Very sad news. I know Dan only through his posts, which were always insightful. Dan, may you rest in peace.

I think M was meant.

RIP Dave ! I enjoyed the W/P’s greatly. Thanks

Me too. As a previous owner, I found the RI-100 wanting. The SIA 025 was substantially superior.

I read 350.5 first 30W is class A (see https://www.passlabs.com/press/leaving-class), and the 350.8 is biased heavier than the 350.5. I also read in one of the reviews that the 250.8 peak class A is...

+1. Did the same thing for my S5.

High damping factor can be achieved by using heavy does of negative feedback. I think Pass Lab amp would not adopt this approach. I am using Pass X250.8 driving may Magico S5. The bass is powerful...

Hi Peter, Any preference for "analogue output level" normal or low, when using digital volume control?

RIP. I acquired a pre-owned RS1b many years ago and still have fond memories of its sound.

I read the review in Positive-Feedback and had the RI-100 in my system for a few months last year (driving a pair of Magico S5). Over that period, I also tried the ASR Emitter II and the Devialet...

"....Does that mean Wilsons can take more punishment than Magicos?"

Not necessarily. In Bud's case, I guess the signal passed though a preamp, which might put on further gain.

+1. I had the RI-100 but sold it after a few months. Apart from sonics, I was also uncomfortable with the graduation of its volume control. At some level, it was 1.5 db per step.

David, my condolences. May your Mum rest in peace. Hope everything is OK after the grief. I lost mine years ago and still think of her everyday.

Hi Dirk, Welcome to the forum. I enjoyed all 3 amps driving my Magico S5: ASR E2, Devialet 400, Vitus RI-100, and my preference is in that order.

I sold my RI-100 already. I think one has to go...

+1, especially in articulation and coherence with the upper ranges. :audiophile:

I experimented with Ultra SS's under pre-amp and streamer. There were noticeable effects on the sound, but not all to my liking. I removed them a month later. I guessed it also depends on the...

+1 on the Devialet. I have driven my S5 with ASR Emitter II, Devialet 400, and RI-100, and my preference is in that order.

I have also heard the Vitus SIA-025 driving S5. I thought it was...

Alon seems to like 2-ways. I think I read somewhere that he had the Mini II at home.

Congrats Ken! The sound will get even better as the speakers break in. Enjoy them in good health! :audiophile: I suppose you are still driving them with the Soulution 500's ?

Recommended max power is 500W, which is half that of S5MkII. However it is 3 db more sensitive (91 vs 88).
