    Existential Crises!

    Ummmm, tasty Pass syrup. Give me some more, please. Until I upgraded to Pass XA30.8, I found some of my music collection bright with low texture and body. The Pass has made the music enjoyable without sounding dull. Papa Pass and his team know what they are doing.:cool:

    Downsizing (sigh). What to do, what to do?

    Hi Ken, I am sorry that your wife had to go and live in an assisted-living facility. I wish you both many years of healthy living and happiness. I admire your passion for A/V. At age 72, you are exception to the rule. Congrats on your new set of toys. They should sound terrific...

    Tears in Heaven by Roberto and friends...song written by Eric Clapton.

    Hola Roberto....I listened to both tracks and I am at loss of words. You guys are the real deal. I really enjoyed it. Do you have any plans to release a compilation on a CD to capture all these tracks? I would buy one! Keep on playing soul-stirring music. Viva Roberto y su banda!

    Tears in Heaven by Roberto and friends...song written by Eric Clapton.

    Roberto, I am going to listen to it later as I cannot do it now. I love Bossa Nova. Martin Logan has been created to listen to the emotion of the music. Tears in Heaven always stirs my spirit. Thanks for sharing.:cool:

    Hello from the Centre of Canada

    Welcome from a fellow Canuck to another. I also used to have Paradigm speakers and upgraded to ML. Hands down, there is no comparison between the two. As Dave has mentioned, I hope you can get a fair deal and start re-discovering your music. Do tell us about your upstream gear as they...

    Stay with my Theo's or upgrade to ESL 9's

    Hi Steve, In my journey to upgrade the amp, I listened to a few amps including the PrimaLuna Prologue. It is indeed a great amp given the price point. However, I found that the highs were a bit rolled off. Moreover, the attack and the decay of the musical notes were not palpable. I know...

    Stay with my Theo's or upgrade to ESL 9's

    I have a lot of respect for Roberto. But I have to disagree here. As a fellow Theos owner, I have managed to squeeze out an amazing performance by upgrading my amp. I went from an Adcom to a Pass Labs XA30.8. The difference is night and day. I also have a Balanced Force 210 sub which...

    To tube, or not to tube?

    I heard a Primaluna Dialogue (not the HP version) in a store driving a pair of $10K British cone speakers whose brand name has escaped me. I found the sound too syrupy and lacked drive and punch. Now it could be the politeness of the speakers but I was not too impressed.

    BOTW P&P ECO 15-16V MKII - After Market Adaptor

    Thanks Peter for chiming in. I am really trying to squeeze out every bit of performance out of my Theos. The last upgrades have been the addition of a Pass Labs XA 30.8 amp with a Kimber cord and the Theos are really punching above their weights. But according to the distributor, more air...

    BOTW P&P ECO 15-16V MKII - After Market Adaptor

    I need a pair of these for my front Theos. Yeah, we in Canada pay an average of 30% premium over U.S. pricing!!!

    Pass Labs XA60.5 60 watt mono power amplifier with MLs

    I am running a pair of Theos with XA30.8. The sound is silky smooth (not syrupy), detailed and non-fatiguing. You just want to listen to music more and more.

    BOTW P&P ECO 15-16V MKII - After Market Adaptor

    Thanks GW1800 for your detailed rehash of your post and to JonFo who found it. Yeah, it is really a shame that our beloved ML speakers are shipped with crappy $1.99 power adaptors. it is disappointing that ML did not get back to you to comment on your findings using the upgrade. I am...

    BOTW P&P ECO 15-16V MKII - After Market Adaptor

    Well, it does not have to be this particular brand. Has anyone benefited from any other brand of after-market adaptors?

    BOTW P&P ECO 15-16V MKII - After Market Adaptor

    Hi, I have posted this in another thread and did not get any response. I hope this will trigger a few feedbacks. I have been told that upgrading the adaptor that keeps the stats charged will have a noticeable improvement in sound. I am skeptical. There is not even one professional review...

    Pass Is in the House

    Indeed, it is an amazing combo and getting better by day as the amp is still burning in.

    To tube, or not to tube?

    You want to add Pass Labs to your list to audition before you trigger a purchase. Many owners here have this brand and can swear by it. I got my XA30.8 class A amp a couple of months ago and am truly in awe as how great it sounds. It matches ML very nicely. The amps are rated very...

    Pass Is in the House

    So bought a Kimber Kable Ascent PK10 with the rhodium upgrade at a really good price and swapped for the stock power cord. I am hearing subtle differences which make me happy that I have not totally wasted the money. Now I am looking for another tweak which is using an aftermarket power...

    Next Upgrade: CD Player or Preamplifier

    The beauty of the Estoric is that it has an amazing DAC on board with all the choice digital inputs. All I have to do is buy a streamer. I think I am going to have the best of two worlds - a smashing CD/SACD player with a highly-regarded DAC.

    Hello from the Swiss Alps

    I have to admit the wood panels really match the chairs and table. Welcome to the ML universe.
