| Parasound JC-1 and B&W 803d Not at all Brian. I just didnt want to hijack this thread. I have tried many different spk cables from,audioquest, kimber, and alpha core. The alpha core has been the best by far. I have run direct from the Wadia and I get a similar character but ... | |
| Parasound JC-1 and B&W 803d Since you have not had much luck with responses to this thread I will chime in. I have no experience with B&W 803d. I do own the JC 1s. Based solely on what Ive read about B&W I dont think they would be a good match with JC 1s. To my ear t... | |

| XLR TO XLR-RCA ADAPTER I ran the Cardas adapters into the balanced input on my JC1s. The sound was slightly more extended and detailed but after a few weeks I went back to all single ended. All single ended works much better in my system. Im glad I tried it but it was k... | |
| 20 amp dedicated lines Hi guys. Sorry its taken so long to get back. Ive tried all of the above suggestions with the exception of actually installing the new lines and power conditioning. I really want to try a Hydra. Only one thing at this poit seems to help and that i... | |
| 20 amp dedicated lines Thank you for all the excellent suggestions. I have measured the room response and there is a large dip at 100-125 hz. From what I have read this is common to most rooms but Im not sure how to address it. I will definitely try the extension cords,... | |
| Static electricty - Can it damage audio gear This happens to me every day. I just touch my stand first and dissipate the charge. | |
| Which speakers vs Vandersteen 3A sig's in large rm I second the 2WQ subs recommendation. In my room the 3As are extremely vivid/detailed and completely disappear with good recordings. They are very difficult to set up and need excellent components upstream. They will reveal any weak link. FWIW I s... | |
| What cable for Vandersteen 2WQ subs Thanks for the response guys. Kjweisner, I think you are right about it being the room. I do have a pretty big dip at 125 hz. Dont get me wrong, the bass is just slightly lean. I dont perceive it as a huge problem. Also this is something new that ... | |
| Vandersteen 3a sigs- Tube or SS Parasound JC-1s. Best Ive heard with 3A sigs yet. Belles, VTL, Ayre, Quicksilver are all very good also IMO. The JC 1s just seem to do everything well IMS. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Allanblissett - I dont have a turntable yet. I bought the Chennin with the idea that I would eventually get into vinyl. I have however heard my Chennin phono stage on a fellow audiophiles system. He is using the Aesthetix(sp)IO which I believe is ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Allanblissett - I have the Chennin in sheoak and chrome top. It looks fantastic so dont worry. A dealer Ive worked with for years came over for a listen the other night and was very impressed with both looks and sound. Mine is a little darker than... | |
| Preamp Recommendations for Parasound Halo JC-1's? What is your budget and what are your sonic preferences? If you are willing to put up with a wait of a few months I would recommend one of the Supratek pres. I am using the Chennin with my JC 1s and it is fantastic. This pre paired with the JC 1s ... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ce Signature vs 3A Landru64 - I moved from 2ce sig powered with VTL MB 125 with 2Wq subs to 3A sig powered with the VTLs and 2wq subs. The 2ce sigs sounded great with the 125 watt vtls but the 3A sigs were awful. No dynamics. Its strange because the 3As are more eff... | |
