| Who's using the Jolida JD100? Hi Mdomnic, see if you can hear the Jolida with some great tubes, like Telefunken, Seimens, NOS RCA, or the like. Fine tubes raise the bar quite a bit.I would like to hear your review of the SF cdp. I passed one by and got the Jolida. I didn't wan... | |
| Krell Amps vs others Good one Rosstaman, and I've heard the same story all turned around. The fellow I bought my X-600 to power the Apogee Scintilla from also was selling his Rowlands 9tc. He preferred the Pass amps over the Rowlands. I'm using the 600 to power the on... | |
| Who's using the Jolida JD100? Thanks for the response, Sc53. I know little about the Jolida other than, unlike nearly all cdps, it employs no op-amps. Phillip's chips and it's five pin tube drive stage do the amplification. It has a simple circuit design, and I prefer simple c... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! This is the best system I know how to build.First I'd like to say all the silliness that came in the first part of this thread sure was funny.Like Zane, I've found starting with the Apogee speaker makes the rest easy. I'm now settled in with the o... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Apogee Scintilla. The 1 0hm one. If you haven't heard one properly powered, and the bet's on you haven't, you will never know perfection. | |
| Help me tame the brightness of my Triangles A friend of mine has the same Triangles. They are in a smaller room than yours, but still of good size. Cables are APO. His CDP is an ?Electrocompanient?. His amp is an old model Levinson, as is the pre. Like you, Paul, I am sensitive to glare and... | |
| Retiring my ML 333 for a Krell 300c or Pass x350? According to the Levinson owner that has my Pass X, the Pass opens up new inner detail. | |
| Retiring my ML 333 for a Krell 300c or Pass x350? I have never heard a sober review of the Krell family where it does not say you can't beat it's grip on the bass drivers, AND say it has a bit of the strained treble that can result in listener fatigue. The Pass lacks the Krell's bass death grip, ... | |
| Anybody using Wilsons or Soundlabs with Pass Labs? Ferrari, Did you see Roma's post (Should I sell my Diva?) Could it be there is a dichotomy in perception when it comes to bass response? Shall we say, hi-fi bass, found only in audio, epitomized by truck bed mounted mega woofers, versus natural ba... | |
| McCormack vs. Pass Labs Yeah but... After you spend the extra dough for the revisions you've surpassed the cost of a used X-150. What's the sense in that? The beauty of the Pass is that it is the best it can be right out of the box. There is no such thing as Pass amp upg... | |
| Anybody using Wilsons or Soundlabs with Pass Labs? Wow! what a lot of interesting responses. I would have never guessed the Aleph models could give satisfactory service on the big speakers. | |
| Good Match for B&W 802's and Pass Labs X650 I hear you Gracebarker, sorry about the hoof in mouth. I don't know how I stay married. Like you, I bought an X 600 partly because it was a deal I couldn't refuse. It was a practical buy to, as I need the monsters to drive the infamous 1 ohm Apoge... | |
| Good Match for B&W 802's and Pass Labs X650 Krell + Pass? kripes!!! How can you stand it??? If you feel a need to improve a wounded playback with cables, that is a clear sign your principle electronic units are not in order. Granted, the B&W 802 is not the last word in transparency, but... | |
| Box speakers that sound like Electrostats? Dennis - listen to Tubegroover.I have a superb room that allows the magic of great electrostats to fully manifest. I'm presently setting up the infamous Apogee Scintilla as my final music statement. No box speaker, Merlin or otherwise, can match t... | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Apogee Scintilla. The first time I heard one I was convinced I was hearing the real thing hidden away. I have never heard a more convincing speaker. I was awe struck. |
