| Speakers: $3,000-$4,000 on Audiogon Well i'm biased of course. But a good friend, before he moved, had your amp (MC402) and the S3.4s. The preamp was Cary SLP05 and the source was a Marantz SA8001. I've heard the system many times and it had everything you are looking for. I also lu... | |
| Audio Research VT100 MKII retubing blew resistors see responses below1. I was replacing input and driver tubes – your originally Sovteks ended their life. I have used Sylvania JAN 7308 tubes.->ok choice2. I replaced small tubes and after few swapping I calibrated it closely step by step with A... | |

| Pass Labs amps. Help me choose. Tvad: I see. In that case a really competent tube amp like VTL or some ARCs and BATs might be a good fit too. This is one of those thorny issues that, sadly is marginalized by marketing to a single value (8 ohms/4 ohm). There is a member (I think ... | |
| Pass Labs amps. Help me choose. Tvadanything above 2 to 3 ohms with moderate phase angle IS benign to most modern ss high end amps, especially Pass. 19, 30, 150, 500 ohms matters even less. What we are discussing is current delivery. The Pass, as you mentioned is very capable. T... | |
| Pass Labs amps. Help me choose. Jylee,The impedance is frequency dependent. Which of course is music dependent. Given your favor of classical (and not pop or rap with high rms (average) energies of 30-40 hz) and the fact that we are talking about Pass amps (very stout) the recom... | |
| Pass Labs amps. Help me choose. Completely agree with Bill (Audiofeil). For your stated application the XA60.5 will offer the most refined sound for the dollar. The key is the tame impedance curve at 8 ohms coupled to the high sensitivity... You get 60 wpc rms clean class A powe... | |
| How long does Plinius SA 102 take to warm-up... Tabl10s,I recently bought this amp a coupla weeks back. Since then it has been on 24/7. As John points out, leaving it on and in AB (draws < 40 watts) is the default way to go...but when you really want to listen into the recording, I find that... | |
| Has anyone had success converting friends? nope but two ladies came to my door trying to convert me to mormon. I just stared blanky and stated "no hablo mormado i'm an audiophile" and they said "May Jesus heal you", and left without even handing me a leaflet. It was that bad. | |
| How do I turn off my Pass Labs X1? send it to me; in return i'll send you a power button you can play with all day. did that help? | |
| McIntosh amps with Dynaudio I borrowed a friends Mc402 (for a week) to drive my contours s3.4's; It was a very nice result. Very transparent, natural sound. Dynamics were not quite as far reaching as my (then) pass x250.5, but the Mc402 had a tad more warmth. I say, with the... | |
| Simaudio or Plinius just picked up a plinius sa102 for my system which includes dynaudio S3.4s. Any concerns about drive, bass control, slam, whatever, have been put to rest. This amp is no slouch! You might also want to contact Pdreher who is running the same amp on... | |
| Tubes to solid state for amplifier path... AbucktwoeightyYour Pass will not run any cooler when it "switches", er I mean, leaves class A and transitions into B. What an interesting thread as I'm taking the digital plunge and trying a bel canto S300. My ARC VT100MKII is currently out of ser... |
