Amp for LS50
I tested Ragnorak on my LS50. Very disappointed with the sound. I was comparing it to my Pass Labs but it was no contest what was the better amp. And going by my audio memory which is quite good, my anthem 225 was a lot better than the Rag. I thin... 
Could I be a Retail Wretch?
Personally I don’t think so. Unless you are systematically wasting their time, they should be glad they have you coming into their store. If they won’t negotiate, and cannot convince you to buy something from them, they are bad salespersons and sh... 
What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8?
I’m wondering if a 30.8 would be a good match with my JBL 4367: 
Amp for LS50
The Peach tree is okay but I was not satisfied with the model I heard... I don’t think $1k is enough of a budget for an amp to pair with the kefs unless you search hard for a decent ab unit in the used market. Unlike a lot of $1k speakers the kefs... 
JBL 4367: What an AMAZING sounding speaker!
The stands looked fine, but they broke after I tried to slide them around on my floor. I got a 50% refund and decided to just strengthen them by adding some wood screws into the joints. The maker decided to use one joint which was the wrong kind t... 
JBL 4367: What an AMAZING sounding speaker!
Since putting them on stands, not only do they look more 'proper hifi' the sound has vastly improved. Imaging is even more pinpoint, bass is tighter and more detailed, and most importantly, I've found the midrange to become more detailed! By compa... 
McIntosh MC611and MC1.25KW-how do they sound compared to 601's and 1.2KW
15% price increase on the mc462in Ontario it’s now $15200 to buy one ..... 
Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?
Pass labs would mate best with 93+dB sensitive speakers, imo. Unless you get one of the 100w class a ones but I think those are well above $15k mark! 
This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio!
They could really shake up the market later next year with their propriety USB implementation. I think they were purposely trying to be lowkey about it but if it's as as good as they let on in the video it could potentially blow in up in a big and... 
Warmer sounding Solid State
pass labsnothing is rolled off, tube like sounding midrange and very rich, textured, detailed bass. tube sound with transistor based reliability. very good control on pretty much any type of woofer and frequency response. 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Is it harder to design a amp or preamp? 
Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off?
With the 30.2 there is boosted bass if you remove the grille. Though I highly reccomend removing the grilles on the 30.2, if only to remove the magnet behind the logo that rattles against the cabinet enclosure very loudly during strong bass. 
Is it time to just quit?
If this hobby starts to become unfun I’d day it’s time to quit. Think about your stress level! You don’t want to have a heart attack... 
Kinki Studio EX-M1
I posted this in my own thread but thought maybe you guys who haven’t seen might appreciate it. Apparently the recording I did using my phone mic is of good quality?https://youtu.be/1dEsSmn0hhgIts my JBL 4367 paired with the Kinki. 
What amps should I audition?
I’m leaning towards a mcintosh 462
