I had a Pass X150 and X1 preamp for quite sometime when I was running Magnepan panels. Nice amplifier!

In some ways a shame the Pass didn't have a go with Jerry's Maggies.
Sell the Pass to Firebottle when it's time and we can put that one right;):D
Nah, the Maggies and the Pass would never have met anyway!
Did you get any other 6n6 to try Jerry?
Yes, I have a 'gold grid' version - and it has little gold connections inside. :)Quote:

I also have 2 types of "military" OTK valve to try.
Unfortunately, I have been temporarily distracted :doh: ....
New toy. :D
My goodness, this is a bit good.
Awesome clarity.
I've a suspicion that with its pre-amp mode turned off, it will be a great match for the Pure Sound L10 valve pre.
I'll try that in a week or so - I'll enjoy the 851D's standalone performance for a while.

Predictably enough, I couldn't wait a week or so to see what the L10 pre brought to the party. More like an hour or so. :D
Yup, superb. You can't beat a system with a great active pre, imo.

So is the Cambridge (as a power amp) better than the Pass?
The Cambridge doesn't even try - which is very sensible of it! :)Quote:

8 digital inputs, volume control (switchable), 3 digital filter options.
So the signal goes laptop streaming > 851D digital preamp > L10 > Pass X150.
Apologies, I thought it was some kind of integrated. :)
no , not really a tube roller ...i get a bit nervous about mucking about with things like thatQuote:
