| CTC Blowtorch Hi Mike,Stacking them will work fine for the interim. I had mine set up that way for a while till I put them in a proper rack. Depending upon what else is nearby, you may notice a reduction in noise by separating them. Isolating the power supply (... | |
| Pass Labs X-600 vs. X350.5 vs. SoundLabs? Touche, Teajay. I may wax enthusiastic about the JC-1s, but that's because they work well with Sound Labs. Alas, they're not for everyone. I would sell other solid state amps for the speakers if I honestly felt they were better and/or a better val... | |
| Shelter 90X Tracking Force Recommended tracking force range is 1.4 to 2.0 grams. At 1.9 grams you are within the range and probably are fine, but the optimum will depend upon the effective mass of the arm and cartridge combination. | |
| Pass Labs X-600 vs. X350.5 vs. SoundLabs? Veloceracing, at the risk of being dogmatic, I _strongly_ recommmend breaking in the amps 24/7 with music playing, not cycling the power. You've probably broken them in a good bit but perhaps not as effectively as running them around the clock (no... | |
| Pass Labs X-600 vs. X350.5 vs. SoundLabs? If your JC-1s aren't yet broken in, I suggest you haven't heard them. Play music through them around the clock. Volume level doesn't matter (just not zero), nor does high or low bias setting. They will become much more agile, dynamic, sweet, and e... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine Hdm, your figures are off a bit. The Loricraft PRC3 is $1895. | |

| Next Turntable Congratulations, Whart! You will be very happy. What cartridge will you be using?Brian | |
| Parasound JC-1 and B&W 803d Braro, thanks for the email and hope you don't mind my posting thoughts here. I have no experience with the Supratek Chenin preamp and am curious how it works driving the JC-1s, nor am I familiar with the Audioquest Cheetah interconnects from Wadi... | |
| Parasound JC-1 and B&W 803d Braro, it would be interesting to know what the rest of your system is, to put your comments in context.Brian | |
| Need help choosing spkrs I've never heard I strongly recommend traveling to hear the speakers you're considering, rather than blindly spending thousands of dollars on something you've never heard and may not like. By the way, did you mean Monday 3/13 or Friday 3/17? What's the rush?Brian | |

| New David Gilmour record:any feedback? It's really good. I anticipate people flocking to buy this as word gets out. My nearest Best Buy was just about sold out. Get it!Brian | |
| I hate stereo stores But found the next best thing Good story I can relate to, Phil ;-) On the other hand, there are countless wonderful places to go in Chicago, and for the most part the people are just as wonderful.Brian |
