| 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 ... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso ? Rayhall, there is also a Calypso line stage that retials in the same price range of the Hovland. I have not heard it though.Happy Listening. | |
| Speaker Choices for Tube Amps KeithRNo, I have not upgrades to VK-31SE. I have been using a Pass X-1 with the Pass X-250 in balanced operation. I will do a preamp shootout earlier next year as I have been auditioning DACs over the past month. Then I plan on doing another amp s... | |
| Opinions on Electrocompaniet Amps Jrd351, the newer models as I understand have been upgraded so I am interested in knowing if anyone has heard them yet.Thanks | |
| Speaker Choices for Tube Amps I am usig the Talon Raven-S speakers. They are much much more dynamic and detailed than the B&Ws, with better bass. Talon is recommending that I stay with SS amps like Sim Audio, Electrocompaniet mono blocks or Belles. These seem to be trade o... | |
| Best SACD for under $1200 Why SACD? The format may change or not be in existance long term. You have a very revealing preamp with the X-1 and a good power amp. Your system will pass along whatever the source tells it to. In audio, spend some money on your source. I have be... |
