Hi Romy,I have no experience with Pass labs, but have been looking at his old Aleph 3 for some time with interest. Do you know this amp? I believe it is 50W class A and around 800$ typically on audiogon? If you want to spend a lot more my Tom E...

In my idea pass labs high power amplifiers are in under average even in comparison by market average standard.it's sound xa1000 was not good and i think when a company accessed a good market for his products then start to making crap products.in my i...

Surprise, surprise it is from Pass Labs and the model name RS1. I have no other comments besides the visual appearance of the RS1 loudspeaker and I find the RS1 being remarkably elegant, functional and beautiful. I was thinking something simila...

Antonio,
I have no business (or frankly speaking interest) in production Sound of new Pass Labs loudspeaker. Not to mention that any more or less credible prediction I am able to make only with horn-loaded setups, otherwise my knowledge of the condi...

Mainly because of my young daughter I have been listening to mostly solid state amps, I have enjoyed 'Digital DoMain's' B1-a VFET, and am now listening to a German 'Audioprojeckte' CA10, 10 watt class A design, ( I will post a link later as their sit...

"ASR do not use the regular ICs but the ICs that they removed form the demilitarized Russian nuclear missiles console and fallen Chinese satellites" :) ...which means that they use cheap, used ICs. So, the dealer has a better margin & can di...

"self-matching input impedance "Aren't they trying to say the input is grounded? It sounds like they're using the current signal from cart, not voltage. Like the 47 Labs stuff. This concept has merit, but I never tried it. To ...

Hi,I've just taken receipt of a Model 2 to use as a DAC in my study (using the ADC occasionally for recording live from a mic). I would like to feed the balanced XLR outputs of the Model 2 into the single-ended RCA inputs of my Berning Siegfried amp,...

I think low power ss design is the only way we can make ss to sound good. in my idea all high power ss design i heard had no emotion in their sound in comparison by good SET designs like AN UK Ankoru.the first SS design that make me happy in comparis...

The Sussurro has an unusually wide loading range listed by Soundsmith, ranging from 470 ohms to 5k ohms. It is possible that more recent models have a somewhat tighter range between 470 and 2k ohms but I am not positive. The capacitance of Soundsmith...

All-I'm optimizing new speakers, but the deep subject matter is a little new to me. Will this work?Using a pair of Welborne Labs DRD300B SET amps (tapped 8ohms) with a 3-way passive crossover to integrate these drivers. Here is ...

Hey Cat,Well..my first question would be regarding the application. The big Melq tube is already doing the bass towers...is it not enough current? And wouldn't a proper class A 100w amp with its low low efficiency require something like 1...

Yep, you re right, the Yamamoto A-06S is SET, I did not read it carefully and I was under presumption that A-06S is PP monoblock. Good for Yamamoto! The only amps I heard with AD1 were PP. Somewhere in the very end 90s I shortly was exposed to i...

It is a good question that I also asked when I saw this speaker. Afterall, everything being equal using the same materials for the drivers is more optimal from a coloration standpoint. My guess is cost. They already had splurged for...

Paul,My current active crossover is a DSP unit which likely has low enough input impedance and single ended inputs. I added BAL inputs by using input transformers. By no means do I want to use this combination as a representation of my crossover! I i...

Hi Cat,
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I used my typical “flash” techniques and discovered some leeks in that 50 years old enclosure. Sure it the leaks were there then it would be no “acoustic suspensions” and the driver would run further. So, fixed the...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I might be not “getting” what you are doing but it looks to
me that it is not near close to “CEC TL0X vs Berkeley Alpha”. The Berkeley
Alpha is just an interface to get stream of DAW but CEC TL0X is digital transport. We...

Greetings,
I may be able to answer some questions regarding crossovers, multi-amping, etc. - without getting bogged down, hopefully, in metaphysical issues.
First off, I live in San Francisco, if he's inclined 'drdna' and other locals are wel...

Recently, I would say the last 2-3 years, I detected a very foolish tendency that audio people are brewing within themselves. A typical today’s audiofool holds within itself a hope about existing of a “secret”, no discovered yet, SS high power amplif...

Jeremy, another few lead that I think might conceder.
Manly Labs has their 20-bit digital to analogue converter that uses the Pacific Microsonics processor inside. I was told that is available as the “street price” for ~$6K-$7K and it might be a “f...

[quote user="nl"] Gordon Rankin of Wavelength Audio did a series of one-stage DHTs with a step-up transformer input about ten years ago. I think they were called the Mercury series. By all accounts, they sounded good, but of course had limited gain, ...
