Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers?
In the end the amp went back. Just not enough horsepower to drive the speakers on larger Symphonic works. Great Amp Though and it played beyond what it's 30wpc would indicate.Chuck

Review: Herron VTSP-3A R02 Linestage
That is good to hear about the MI-A's. This Pass INT-30A sounds great as well. I can't believe the quality of sound coming from a SS amplifier; much better than the Cary. And no Power Tube issues to deal with. 
Review: Herron VTSP-3A R02 Linestage
I have his VTPH-2 Phono Stage and like it very much; great piece. I would have liked to try Keith's amp / pre-amp but because of cost and space constraints I went with a Pass INT-30A which replaced a Cary SLI-80F1. Good review by the way.

Have you heard his M-1A mono-blocs ? 
Last Preamp? Could The Search Finally Be Over?
Thanks for the review. I too have the VTPH-2 and like it very much. I am running it into a Pass INT-30A through Focal Be 1007 monitors. Have you considered or tried his mono-bloc's? I wanted to try his amp / pre-amp combo but because of sapce and ...

You can run any shielded cable but you may need to run a separate ground wire from the TT to the phono stage or you may produce a hum/buzz. 
I feel like an idiot; lessons learned

Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers?
Mark at Reno offers a 10 day in home trial all he asks is that you pay the shipping if you decide to return it. I am really surprised at how good this amp is. I was so biased against it when I bought it figuring I would send it right back. I have ... 
Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers?
I listen mostly to vinyl and I would say in general it is a more refined amplifier than the Cary was. I listen to the sonic performance, do the instruments sound natural do hand claps sound real. I really don't want to let the design architecture ... 
Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers?
It is a fantastic Amp and much better than the Cary especially in the bass department. It has much better control over the speakers and gives better transparency and clarity to voices. The timbre or air around the instruments is better along with ... 
phono cable for VPI SSm
No I haven't. I bought my Table from Elusive Disc and it is what Bob Bantz recommended. He said I could sell you a more expensive cable but there is really no reason to spend more money as the VPI does a great job.
