| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps Generally, I agree. However, due to the 11 x 13 room, it may still work depending on the OP's preferred listening volume.As long as he doesn't exceed 100dB (16wpc), he should be OK, don't you think? | |

| Best John Mayer Album I received "Continuum" today. It has a nice groove, and I particularly enjoy the warm tone of the recording. Rare these days.Do any of Mayer's other releases have more edge to the songwriting and playing? | |
| to mod or not to mod my new tube amp????? I don't believe you're going to realize the benefits you desire for the $200 mod (or perhaps any mod).A modification generally increases resolution and lowers noise floor, which can increase the size of your image, however I'm dubious of a $200 mo... | |

| I ask again, has anyone heard the Tempo El.Preamp? Tbg, what is intended purpose of this thread?It appears no one has hear the Tempo preamp, otherwise they'd have posted a comment.Thus far, all we have learned is that you are now a reviewer, and that apparently you have the Tempo coming in for a r... | |
