| Audiopoints vs Mapleshade brass cones Parts express http://www.partsexpress.com has some cheap cones that worked OK in my system made by Dayton that you can use points or take the points off for around $20 for 4 just for a holdover until you get some more funds.Happy Listening. | |
| Pass X150 vs. X250 The X-250 will give you a more refined sound, better details, dynamics, slam and has extra juice whenever you need it. Once you hear them side by side then you will understand. I am not familiar with your speakers so I do not know the synergy with... | |
| von Schweikert VR-4 vs Vandersteen 5A Sdcampbell is correct in every way. I just heard the 5As versus Virgo IIIs, JM Labs 936s, 3As, small Quads and Revel F-30s (hey I went thru every speaker the dealer had in the room). I also hear the treble not hitting you at first but I also heard... | |
| Pass X150 vs. X250 Do a search on Agon and you will find info on this question. The X-250 is slightly more refined, better bass weight/slam and to me sounded a little more extened in the top end. Maybe having more details too but it was a while back.Happy Listening. | |
| Camelot Uther MK4 or Audio Aero Prima DAC Find the new model of Tube Technology if you can.Happy Listening. | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? I hear the differences in PCs but nothing huge, just slight changes. I hae a friend who hears more than me with his system. I also have dedicated lines. I will eventually get around to trying one the conditioners to see if I can hear more of a dif... | |
| Smooth jazz recommendations Easy, Ronnie Earl and the Braodcasters buy the Colour of Love CD mostly guitar instrumental, if you like it email me and I will give you more suggestions or email me and I will make a copy and send it to you, my Xmas present to you.Happy Listening. | |
| what pre amp for my setup, In my experience like all components, each changes the sound either better (to your liking) or worse (not to your liking). So premaps will add more dynamics and more fullness to the mids so don't. There are plenty of dealers who will send you a pr... | |
| Should I upgrade my Levinson 38S preamp to 380S? Yes do the upgrade before the Levinson brand is history!Happy Listening. | |
| Wadia 860SE or Wadia 27ix/270 Combo? Call Steve he is an honest guy and will tell you what the differences will be, as I remember the SE includes the new platter which makes a big improvement.Happy Listening. | |
| Pre-Amp for Parasound JC-1 As a follow up to Bobs post, I owned a BAT VK-30SE and it shut down a few SS amps that I had audtioned. I never could find the DC leakage but it did happen on those amps that had the DC sensor. Try before buying.Happy Listening. | |
| Should I?? Dahlquist DQ-20I for $200??? Buy them or send me the info and I will buy them for that price Honest!Happy Listening. | |
| What is the best tweak? Each system is different, for example my CDP isolation device works great on my Sony but does nothing for my friends tubed Metronome CDP. My friedns Elrods made a huge improvement in his system but only a nice change in sound in mine. My biggest i... | |
| Various Wadia models Vs Cary Audio and others I have recently tried the Wadia 850 CDP(with the top of the line upgrade from Great Northern Sound) and a newer 861 Basic CDP. I had no problems running them direct into my amp or with my Pass X-1 preamp. I thought that the modified 850 worked per... | |
| Power Cord Quandry The LC-1 works great on preamps and digital components, but you hae to check its rating to use on amps. The LC-2 was not the best match for my Pass Labs X-250 power amp, I still prefer the David Elrod Sig 3 on the amp. The TG Audio Silver and JPS ... |
