| How tall do you like your images? This discussion has been very interesting in terms of provoking thought around what I feel, acoustic treatment wise, is the remaining weak link of my room. My listening room is my living room, so it has double duty of TV and music. I would lov... | |
| Some thoughts on Focal Kanta I have the Kanta 3s, which I auditioned against Sopra 3s and Revels. I loved how dynamic they are along with the revealing side. They are great and IMO underappreciated speakers. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? George Thorogood, lead up was Robert Cray in Costa Mesa CA. Phenomenal, and huge kudos for anyone at that age who still goes live. | |
| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? Grew up in Hong Kong, my dad had a Sansui stack with three way bookshelf speakers. My first 'system' was a Wal-Mart surround sound for $80 bucks. Didn't get serious until bonding with my fiancé's dad around music and got me down the rabbit hol... | |
| Parasound vs Coda Destination HiFi is about an hour from me, so it's definitely worth a drive up there if I can make time. @reg19 If you have a minute, curious about what you liked on the JC1+ over the other reputable options you tried? | |
| Tune of the Day @curiousjim After you posted that Frampton song, I did some exploring. All Blues is also fantastic (the whole album). | |
| Parasound vs Coda @helomech Thanks for the explanation, Destination Hifi is not far so I plan to go up for a demo. They're the closest Coda dealer by far. @yyzsantabarbara I did not, I was over optimistic on how much time I had this past weekend. A weakness of ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @curiousjim I wasn't sure if it got posted in the jazz thread, but such a good album. Tried a new sun aged special of Whistlepig, not sure it's their best if I'm totally honest! | |
| Parasound vs Coda @helomech If you recall, what did you like more about Coda over Parasound besides being quieter? | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Somebody Loan Me a Dime - Fenton Robinson Drink pairing: Whistlepig on the rocks. | |
| Parasound vs Coda That's a really cool brand, will dig in on it more. So many options. To the point on multiple inputs on the amp side, the JC5 has that too. Good idea on attaching two pres and trying both. | |
| Parasound vs Coda I've definitely seen several members with experience from Pass preamps that they aren't the most exciting or lively compared to others, granted the XP12/22/32s are universally considered improvements over the prior generation. I think I'm goin... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @yyzsantabarbara That's the first I've seen about the packing point, interesting! I'm going to Sunny and see if maybe I can put a deposit down to demo it. That would be ideal but not sure if they would. I just don't want warmth at the expens... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @yyzsantabarbara There's also this one floating around, it's been re-listed a few times. CODA No. 16 Amplifier For Sale - US Audio Mart I too am not interested in something overly 'tubey' but a touch of warmth with all the detail and refinemen... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @yyzsantabarbara Do you know if they allow home demos? I'd be willing to put money down for any dealer willing to do that. Covina isn't far from me either (I'm in Newport Beach). |
