standby.When you power it on from standby, the 3 levels of red "christmas tree" led lights come on in succession. the relays... | |
| Cardas Clear Digital SPDIF No answers so I'll answer my own question after trying one out on loan from a friend. It’s a nice cable. A self effacing type of sound with no real emphasis in any frequency. Overall natural and smooth sounding with midrange sweetness but not as... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! OK yes, makes sense.So it depends on taste and speaker matching.I guess for speakers like your Revel or Dynaudio's , the XA 160.8 may be better and with more reticent speakers like the older Sonus Faber designs, the X350.8 may be better. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @whitecamaross when you say the X350.8 has better bass, can you elaborate with greater detail on what you mean? Is it better bass slam that you are referring to? | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Power cords @garebear Are you saying the XL is more neutral than the regular Clear Beyond?I already find the regular Clear Beyond on everything too neutral in my system. Putting the Golden Reference on my DAC made it more musical for me. | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Power cords @biggy79 I swapped the cords around. I put the Golden Reference on the DAC and the Clear Beyond on the CD transport.It sounds warmer now. Not as resolving, with less space in between the notes but less of an edge too. | |
| Curious How These Nordost Speaker Cables Do What They Do @david_ten Are you still on your cable search?Did you end up comparing the Audience SX with the Cardas Clear Beyond interconnects?If so, what did you find? | |
| Cardas: Clear vs. Golden Reference Clear Reflection is a better cable.I never cottoned on to Golden Reference. I always preferred Golden Cross to it. |
