| Parasound JC-1 and Rotel RB-1090: Similar sound? I have both JC-1's and RB-1090 and I've been switching between the two (3). I really like the Rotel and will keep it for a long time. It rocks better than the Parasound but is lacking detail and depth and all those audiophile things. It does seem ... | |
| Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording? I have tons of stuff that my friends snicker at but I don't feel guilty or embarrassed. What embarrasses me is that most of my friends have not broadened their musical horizons and still listen mainly to the stuff they loved in high school. Deep P... | |
| Should I get advents? Get 'em. I have five pair. If you can find another pair and have a large room you can have stacked Advents connected in parallel for an awesome system. In the 70's my double Advents driven by a Kenwood integrated amp were very effective in helping... | |
| Vinyl vs. digital: what am I doing wrong? I think you should try all of the kinds of music that you like before you firm up your opinion. Norah's stuff can make you kind of crazy for the exact imaging and piano tone differences on certain songs and they vary sonically by song sonce they w... | |
| Bet You Did Not Know Saturday is Record Store Day Oh yeah? I knew a week ago and right now I'm on the web making a list while waiting for my local store to open. Four live bands and 20% off everything at Streetlight in Santa Cruz. | |

| 400W amp under $2000 Rotel RB-1090 is 380W @8 ohms, over 700W @4 ohms, has XLR connections but is not truly balanced. Was recommended product in Absolute Sound for years. I have one that I'm not using and might sell it. I've been keeping it since it is very good even ... | |

| Kaki King female guitar goddess? She's awesome and in demand by many seasoned musicians to spice up their sound. I have all her CD's and have seen her in concert. I was sleepy when it started after sitting through two opening acts. One minute into the first song every mouth was h... | |
| Speaker brands with rotting foams? Advent Loudspeakers from the late 70's & 80's. I've refoamed mine twice and will keep doing it since they are still fun and sound good when stacked in parallel (I have 10 of these cuz I bought or took them back from all the people that bought ... | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? Bad and sold the most? Celine. Seems nice but can't listen to her although she makes many people deliriously happy. She just makes me delirious. | |
| Pleasant Surprises Can I mention two?1. Getting rid of the coffee table.2. Going back to the Rotel RB1090 after trying Class D monos. | |
| The Irrational But Efficacious CD Tweak Reminds me of when I let my '07 Acura MDX redline through a couple gears to blow out the cobwebs. I don't know if it really works but it sure is fun. "Sounds" like the same kinda thing. I also let the big Rotel (like 700+ watts into 4)run wild thr... | |
| Personal amp evolution Multiple Kenwood 70's integrated amps, then Kenwood Basic M-2, Adcom GFA-555II, Rotel RB-1090, Nuforce 9, Nuforce 9SE, then back to Rotel RB-1090 (had to rebuy one after selling the first one). Happy again now that I have the Rotel back. | |
