| best amp for BASS On the used market I would recommend the Parasound HCA-3500 350 WATT/CH dual-mono amp!You can probably find one for around $1,000.00 to $1,100 used. Massive power supply, two huge toroid transformers, two power cords!The best bass I have heard! | |
| Opinions on Carver TFM 55x-THX? Carver amps are OVERRATED!I owned a Carver A-760x for years,then bought a Parasound HCA-3500 power amp.Eve though the Parasound is rated lower, it goes louder without compression, has a more extended top-end, sounds smoother, and the bass extensio... | |
| Paradigm Reference 100V.2/ Parasound/Adcom? Yes I am. | |
| Is there any obvious advantage for monoblocks? I own a Parasound HCA-3500.Hard to move around, but exceptional bass power and extension, goes to REALLY HIGH VOLUMES without compression or strain, and has great imaging and sounstaging.The bass is its biggest advantage in my situation.I use 2 de... | |
| Carver Power Amps Want more proof that the Carver A-760x is over-rated?I have a stereo receiver in my bedroom, a very good one, a Harman-Kardon HK-3470.A high current model rated at 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 130 watts per channel into 4 ohms. I brought ... | |
| Adcom GFP-750 Modfication Question A very important question: Is there any way the sonic performance of the active stage of the Adcom GFP-750 could be DOWNGRADED by having the caps changed to Black Gates, compared to stock? My system sort of sounds dark and warm to begin with.Would... | |
| Carver Power Amps That was the review of the Carver that I mentioned in a previous thread I posted earlier.Man, talk about over-rated power output specs.!! | |
| McCormack DNA-125/225 Upgrades Will the upgrades to the DNA-125 and DNA-225 will put them in the new Mccormack DNA-500 amp territory sonically? | |
| Carver Power Amps Sorry to start such a heated dispute over Carver amps.I can still say without a shadow of doubt,and all my friends who have heard my Parasound HCA-3500/Adcom GFP-750/Paradigm Reference Studio/100v.2 system agree that the Parasound sounds less comp... | |
| Adcom GFP-750 Modfication Question Hey Lmack,What all sonic improvements, top-end, midrange, and bottom-end did you gain after you had your former Adcom gfp-750 modified by Stan Warren at Supermods with the Black Gate caps? How substantial were the improvements? Is it worth the tro... | |
| Carver Power Amps Hey,find the review of the Carver A-760x in the May 1997 issue of Secrets Of Home Theater And High Fidelity by John E.Johnson Jr.Read the last page of the review.Read about the measured output power! | |
| Carver Power Amps The Parasound HCA does not have a built-in bass boost!It has a much beefier power supply, two huge torodial tranformers,and huge storage capacitors.Its bass is CLEARLY better extended,punchier,tighter, and better defined than the Carver A-760x.The... | |
| Carver Power Amps AND LAB TESTED WTH VERY SHORT DURATION TONE BURSTS AND NOT SUSTAINED TONES?I heard cass H amps [switching rails] could not sustain high power with long term bass drum kicks or sustained deep bass notes? Any thoughts? | |
| Adcom GFP-750 Modfication Question Ritteri,He supposedly works on the active stage.Changes the capacitors to Black Gates.How much he charges, I have no idea.I hope someone will tell me.I tried to call but there was no answer.You can call him at 1-541-344-3696.Best times are between... | |
