| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? Reno HiFi has used X150.5 amps available, according to the website. It might be worth a call to check pricing and audition policies. Mark, the owner, is pretty accommodating. | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? 06-16-10: GmuffleyThe better the resolution of your system, the quieter you can listen without losing presence or detail.True.I wonder what Metallica or Miles Davis would sound like at 70dB? I'll have to try that for yucks. | |
| BAT or Pass With My Sophia 2s? From a thread discussing Pass Labs XA-30.5.06-13-10: MadfloydI haven't had good experience driving the Pass with tube preamps. I've tried the Cary SLP-05 and the Audio Valve Eclipse and the low bass is rolled off. It's one of the reasons I got the... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? 85dB - 90dB. Sometimes louder. Rarely quieter. This is measured from the listening seat with a Radio Shack decibel meter. | |
| BAT or Pass With My Sophia 2s? Consider Madfloyd has not yet paired his Pass Labs XA-100.5 with a preamp that matches optimally (the preamps he used both have high output impedances that are too high for the Pass Labs amp). This is based on his comments in another thread.So, ta... | |

| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? 06-16-10: MissioncooneryFredoramaFor heaven sakes!..Why don't you audition a Pass labs X150.5 and be done with it.It's not so easy to "audition" a used amp unless one buys it outright, but in general I agree with the sentiment. | |
| Moscode 401HR vs Pass Labs X150.5 Before you invest more dollars into components other than an amp, why not measure your voltage at the outlets with an inexpensive multimeter to learn if in fact you are experiencing voltage swings. Do you have all your components plugged into the ... | |

| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Boy, Tbg that's a lot of questions. Sheesh.06-14-10: TbgTvad, how is it that I bring it on myself? You own half the catalog of SR products, and you talk them up as if you're a paid SR spokesperson. Maybe it's just me, but I get private messages fr... | |
| speaker ground hum No apology necessary, Jea48. I'm just not equipped to defend the checklist's validity without further study of your criticism, which I admit I am too lazy to do.I will say the source of the buzz was finally traced once the tech instructed me to sy... | |
