We start this demo with the sound a little soft and make 2 changes to bring back the detail, presence and image.

Hi Micky, I aware that it an old video. Do you still own this pass Lab line stage, by any chance? It's absolutely a dream of mine to be invited to your place and listen to music. I feel I learned so much from you videos. Thanks Ran

Darn I have to join this, her recordings /masterings are horrible and I too thought it was me. Adelle has a beautiful voice but the recording is just an all together mess. I had the vinyl and thought there was a problem so I bought the CD and it was still bad.
@OCDHIFiGuy5 жыл бұрын
Yeah, its unfortunate. I use both bad and good pieces when I test. Because the crappy ones will sound better if the rig is improving.. The recording isnt getting any better, you can just feel the emotion of the performer better, and it does not bug you as much.. Thanks for commenting

I'm with you on thinking her recordings are "par for the course" (which translates to "Popular Artist Mediocre Recording Production"; "Want's to imitate an actual Jazz Recording, but doesn't have the necessary 'Chops' to be one")

I've had both and tested both the kinky studio and the pass labs. The Pass Labs sounded very anemic compared to the kinky Studio. The Kinki Studio was way more Dynamic and much more detailed. In comparison to pass Labs founded anemic and not involving as compared to The kinky. it's good but it's not great the kinky Studios worth three times the price.
@OCDHIFiGuy4 жыл бұрын
Yeah , I'm pretty sure we can hear the difference. The Pass absolutely adds nothing, so you're getting no help there though it is crystal clear and transparent as its strong suit. Kinky would be slightly darker by comparison and fortify bass a bit. All be told, I'm over the Chinese gear. Main thing besides the fact that I dont want to support a communist regime that steals the land of peaceful inhabitants and kills or enslaves innocent people, is that there is no innovation to speak of from them. Low prices to bring the greed out in all of us. Eastern Europe makes far better product at roughly the same price. My money is on Europe. But it is the best preamp for $2K that's for sure. I just hate to repeat that as rationale for buying.

@@ketchupsos5817 I just looked and even the look does not jog memory , so they must not have any strong presence at shows here in USA, because I would not forget that form. . Right off the cuff I like the form factor because its unique, and quite interesting. I pretty much like any HiFi gear that holds its own design by itself, meaning this is a super cool piece for interior design, or unique install. I hope it sounds great !

I dont know really. These amps are solid state. Theres a class D module in the tube. It's not a fair comparison. Pass Labs is top level across the globe for many yesrs.. like 40. Give the Kinki kid more time to catch up !
