| B&k 200.2 , audio research 100.2 . Parasound a21 . Which one to buy? Not that Monitor Audio's can't play loud enough for most but they can't blast your ears like a similar priced Paradigm Speaker. I just don't think you're going to be able to play your S8's any louder with a 250 watt Parasound over a 100 watt ARC 1... | |
| Elac Uni-Fi B5 + Rogue Audio Sphinx v2 = ?? My sister just ordered a pair as well. Can't wait to hear them and I'm hoping she'll let me burn them in for her since it was my idea. I bet the Rogue and Elac's will sound great together. Just listening to the YouTube videos sold me on the Elac's... | |
| B&k 200.2 , audio research 100.2 . Parasound a21 . Which one to buy? I've owned an ARC 100.2 so I can speak on that amp. Owned a B&K ST 140 and although a different amp than you mentioned it was a nice amp; great little amp for the money. Never owned the Parasound A21 but have listened to it at one of my favori... | |
| interconnect choice Meant a Kimber KCAG 15ft long would be around $5K. This homebrew cable will be around $300 plus your labor. I would recommend finishing it with techflex to pretect the insulation on the conductors. That might be another $20 and comes in many color... | |
| interconnect choice The Wonder wire is a solid conductor so it is a little stiff but not bad. It will not be as flexible as a Kimber KCAG or sound as good but it’s awfully close. I have compared the two against each other. The kimber KCAG is a great cable, but that c... | |
| interconnect choice Just realized I posted this on the wrong discussion yesterday...That's a long interconnect you need. Will be pricey. If you are a little handy I'd suggest contacting Michael Percy Audio and buy what you need of his insulated Wonder Wire $2.25 a fo... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Has everyone on here who is saying there is absolutely no sound difference between stock fuses and the boutiques ones actually tried them? Just because one has the means to afford the best equipment in the world doesn't mean they can hear well; kn... | |
| Server instead of new CDP? Look at the Cambridge 851c. Still can spin your disc and use it as the DAC to your computer if you go that direction. Can't say I'm familiar with the sound of your JoLida but wouldn't be surprised it the Cambridge comes out on top and it sounds gr... | |
| Looking for the good sounding Pre Amplifier Agree | |
| Looking for Speaker Recommendations - Halo P3/A21 Congrats on updating to the Parasounds over the Adcom's. No doubt a big improvement. I've heard your Parasounds on Maggie's... mostly 1.7s, Monitor Audio Golds and Silvers and various Paradigns. The 1.7 would be my top pick of those, but if you wa... | |
| Looking for the good sounding Pre Amplifier Many nice preamps mentioned above but not sure you're going really know how good they are. Sure they're going to make your NAD sound the best it probably can but those pre's aren't going to be their best on your current amp. No disrespect for NAD;... | |
| interconnect choice How long of a set of ICs do you need? Your LS100 does have XLR out but it's not a balanced signal, just a XLR jack passing a single output signal. It still might make sense for you to go balance to the input on your KWA100SE. I'd call Dan and ask ... | |
| Oh brother, am I in desperate need of help! 8) Another drummer here as well. I use and recommend Aerial Acoustics 7b's. Great speaker but you need a big amp to get them to come alive. On the used market they're very affordable compared to their original price, but can't stress enough they need... | |
| Oh brother, am I in desperate need of help! 8) ProAc Studio 200 or Response 2.5 are both worthy contenders. The Studio 200 is easy to drive, loves tubes and just darn musical; maybe not the most neutral but who cares. Plays all types of music nicely and poor recordings don't sound as bad on th... | |
| Shopping for a preamp @asp307 I have the LS36.5 and prior to that owned the SWL 9.0SE. I have listened to a ton of gear over the years and just find ModWright a great brand that competes with much higher priced manufactures. I mentioned the LS100 because it can be upgr... |
