Pass Labs amplification with Totem Mani-2.

by tbone1 on Ever Evolving

Description

My Musical Fidelity A5.5 integrated amp served me well for several years but I got the itch. Early in 2020, a Pass Labs XP10 and X250.8 took its place.   I upgraded my phono preamp to a Herron VTPH-2a recently and am loving it!

    • Thorens TD-147
    Pretty much a stock TD147 with TP16mkIII tonearm.  Currently fitted with a Grace F-8c cartridge
    • Herron Audio VTPH-2a Phono Preamp
    This took the place of a PS Audio GCPH that I had been using for several years.  I love this upgrade!
    • Nakamichi BX-300
    Willie Hermann fixed this one up for me. Highly recommended.
    • Arcam Arcam FMJ 23t
    just replaced the laser...a much easier DIY job than I anticipated.
    Update:
    Replaced the entire transport with a NOS Sony that I found on ebay.  Much better result.
    • Pioneer BD 35 Blue Ray BD-35
    Seldom used
    • Pass Labs XP-10
    • Pass Labs x250.8
    • Analysis Plus Oval 9
    Heavy cables that you could jump start a car with.  Lots of copper!
    • Totem Acoustics Mani 2 Signature
    Still love these speakers

I just received my A+ speaker cable...Clear Oval. You should like it very much. They do need break in time. A+ is a warm cable with very good detail. You should like it.
