| Recommendation for a warm mid/high end amp I have returned to my Rotel RB-1090 after Nuforce 9SE and Parasound JC-1's since I moved to a smaller house and can no longer fit the JC-1's in the room. I am very satisfied since the Rotel has more body in the bass/midbass and has no real drawbac... | |
| You're probably listening too loud As to realistic sound levels...I don't want to listen to rock or electronica at live levels all the time. These days I find most rock concerts too loud and it feels like my hearing is being damaged. Most of the time when I'm at home I know I'm lis... | |
| so what do you do when listening? All kinds of stuff. Listen intently in awe, drink and party, play with the dog, work, doze, read hifi magazines, recall past musical endeavors, look for something else to play, whatever-any or all of the above. Plus double Advents in the garage-cl... | |
| Vintage integrated Amps. What to look for? I also suggest the Sansui AU-717. My roomate had one and I still think it was one of the best sounding setups I ever enjoyed. Maybe a little sensitive to low impedence loads as once in a while it would go into thermal protection after extended ent... | |
| Class A Amp Parasound JC-1's provide the first 25W in Class A, then AB to 400W into 8 ohms. Plenty avail here for $3200-3500/pr used. | |

| tube amp wattage questions/psb golds I may be a little late responding but I own Goldi's and can tell you that they like a whole bunch of power to sound good. I run mine with Rotel RB-1090 380WPC @ 8, and around 700WPC into 4 ohm speakers like the Goldi's, and also Parasound JC-1's w... | |
| Boston Acoustics T-1030 Foam My local pro sound rental place has done a few for me since I got tired of contact cement. They do a great job, right in town, and it isn't very expensive. Check for your local sound equipment rental place in the Yellow Pages. | |
| How can we settle for digital? My $2500.00 CD player sounds way better than my $300.00 CD changer sounds so I'm okay with it. Since I grew tired of surface noise on LP's a long time ago I'm okay with the compromises of digital, too. | |
| inserting new component--predictable results? The paint doesn't match the color chips. My wife and I are trying to choose a new exterior paint color but when we bring home samples to paint test swatches on the house the colors look way different than the paper color chips. This closely matche... | |
| Autos with stock awsome sound systems; Recomend? My Acura MDX with the premium sound system sounds really good. In the Car and Driver comparo with other luxury SUV's the MDX took top honors in driving performance as well as the stereo sound. When I get stuck in Bay Area commute traffic I just sw... | |
| Please recommend a high-powered SS amp I have had two and still have a Rotel RB-1090 and I highly recommend one. A little laid back but in a nice way and they can be had for around a grand. I did have the same problem with both though-the power switch tends to weld itself into the "on"... | |
| Any former PSB Goldi owners happy w/new bass? I have fooled around a fair amount with electronics and wires, SS and tubes. Currently using Parasound JC-1's fed by BAT VK-40 and Arcam CD33T. Syn Res Alpha Sterling Active, Harm Tech Truth Link, and some Signal Cable IC's, Analysis Plus Oval 12 ... | |
| Impressions of Beck's New album? I like it too but I'm still waiting for him to give us a masterpiece showing us how good he can be at songwriting and composition. When I first heard Mellow Gold and saw him in concert in Santa Cruz when that album was current I was floored by his... | |
