| Looking for a tube Preamp new or used for under $2000... I also have the A21 but with the P5 pre. I have also wondered what a tube preamp would do for that vaunted “tube sound”. I’m looking at these options as well. 👍🏻 | |
| Enquiring minds want to know I’ve wondered: “Wouldn’t it be cheaper to sample an hallucinatory drug to achieve auditory nirvana than to spend $20,000 on apparatus?” | |
| The Decline of the Music Industry If I might venture a guess, I think the difference between music now versus decades ago is that the criteria for judging talent has changed, not only for music but for the movie and TV industries as well. I think today the singers and actors that... | |
| Does it annoy you when companies don't show the internals of electronics ? I know nothing about electronics, but when I first went about acquiring some higher end equipment, I read a lot of reviews. What settled me on the Parasound A21, besides the price and the good reviews, was when I saw the top off and saw the insid... | |
| Help! Spakers damaged during shipping?Paid insurance (with proof)being told not Insured? P.S. I recently bought a used tuner from a vender in CA (I live in Ohio). The vender said they didn’t have the original box or packing material but would pack it securely. The tuner arrived in a shipping box but was not double boxed. In place o... | |
| Help! Spakers damaged during shipping?Paid insurance (with proof)being told not Insured? Some here say that if you sign for the package then you are accepting it as-is. But seldom have I had to sign for anything, not even the Martin Logan speakers I bought last year — was told to expect the packages on a date and then when I checked t... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? I know I don’t have the technical knowledge or the experience with equipment of many on this forum, so it is easy for me to find threads that discuss something interesting to me. I especially enjoy the postings of those who can take a highly tech... | |
| My hearing deficits are becoming clear... Like many, when I was a teen I went to concerts and liked my music LOUD. But over the years I found that I enjoyed the music much more when it was at a low-to-medium sound level. I can listen much better for each instrument and find that relaxin... | |
| CD or DVD player to use as a transport I have debated whether to replace my 25+ year old Pioneer PD-M702 CD changer. I know the consensus here is that it is junk, but it sounds good to me and still works. The other consideration is that I have a Bluesound Vault 2i and have loaded all... | |
| Can flexible power cables sound good? I don’t think this is a ridiculous question. When I replaced the stock power cords that came with my Parasound equipment with Silnote cords, I had to move my equipment out from the wall a couple more inches to accommodate them. If OP cannot do t... | |

| Suggestions Please . . Picky Tuner @rodman99999, I couldn’t find selectivity data for the Fisher fm 660, but the fm selectivity for the Parasound is 80 db, which is described as very good. | |
| Suggestions Please . . Picky Tuner Thanks for the suggestions. I will read up at the links you posted to try to educate myself.The antenna I have is a Magnum Dynalab ST-2, which is supposed to be pretty good. I think I will first try another location in my attic to mount it and s... | |
| Mistakes I’ve made tnic73: You need to stay away from that cousin! The only things I have loaned out and not gotten back were some CD’s. I learned not to lend any more out and most people don’t ask. I also try to deal with reputable people that do what they say a... | |
| Best Power cable around/prefer under $300.... I just bought two new Silnote power cables off of Audiogon for my Parasound amp and pre for $100 plus tax each. |
