| Is the move up to Parasound Halo A21 worth it? Thanks, 213runnin .... can you provide some suggestions for speaker cables that go well with the A21? At least it'll give me an idea about what to expect. | |
| Is the move up to Parasound Halo A21 worth it? dbphd, thanks for your response. I was searching for the right words when trying to describe what I thought was missing. 'Lacking the sense of presence' is a very apt description. The A23 is a pretty amazing product, and I think it punches above i... | |
| Is the move up to Parasound Halo A21 worth it? georgelofi: Actually, before I bought the P5, I did think long and hard about buying the HINT. No doubt, it has a superior DAC compared to the P5, but for whatever reason the flexibility of separates appealed more to me. I've always had integrated... | |
| Is the move up to Parasound Halo A21 worth it? 213running, you raise an interesting point. Yes, cabling is definitely part of my plan but probably not in the short term. I was told that I should spend the money on upgrades in the following order: speakers, preamp, amp, speaker cables, power co... | |
| Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences? I've not heard it personally, but remember reading a review at what hifi. They thought it didn't justify the price tag, and didn't consider it an all rounder, considering the competition at that price point. | |
| Need help with Integrated vs preamp/amp stalbrecht, I had owned a Nova 125 - not the 'se' version though, for over two years. It's a fantastic integrated amp and I did enjoy it quite a bit when I had it. It has a great DAC, which I think is its main strength.A few months ago, I purchase... | |
| Parasound Halo A23 paired with Peachtree Nova 125 This all due to the wonderful advice I got here. You guys are awesome!I'm still waiting for the P5 to arrive. Will post my impressions once I get it and hook it up.As for the urge for an A21, I'm trying to keep it at bay ... at least for now. I di... | |
| Parasound Halo A23 paired with Peachtree Nova 125 I hooked up the A23 to the Peachtree a few days ago. I was a little disappointed that the A23 seemed lifeless and not much power. I had to crank up the volume quite a bit to make it sound even halfway decent. I just couldn't believe that it could ... | |
| Parasound Halo A23 paired with Peachtree Nova 125 Hi Paraneer, yes I did pickup the A23 from a local buyer. It turned out to be a pretty good deal. The amp is a little over two years old and in pristine condition. Besides, he knocked down the price even lower. I just couldn't refuse.Unfortunately... | |
| Parasound Halo A23 paired with Peachtree Nova 125 Dhl93449 - I totally agree with you. After I paired the CM10s with the Rotel separates, the brightness went away. Unfortunately, I just didn't agree with Rotel's so-called 'house sound'. This is not to say there's anything wrong with Rotel gear, a... | |
| Parasound Halo A23 paired with Peachtree Nova 125 Zd542, I'm not sure what to make of your response. I am not selling my speakers, nor do I intend to in the near future. Maybe in a few years. Regardless, that was not my question. Thanks. | |
| Suggestions for integrated amps for B&W CM10 Thanks for the suggestions. So I had quite an adventure this weekend. The salesman at the Magnolia Design Center insisted that I take the Rotel separates (amp: RB-1582; preamp: RC-1570) home and at least give them a listen, so I took them home and... | |
| Suggestions for integrated amps for B&W CM10 BTW, I also saw the HCA 1500A on sale on eBayhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Parasound-HCA-1500A-High-Current-Amplifier/131647945256?_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D34225%26meid%3D42fe23b170174b6... | |
| Suggestions for integrated amps for B&W CM10 Paraneer, I really appreciate your advice. I think I'm going to pick up the A23 tomorrow. Next I'm thinking about selling the Peachtree Nova 125 to buy the P5. Come to think of it, I should probably also unload the LSA-1 Signature speakers that ha... | |
| Suggestions for integrated amps for B&W CM10 Paraneer, agreed. I would prefer a pre-amp with a built-in DAC, so actually the P5 looks like a better deal.Now, my main concern is if the A23 would provide the kind of extended bass that's currently missing from the Peachtree. I don't know if the... |
