| Pass Labs Point 8 Series info I'm with Unsound that it's hard to call $85k a bargain. That said, Nelson Pass is also perfectly happy to help you own his amplifiers at the cost of parts. You just have to make them yourself... and he'll literally help give you advice while you d... | |
| Best universal remote control? A second vote for the Universal remotes. I got an MX-450 and absolutely love it. Setup can be a pain, but it's worth it. They perform exactly like they should. In my current setup anyone can grab the remote and learn to control everything within 1... | |
| What to do with old Thiel CS-2s Given that I was forced to ship a 2.4 mid/tweeter driver back to Thiel for a full rebuild (rather than being able to purchase a new one), I highly doubt that they have any have anything for the 2s still sitting around. | |
| How To Get The Best Sound From Pandora & Rhapsody? So, from the responses so far, it appears that the summary answer is quite simple... buy as good of a DAC as possible. The only other issue is that you might also reclock your digital signal pre-DAC with one of Steve's devices (or alternatives). A... | |
| Thiel 2.7 VS 3.7??? I've only heard those speakers on different systems in different rooms at RMAF, but I own the 2.4s and will upgrade to the 3.7s in the next year or two. Perhaps it was the room, but the 2.7s just didn't seem like a substantial upgrade. I actually ... | |
| New Thiel Speakers - Post Jim Thiel Era And I was just wondering why someone called Tim answered the support e-mail when I asked for a new tweeter/midrange assembly for my one of current 2.4s. Glad I didn't open with the usual, "Hey Gary," | |
| Magico Q5 and Pass Labs XA200.5 Synergy I agree with this... "If 400 watts of Class A power is not enough, there is something seriously wrong with the speakers." | |
| New Thiel Speakers - Post Jim Thiel Era All of this is very sad (this just taught me that Gary is gone now too)... I'll buy a pair of 3.7s in a year or two and that'll be the end of the company for me. Hopefully they don't disappear completely so that I can still get the speakers servic... | |
| Best Class A amp with SLAM I also own the Pass XA.5 series, and although I love mine, it seems that these amps are a bit reticent in the bass/slam department. I've read that enough times from enough different people that I'm pretty comfortable attributing the issue to the a... | |
| Advice for new Integrated amp please. I really enjoyed my Classe CAP 151 (before upgrading to Pass Labs), and you can get them with a phono card. | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Hchilcoat, I have an (unmodified) MacMini 2010 and compared it with an Oppo 93 as a transport. I wouldn't recommend either as a CD spinning transport. But ripped music through the mini absolutely kills the Oppo. Not the same model you're using, bu... | |
| Ayre mx-r vs. Pass xa 60.5 I don't know if it's truly related to "bass control and speed," but I've seen a number of people (myself included) comment that the XA amps can be a little soft on bass. Like Peterayer, that can lead some people to prefer the X series over the XAs... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house 08-18-13: Glory3713,It was a joke about being lost without the Sistrum. You can set it on anything you want. Do you have a Lamp?~~No I don't, although I do find the product interesting and this thread cued me to do a little extra research on it. I... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house "If you don't set the the Lamp on Sistrum stands then all is lost."Wow, hyperbole much? | |
| What speakers should I consider around $5000? Since you are also considering SS integrated amps, I would suggest the Pass INT-30A and the Hegel H300. I own the Pass and truly love it. Beautiful midrange that makes vocals incredibly realistic and just awesome soundstaging & imaging. I hear... |
