| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane Unfortunately, I have not heard the Onyx but I have owned the Octave II, Hex, Pavane, Adagio, and finally settled in with the Pavane L3. After owning the Adagio as well as the original edition and (more recently) the highest level Pavane L3, it i... | |
| what replaced your Aerial 7B speakers? I have owned the BAT and the bass can be a bit soft sounding. I moved from Aerial 9s to LR5s (105 lb monitors) on 70 lb Sound Anchor stands and then added two, Aerial SW12 subs. The combination of acoustic suspension (i.e., sealed box) speakers ... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? Interesting comments in this thread. I own big Class A amps and really like much about the sound but there can also be advantages to how Class AB amps present certain types of music. Another thing I have found to matter is whether the output st... | |
| Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years Thanks for jumping in markum01, I was hoping somebody would mention the 260.8 monoblocks, which are sort of on my radar. I assume the 260.8 monos offer as much as the 250.8 stereo amp, plus some? Any comparisons between the 260.8 monoblocks and t... | |
| Unbalaned to Balanced My amps ONLY have balanced connections as they are fully balanced and do not provide for single-ended conversion. Prior to my current balanced preamp, I used several single-ended preamps. I also used Jensen input transformers to effect the conve... | |

| Pass Labs - 350.8 stereo vs. 260.8 monos Maybe this quote from the Dagogo review of the X260.5 amplifiers describes what @rsf507 was referring to in his description of the Pass sound...."Another thing I noticed about the Pass Labs X260.5 amplifiers was that, even though they were powerf... | |
| Pass Labs - 350.8 stereo vs. 260.8 monos @karmapolice "As for its musicality that is the most subjective aspect of the audition and am trying various preamplifiers to determine if it has that specialness for my room......so far looks like a keeper.."Have you yet resolved your question a... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hi Guido,I have been considering trying some different amplifiers and the Rowland 535 amplifiers could make my list, but only if I were to use them in the mono version. However, there is some pertinent information I could not find on the Rowland ... | |
| Whats your take on a NAD 3020, I truly believe it defined stereo and still does! Purchased the larger 3040 new and it still works to power my outdoor system. Phillips (later Thorens) turntable, 12-inch Jensen three-ways in large boxes and the tone was great so I never worried about anything but what music to buy.....those wer... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @elizabeth mitch2.. One part of you query is about what else can be in the powercord that is not being measured" (totally parphrasing, if in error, yell at me) No yelling necessary Elizabeth, but that was not actually the question. My questions... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Thank you @jea48 for your post with comments from Ralph, Nelson, and OLC.I had a couple of questions about Ralph’s post yesterday but did not see an answer and then the thread seemed to spiral down a rabbit hole. Ralph’s response from your post co... | |
| Preamp dillema for McCormack Ultra Platinum I owned the platinum RLD and while it had tons of drive it didn’t sonically touch my modded TLC-1 that you can see on my system page and on the SMc website. Steve can work wonders with the TLC-1, which can be set up for unity gain (like mine) or ... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @atmasphere I’ve seen a power cord make a difference of nearly 30% of output power out of a power amplifier. I could also see that that was caused by a voltage drop across the power cord.and You can measure differences in output power, output impe... | |
