| Best Tube Preamp for JC-1 Monoblocks? Thanks Mark and Bob, for your responses.OK guys, what tube preamp with balanced outputs would you most recommend for the JC-1's, based on personal experiences?Thanks! | |
| Anyone heard the Onkyo sp 1000 yet? EARSI don't agree with your bashing of Audio_girl and the Linn.I am not a newbie, or immature, and as you know, I used to own the Onkyo DV-SP1000, and I can state with absolute confidence that the Linn is simply in another league audio-wise.I hear... | |
| DNA 500, MC 501s or JC-1$3-$5k on an ex-demo amp I own the older Paradigm Reference Studio 100 version 2's, and they match up EXTREMELY WELL with my Parasound Halo JC-1 monoblocks. | |
| Anyone heard the Onkyo sp 1000 yet? Ears,Sorry, but as a former Onkyo DV-SP1000 owner, I do have to to agree with Audio_girl about one thing: The Linn Unidisc is sonically in a different league than the Onkyo. I was totally shocked on how awesome the Linn sounded on all formats! Eas... | |
| Are the Denons the Best Universals to Mod? I agree with Oldpet on one thing:Hey Doug Jesse at RAM, when am I going to be getting my modded Toshiba, or at least an e-mail response from you?Its been almost a month now.THIS IS GETTING REDICULOUS! | |
| Mcintosh vs Parasound I second Perfectionist on this!THEY DO TAKE UPWARDS OF 1,500 HOURS, and this is NOT BS!Mine have also got about 1,600 hours on them, and they sound awesome.To prove my case, I have a friend who owns a pair with only about 400 hours on them. We unh... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Carmantom and others:Just a reminder, the Esoteric DV-50 used in the shoot-out at Mr.Walshes was NOT a stock unit. It had a few mods from Reference Audio Mods. So it is not fair to compare a stock DV-50 to it. | |
| Anyone heard the Onkyo sp 1000 yet? EARS,I might read reviews from time to time, but I put absolutely no stock in them anymore whatsoever.I have bought components that were top rated by the rags, and they absolutely sucked, or did not match up with my other gear. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Wow, After reading these last few posts, I myself, have lost faith in 711 smilin.He built his up his APL modded Denon DVD-3910 like it could beat almost any player out there, and he threw some pretty insulting remarks at AVGURU and his system in t... | |
| Review: Esoteric DV-50 with Superclock 3 mod CD Player Tgun5,It is truly amazing that your slightly modded Esoteric DV-50 was neck-and-neck with the FULLY MODIFIED APL Denon and Modwright Sony in the shoot-out!Wow! Thats saying something! | |
| Review: Parasound Halo JC-1 Mono-Blocks Amplifier Rporter,No hiss at all. Mine are dead silent using my Parasound P/LD-2000 preamp.Are your sure that its not your preamp or source? | |
| Amplification Suggestions for Legacy Whispers??? I have to disagree with Blues_fan about the Aragon Palladium 1K monoblocks and the JC-1's. As you all probably know by now, I own a pair of JC-1's and I love every aspect of their performance. They are the best amps, when FULLY broken-in, that I h... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? I think that this shoot-out at Brians just goes to show that there will NEVER, EVER be a "best sounding" audio component in any category! And if you think that your certain component is the "BEST", or the "TOP-OF-THE HEAP", DREAM ON!!! It may be t... | |
| Is Quality Prog. Scan DVD Under $500 possible? Buy used.You can always find plenty of used dvd-players in mint condition here on Agon.I never buy new gear anymore! | |
| Parasound JC-1 Questions 1. No need to leave them on all the time. In my system they sound their best after they have been on for at least 90 minutes, and even better as the day goes on.2. Don't know about the Krells. The JC-1's get pretty warm on LOW BIAS, and pretty hot... |
