| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Good post acoustic, I would only add that the rest of one's system needs to be capable of resolution and detail, which no doubt someone said already in this very long thread( no way I"m going to read all 4000 posts!)With my current system I can't ... | |
| Parasound halo JC2 what a joke This is the second time it's happened in 4 years so I'm not sure it's bad PR. They handled it better the second time instead of charging $175, but I'm having trouble picturing "everything I touch just falls off!". The JC2 has a total of 2 button... | |
| Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible? xero, the problems you are describing may have to do with your speakers, are they 4 ohms and with 94 db sensitivity? That's a bad combo for many monoblocks if they aren't true monoblock amplifiers. Or do you have some other Legacy model that isn... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? It's impossible to answer the question because there's no way to quantify this mysterious 5%I would submit that changing out the amp power cord while leaving in the stock power cables of all other components, will probably have little benefit. | |
| Schiit not that Good? Wolf, Partly because of your experience with the Freya, and partly because of research I’ve done online I have ordered the Freya but won’t have it for probably three weeks.The damn things are so popular that they can’t keep them in stock, apparent... | |
| Schiit not that Good? Yeah, I just noticed he started a thread at computer audiophile using the same first post. I wonder how many forums he's done this to, and why does he feel the need to wage some kind of campaign? Get a life, GUTB!https://www.computeraudiophile.c... | |
| Morrow IC's So the MA5 came in, and I used the break in service for 240 hours. They’re only 18” long as it’s connecting components in close proximity( Nad C565BEE and Parasound P5). Sound is quite good, with more detail and separation over the MA3 it replac... | |
| Adcom GFA 555 amp upgrades No sir, there is no impedance switch. That's for weaker amps or girlie receivers that have no jam. It'll be fine with your 4 ohm speakers.On the other hand, you might want to consider the age of the 555. Shine a light inside the amp to see if t... | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? I saw this thread and recalled a review of the Schiit Vidar amp when it first came out. I think it was the computer audiophile site, and when the reviewer tried his 9 gauge cables, the amp started having issues. The reviewer sent the amp back to... | |
| Gotta love Nelson Pass Nice to see all of the thoughts on Nelson Pass. Howzabout we keep the thread crapping to a minimum with all of the comments on cables and fuses. There are plenty of threads on cables in the cables section of the forum. | |
| Preamp: Parasound P5 vs Rotel RC1590 Glad to help, Denizpiri. I'm puzzled at the background hiss you are hearing from either unit. There is no way you should be experiencing this, but it has me wondering what the power grid is like in Poland where you are. I also have not experien... | |
| Gotta love Nelson Pass I've got a current model Adcom 555Se that is based on his design for Adcom in the 80's, which made the Adcom name legendary. Audiophile sound for the masses, he later said he didn't charge Adcom enough for what he gave them. It may be true, but ... | |
| Emotiva T1 Towers - Audiophile Quality or Just Home Theatre Towers? For under 5000, so would about 15 pairs of speakers made by loudspeaker only-manufacturers. Buy whatever floats the boat, but to support the idea that Emotiva has something unique seems like a stretch. | |
| Emotiva T1 Towers - Audiophile Quality or Just Home Theatre Towers? The T1's are unmatched? Please name the 14 or 15 competitors you've compared them with double blind tests. Lets try to keep the comments accurate.Saying that this 700 dollar speaker is so good that you "doubt that most people could tell the diff... | |
| Morrow IC's Mine are probably 3 weeks or more off since I opted for the 10 day break in. I'm going to have MA5 from cd player source to amp. I've swapped in Ascend Sierra 2 speakers with the ribbon tweeters for more detail over the Totem Rainmakers. We'll ... |
