Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.
Yeah, their loss, but not really our gain. 
What power cord do you like most on your amp ?
Problem solved. No, I didn't get another Purist Dominus, I almost accidentally got Purist Aquila Praesto Revision, not current Luminist Revision, power cord that was specifically designed for digital with superior shielding. No fluid or ferox or c... 
Want to get into Analog
I do see Nottingham Interspace used from time to time for about $1500, rarely though. Not sure of the price for a new one, probably around $2.5k for table/arm. Usually, people keep their tables for a long time if they like them and only upgrade wh... 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
Denon1, I remember that you got Gryphon Diablo. Yes, I would not expect Pass to match Gryphon in dynamics, resolution and instrument separation. And of course at this level cables and power cords are even more important that at lower levels.Big 3D... 
Want to get into Analog
To the OP. Don't listen to them or yourself regarding cheap DD tables. They are junk and will give you stupid even if at times sort of exciting sound. If you want real thing extend your budget and get Nottingham Analogue Interspace table/arm. Add ... 
Want to get into Analog
Larry, you are being totally inappropriate and I will explain. Most of these guys won't be able to tell whether it is record or cd playing, given similar level of equipment, unfamiliar music and analog mastering for cd. Even less probable with som... 
Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300?
I know virtually nothing about digital, I did hear something about Aurender and PS Audio streamers, something good, I just don't remember what exactly I heard. I mean heard from serious audiophiles.As far as turntables go, $12k for table/arm plus ... 
Cd's to make a come back in the future?
I explore new music on youtube, old unreleased music too. 
Which courier do you prefer?
And only USPS delivers to PO BOX, I guess.Pack especially well for UPS and FedEx and then double it. They can be very rough with packages. 
Cd's to make a come back in the future?
2. Sometimes records are just as inexpensive and sometimes they are very expensive3. Not everything can be found on cds but a lot.5. No way, totally wrong. Besides, transport is at least as important as dac, some people don't know it. 
Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300?
Bass resonance must be present if recorded, just as body and resonance of other instruments in other frequencies. It should not be bloated unless, again, that's how it was recorded.Yeah, as I like to think, the biggest audiophile mistake is not to... 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
So, so far no real weak points, just a few minor weaker points.But no-one described Pass Class A and Class AB differences in details yet. Anyway, one can get Pass pre/power amps used for $5k-$6k for both. Pretty good.

audiotroy, please, enough of your participation, we get all your points even before you posted. If you want to advertise yourself in this thread - pay us, cost - $1 per letter. If you disagree - get the f. out. 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
I would not run them 24/7 and where I live it is often chilly except in summer so I would just turn the oil heater off and have the amps do the heating. In summer, yeah, but the equipment is in a living room with windows, some extra heat would not... 
Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300?
By all accounts, not from my personal experience, current Gryphon's phono stage module is absolutely best compared to any other solid state integrated. At the very least, it is a very very good phono stage.Sure, great separate tube or transistor p...
