Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
Thanks for your thoughts on the MA5, in_shore.  The full potential, that's a good description of what the Morrow's provide.  I'm quite impressed with them, the superior detail makes me realize I could use better speakers. 
Silly prices for Nordost cables
Jay Leno has made some pretty good observations about life.   
Subwoofer failings and their use-related reasons
I must be doing something wrong, I’ve never had a sub fail on me. Home audio, car audio, in almost 20 years of owning different models. I can see if subs are continually pushed close to their limits, or abused, then I’m sure the failure rate would... 
What exactly is colored sound?
Tzh21y, whatever is done in that case, to process the music would be done to achieve a sound that the producer intends.  So the finished product is a sound that is intended, whether one agrees with this processing or not.This is why I usually pref... 
Pangea AC14XL removeable ground plug
Oddly enough, Parasound puts a ground lift switch on their Halo amps.  When I had the A21, I never had to use it.  I used to get a very slight hum coming from the amp occasionally, and I chalked it up to flourescent light fixtures that were on the... 
Pangea AC14XL removeable ground plug
I'd forgotten about this feature in a PS Audio AC5 power cable I have.  I haven't had to remove the ground prong so I'm afraid I can be of no help. 
Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ?
Sunny, in your smaller listening room, some speakers would not be suitable.  I had a pair of towers from the Paradigm Signature line, in a room that was about 11' x 17.  I had to move the system to a larger room altogether, it would quickly get co... 
Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
Okay, the Morrow MA5 came in yesterday and I've got them going from cd player to integrated amp.  Everything has improved.  Bass, vocals, highs, imaging.  I think it's really just more detail getting through, which improves everything, but it's re... 
Parasound A-23 or Parasound HCA 2200
Parasound will service their amps.   It might be worth finding an email address on their website and emailing them to ask about costs of replacing caps on your 2200, maybe include pics.  If caps show signs of leaking, they will eventually become a... 
Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
Wolf, thanks for your impressions, I've got a pair of their MA1 too.  When I use it on the preamp to amp jumpers (Nad C375BEE) the bass gets really tight.  Some might say less, but I prefer to say, "tight".  Also, highs seem cleaner or more focuse... 
Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ?
Sunny, yep, I’ll agree that with the excellent electronics that you have, you really are missing out with your present speakers. There are many good speakers to choose from with a $4000 budget that will put a pair of $1400 speakers to shame.Kosst ... 
Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
I just got an email from Morrow yesterday informing me that the cables are in the mail.  Right now I'm assuming that they are shipping both together, they should be here by October 2, so under a month with the MA5 and a ten day break in service. 
Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ?
The number one reason why speakers can start to sound edgy, barring system incompatibility, is over driving the receiver or amp.  The receiver or amp being used is CRUCIAL to the conversation, and could well be why rackon preferred the GET speaker... 
Best Budget RCA cables
You don't have to be in the room as the system is playing.  Since you mentioned a harsh sound, I'd stay out too.  Run one of your systems about 4-5 hours a day with the cables breaking in, and keep track so you know when you've reached 50 hours.  ... 
My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA
Here’s the thing about Emotiva. Just look at the situation with the XPR line. Any basic market research would raise red flags for a company trying to decide if they should manufacture an amp line weighing so much. Research would tell them that the...
