Pass Labs X-1 -VS- Adcom GFP-750 Preamp
Stehno,If you will view my thread history, I never had a thread which asked for a comparison between the Adcom and the Pass Labs X-1. Maybe I had one for the Adcom vs the X-2.5?I am using an Adcom GFP-750 modified by Stan Warren with Black Gate ca... 
SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this?
What brands of solid-state power amplifiers and preamplifiers DO NOT use any MOSFETS at all in their signal paths?Are there any brands that use bi-polars exclusively? 
Infinity Renaissance 90 -VS- VMPS RM 30 OR RM 40.
Thank you,Plato,for the very detailed and helpful reply! 
proceed vs. aragon vs. parasound preamps
Personally, I think the Parasound P/LD-2000 is the best overall sounding solid-state preamp under $1,000.00 and even above! I have tried out many with my JC-1 monoblock amps, and it is clearly superior, with the JC-1's at least.It is extremely dyn...

General opinion about ADCOM amplifiers
I owned two Adcom GFA-5802 power amps. I used an Adcom GFP-750 preamp with them. There was a great synergy with these units.The Adcom GFA-5802 is a great sounding amp, especially for its asking price! Better than I expected!It had a smooth, open, ... 
Best used speaker for $2,000 for rock music
I second the JBL's!Clear, loud, and clean on rock. Even their smaller monitors hold together well at higher SPL's. This applies with their slightly older speakers. I'm not real familiar with their newer designs. 
Speakers for loud listening. really loud...
JBL ANYDAY!! 
Parasound Halo JC-1 Monoblock Break-in Period.
I would guess that the reason some people sell their JC-1's is that they don't give them their full 24/7 60 day break-in with a musical signal going through them, so they never get to hear them at their fullest potential. 
how good signal cable?
Wetcoaster,Let us know how the Silver Resolutions sound in your system when you get them!Thanks.
