| Pass Labs:What to expect fm XA60.5 to XA100.5 The comment from Pass regarding the characteristic of the XA-60.5 to be warmer than the XA-30.5 at low to moderate listening levels was not true in my system: Silverline Sonata III/Lamm L2 Reference. In fact, the XA-30.5 was warmer than the XA-60.5. | |
| Pass Labs:What to expect fm XA60.5 to XA100.5 Elmerpoh, disregard the suggestion to measure your listening volume with a decibel meter. It will be an exercise for no reason. It's fairly easy to discern that you intend to purchase XA-100.5 amplifiers whether or not you really need them to driv... | |
| Pass Labs:What to expect fm XA60.5 to XA100.5 I am only taking the listening volume from the volume level shown on my Bel Canto DAC acting as pre amp.Elmerpoh (Threads | Answers | This Thread)I don't believe that's measuring decibels.Take some measurements with a decibel meter and report back... | |
| Tweaks to Add A Little Treble Emphasis... With the Cubs, the performers were right in front of me; the Stradas are a little more recessed. The soundstage is ENORMOUS, but doesn't come forward like the Wilsons did.Srosenberg (Threads | Answers | This Thread)I would consider that what you'... | |

| Pass Labs:What to expect fm XA60.5 to XA100.5 Elmerpoh, how far from the speakers do you sit? Is this the distance from which you measure your listening volume?If so, measure again from your listening position, and then move to 1 meter from one of the speakers, measure this volume and report ... | |
| Pass Labs:What to expect fm XA60.5 to XA100.5 Are you running balanced or single ended from the Bel Canto DAC to the XA-60.5?The Bel Canto DAC outputs 2.5Vrms single ended and 5.5Vrms balanced. If you're running single ended it's *possible* dynamics are being affected, and you might try runni... | |
| Tweaks to Add A Little Treble Emphasis... Onhwy61 has an excellent suggestion. | |
| Tweaks to Add A Little Treble Emphasis... Siemens tubes will add top end extension and incisiveness over your Sylvania and Amperex tubes.However, I tend to think speaker selection will have a more profound impact than will tweaks on treble response. | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? This post is subject to moderator approval.Regardless, I will persist in setting the record straight. I have never stated, claimed or suggested that SR products are worthless. | |
| Amps in the same class as Pass XA.5 series Mitch2, thanks for the offer. I've changed systems from ss to tube since the Clayton quest, but I never say never. | |
| Amps in the same class as Pass XA.5 series Good luck comparing the Clayton amps to Pass Labs amps. Unlike Pass Labs amps, which can be auditioned at home fairly easily, Clayton amps in my experience are virtually impossible to audition let alone actually compare in the same system.The Clay... | |
| BAT VK-600 vs Pass XA100.5 I have now found a combo that works for my taste and my room.Madfloyd (Threads | Answers | This Thread)Which is? | |
| PREAMP suggestions For a BAT amp, stick with a BAT preamp. | |
| BAT VK-600 vs Pass XA100.5 You're selling not only the Pass XA-100.5 amps, but the Fire preamp, the JC-2 preamp, the ARC Ref 5 preamp and the Audio Valve Eclipse preamp...all of which you tried with the Pass Labs amp, and presumably the BAT VK-600?Are you sure your speakers... |
