| New Adcom power amps? Well I guess the sale price was too good, I just ordered a GFA 555SE. Reg price was 1299 for 200wpc and it looks like 70 amps per channel max, yikes! The sale price on the Adcom.com site is almost 300 off. Hey Wolf, I think I saw one with your ... | |
| Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to? James, I simply said that I didn't like the looks of the Tektons. I also noticed that the company wouldn't reveal the frequency responses of their models but I found one reviewed model that had been reviewed and measured. It's frequency response... | |
| New Adcom power amps? I'm watching the Adcom site, hoping for some kind of price break after Christmas. If I can snag one of their amps on discount, I will. I'm intrigued at the favorable comparison with the Parasound A21.I've currently got a GFA 5400 that I recently... | |
| Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to? Kosst, get a load of Jame’s arrogance, I guess there’s no point talking to a self important know-it-all. And James apparently was some kind of dealer! I’m sure the Rainmakers didn’t suck when he was selling them but that’s beside the point. James ... | |
| Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to? James above said that people shouldn't have to defend disliking a product, but I think he has a short memory. He attacked me for repeating my dislike for Tekton speakers and went so far as to mock my system, and now I see he sold his Tektons.I've... | |
| Differences in sound in Parasound P3 and P5 The P3 was retired some time ago, so I'm not sure why the OP is asking about it unless he already owns it or can buy it used. It was retired about 5 years ago. Some of the specs are not very good, crosstalk of 55 db at 20 kHz, S/N ratio of 92 db... | |
| Differences in sound in Parasound P3 and P5 All you have to do is search online for Parasound P5 opinions, most are quite impressed. But like everything else, it depends on the rest of the system, the cables, the room and the listener's preferences. No single component is loved by 100% of... | |
| Need HELP-Troubleshooting weird balance and hiss issue on Parasound 2100 preamplifier Wow that's a strange one. If the tech guys at Parasound couldn't find out why the balance was off, then you really are out of luck. I would have thought they'd suggest replacing the balance pot in that case. | |
| Need HELP-Troubleshooting weird balance and hiss issue on Parasound 2100 preamplifier Too bad about the accident, recently I removed speaker jacks after turning off the amp but still got a pop in the speaker, no damage though.With the hiss issue it's apparent something is damaged, and the balance knob makes me think that pushing th... | |
| My rant; we don't know what we don't know Late to the party as always, but I feel compelled to post!Sonicsmith, I hope you felt better after the rant, but your reference of 25 years ago and your experience then(which you so easily cast aside now) may have been quite relevant.The audio wor... | |
| Adcom? About 98 was when Adcom started having Chinese production, and back then there were issues with Chinese manufacturing.To the OP, you mention your experience, but not the time frame. The 5300 was built from about 97 to 2006 or so. I had one from ... | |
| Schiit Reference Sytem review: Freya into Yggdrasil, into Vidar Okay, I'm going to buy one of those Lokis for Christmas, got to try it out. I"m also eyeing the Vidar amp. Funny that this thread is about a Schiit system review, and gets hi-jacked over some DAC bickering. What is it with audiophiles and havin... | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? Sunny, good to hear you are moving forward in your speaker goals, from all accounts the Revels are an outstanding option. Pardon me if I came off as being brusk in my previous post, and best of luck in your search. | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? What you need to do at this point, sunny, is make a short list. 7 or 8 pairs of speakers that you would consider buying. They would need to be suitable for the type of music you prefer. They would need to work well with your present amplifier. ... | |

For starters, here is the thread on the Sherbourn PT7030.http://emotivalounge.proboards.com/thread/30712/sherbourn-7030-preamp-official-threadYou could read through the thread or jus... |
