| Aleph 5 passive vertical bi-amping? Speakers are Sonus Faber Grand Piano floorstanders. They are rated up to 200 watts, so I don't think there would be a problem there. Was hoping to get some extra benefits of using the 2 amps, ratehr than having to worry about tuning crossovers to ... | |
| XLR-RCA adapters - which to choose? Got an interesting email from an Audiogon member. He says:Using a transformer or an active circuit adds "processing" in the audio path - don't do it!My friend had Cardas and switched to Tara Labs adapters, which he thought are better. With either ... | |
| XLR-RCA adapters - which to choose? Wow - that is a serious looking piece of kit that Mitch4t suggested! For $200 I could reterminate my balanced S-X Ltd to RCA and then back again later if I change my source! I take it there is a real advantage to getting the Jensen transformer? | |

| Aleph 5 - buzzing sound when hot? Thanks for your responses. Its definitely a mechanical noise and not from the speakers. Someone told me that all US amps with serious power supplies buzz because of the 50Hz mains electricity, as they don't use toroidal transformers or other power... | |
| Translation Help You could try http://www.tritrans.net/Don't know how good it is though and how many times you can use it for free. | |
| Personal amp evolution Very simple really:Musical Fidelity FX followed by Pass Aleph 5. Played with a Musical Fidelity F19 alot, but never owned it. All of them are great in their way, but am currently still in love with the Aleph! |
