| Which would you choose; Pass 250.8, arc 75SE or luxman m900u? @pistha It's hard to describe but along with less heat (Pass amps are power hungry and I had to turn the thermostat down when the 250.5 was in system. no kidding ;-) ) the biggest change I heard is a fuller type of sound. Pass's midrange was sweet... | |
| Which would you choose; Pass 250.8, arc 75SE or luxman m900u? @celander You are right. Impedance matching is particularly important and I've learned the hard way that mixing components that are great on paper but do not mix well does not provide the optimal setup. Of course, great combinations can be found e... | |
| Which would you choose; Pass 250.8, arc 75SE or luxman m900u? I had the Pass 250.5 (not .8) with an ARC REF5 SE and sold it for a REF 75 which I still own. The ARC combo is the best I've heard in my room and I had a few high-end units over the years to compare (Bryston, Classe, Simaudio, Luxman, Pass Labs, e... | |
| Upgrade? Luxman M-900u and C-900u from Pass X250.8 - Simaudio Evolution P-8 I had a C900f and now have an ARC Ref 6. I would never go back to Luxman. It is refined but way too soft and dull IMHO. I know it's all system dependent and YMMV but I find Pass (had 250.5 amp) and ARC much more transparent and 'accurate'. In term... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... @hifiman5 Don't worry I do not want to fight that battle. However, even though we do not need explanations on how these fuses do their magic to appreciate the effect they have on sound, I do believe it would be interesting to know more about how t... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Hi guys,After reading the SR Black fuse thread and based on your recommendations, I had decided to jump into the SR fuse pool too and try the blacks. I bought them a couple of months ago without any expectations other than pure curiosity. My syste... | |
| Solid state amp to replace my Audio Research Ref 150 amp I have a Ref 75 SE and it's the best amp I've never had in my system. It has beaten a Pass X250.5 and Classe stereo amp in direct shootout. It shoots way above its 75W. Initially I was not sure that would be enough but in my room (14X18X7) it can ... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... My dealer had suggested I tried a Siltech power cable for my amp while the rest of the system is fed with Shunyata cables. He said that the Siltech provides speed and coherence and that it was a very good match with the other Shunyatra cables. I r... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... Hello Vhiner,that's very interesting. Did you have the chance to evaluate a Python against the Anaconda before making your choice? I have one remaining power cable to buy (I have some Cobra and Python but no Anaconda) and I'm wondering whether the... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... Although many seem to report the new Ztron are much better than the previous version (including Shunyata themselves which is no surprise) there's at least one guy I know who owned the new Cobra power cables and said he did not like them because co... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... Hi guys,I had the chance to purchase an already broken in Hydra Talos conditioner last week. This last w-e, I spent some time testing various setup combinations of my 2 conditioners in my system (I already had a Torus Power conditioner). The first... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... Thank you Oddeophile for your detailed description and welcome to the discussion. Your experience is aligned with what Vhiner has been sharing with us. It's good to know the cables will improve over time. I'm in a phase where they are not sounding... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... hahaha you're right! Those are not cables easy to compare. I must say that I don't have any zitron IC cables in my system... yet. I'm currently using a mix of Audience AU24e and Acoustic Zen Absolute interconnects. They are great but I'm wondering... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... Hello,Wig: please let us know your impressions when you get them.Vhiner: you seem to have a very good and transparent system. I have ribbon tweeters (Monitor Audio Platinum) running on Classe gear so I know what you mean by easily catching changes... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... Hi guys!Wig:my initial impressions of the cable? Expensive! LOL Seriously, I had tried a Cirrus cable before and was very impressed by the way it was controlling my woofers. Bass was deep and punchy much more than with my previous cables (Cardas).... |
