| Parasound JC-1s Not Working I visually check all the glass fuses (three on the rail and two on the motherboard right behind the back panel). They seem okay. I removed the two glass fuses behind the back panel and also two ceramic ones right behind the transformer. I took the... | |
| Parasound JC-1s Not Working Thank you all for your quick responses. I am going to open the amp and check out the internal fuses. External fuse is okay as I swapped them already. Will let everyone knows. | |
| Comparison of Thiel CS2.4 vs. Vandersteen 3A Sig. No matter how much opinions we give you, you are highly recommended to audition both speakers yourself. It is a matter of personal taste. Some like it open and detailed, but some like it laid back and relaxed. Both are very decent and capable spea... | |
| Conrad Johnson Act 2 series 2 First Impressions I have a side question to you all. Is the ACT 2 series one upgradeable to the series 2? I have an ACT 2 which is excellent sounding. Based upon the detail review above, it seems the MK II is worth getting. | |
| New Acoustic Zen Absolute cables The Absolute IC is way better than the Silver Reference II. It's image is more focused and solid. Sound is pure and liquid. | |
| Graham Phantom on 2.2 armboard Yes, I bought the longer ones and it worked. It would be nice if Graham makes the Phantom armboard for the Clearaudio Maximum Solution in the future. | |
| Dynavector XV-1s set up Using Manley Steelhead, I am loading the XV-1s at 50 ohm and setting VTF at 2.2 ohm. HP from TAS did say that it sounded better between 2.5 and 2.7. I tried at 2.7 and did not find any significant improvements. However, the cartridge body almost b... | |
| Manly Steelhead - any downside?? I am also using XV-1s to pair with the Steelhead and loading at 50 ohms. However, I am running it direct to the amplifiers. I find the sound very pure and transparent. I do also find that loading at 47k slightly reduces the bass. It is hard to go ... | |
| Manly Steelhead - any downside?? Downside is the cost obviously. But upside is abundant.Now I am using the Steelhead as a full function preamp bypassing the line stage. To me the sound is pure and extremely open. No more line stage and one less interconnect. I didn't experience t... | |
| Thiel 7.2 vs Wilson Sophia The mighty 7.2 needs a lot of power and very picky about upstream equipment. But once it is well set up and fed by well chosen equipment, they disappear and bring the musicians to your room. I prefer the Thiel as it is more full range although Sop... | |
| Anyone compared Whest Audio with Manley Steelhead? I recently heard a Steelhead that was not fully broken in and compared to my Whest. The Whest equaled the Steelhead when the Steelhead was operated via either its MM or MC inputs to a line stage. However, when running the Steelhead directly to my ... | |
| Power for Thiel 7.2 I am currently using a solid state pair of Brown Electronic Lab (BEL) 200-watt Class A each channel with the 7.2. Sound is great. Excellent control in the bass.Generally I would say solid state works well with Thiel speakers. I used to own CS2 and... | |
| Benz LP vs. Dynavector XV-1s I agree that people in the business should disclose their interest before giving their opinions. I am glad that Jtinn did. | |
| Benz LP vs. Dynavector XV-1s I really appreciate every opinion you all provide in this thread. I want to get a general consensus about what people feel about the Benz LP and the Dyna XV-1s. Please be nice to each other. Audiophile community is such a small social circle. At t... | |
| Benz LP vs. Dynavector XV-1s Sirspeedy,You meant there is a newer Titan out there. How do we tell the old one from the new? Do they say MK II or something? Thanks for sharing your opinion. |
