| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? As of today, in my bedroom system, my Cary CAD-300-SEI, integrated.The best Tube sound I've ever heard. | |
| In what ways is Mark Levinson better than Krell? None, now that Harman International has them in limbo. | |
| Best midrange on a high current SS amplifier Try any quality MOSFET amp. My first choice would be Pass Aleph 2s.My next choice would be a pair of Adcom 5500s, you could power the tweeters & midrange on each side, with a dedicated MOSFET channel, and use your Adcom 565s on the bass, where... | |
| 15" vs 18" subwoofer - which to buy? I have one Bag End Infra 18. It will shake the pictures on the wall. I recently purchased (2) conventional 12" powered subs from a local Phoenix dealer (Celestial) to augment it.The Bag end goes low, I want to have more fleshed out bass above 20 H... | |
| Which of These Budget SS Preamps? Try the Adcom GFP 750. If you like it, a Pass Aleph P or X series preamp will be the next upgrade. | |
| Sony's best dedicated cdp before sacd... I've had my XA7ES on 24/7, (unless I'm out of state),for about 5 years.My SCD-777ES is in the box, waiting to be sent in for repairs.You tell me which player is more "robust". | |
| Has anyone tried two bridged Parasound A23s? You'll cut the damping factor (bass control) in half, if you bridge the Parasounds. If the speaker is biwireable,I'd biamp it with 2 channels per speaker. | |
| Anyone know anything about Eleanor McEvoy? I just paid $35.00 for the YOLA LP at a local dealer.That's the most I've ever spent for 1 LP.I'm looking for "Portrait of an Artist" on LP or CD... | |
| any suggestion for a narrow mini receiver Check out the small Parasound gear.They make an amp, preamp, tuner & phonostage.Very nice.AudioAdvisor has them on their website. | |
| Plinius sa250 overheating I've seen/heard the SA102 amp at a demo. It did indeed run hotter than any other "Class A" amp I've ever seen. I can hold my hand on a Pass Aleph amp for a few seconds. I'd never do that with the Plinius.I'm going to guess they could use more heat... | |
| Pass X250.5 or Plinius SA 250 I have not heard the SA 250, but I did hear the SA102 on demo, at my Pass dealer. It sounded excellent, to me.I haven't heard the 250.5, but if it is as much of an improvement as the 350.5 is, it will be an excellent piece, in my opinion.The Pass ... | |
| "They simply don't make them like this anymore" Let me elaborate:Audioengr, You hit the nail on right on the head. I own several Pass Aleph amps. I'm a fan of MOSFETS & "tube sound". I never liked the Pass X series amps enough to transition to them.The new X .5 series amps are much better t... | |
| Pass Aleph 60 vs. Two Aleph 30 I own 2 Aleph 30s & a pair of Aleph 60s. I have not tried the 2 Aleph 30s bi-amped.Theoretically, dedicating a channel to each tweeter & woofer should sound better. But you will need twice the interconnects & twice the speaker cable, w... | |
| Cheap Backup Amp Needed Adcom 5500. 200 watts per channel, MOSFETS will mate well with your Watt/Puppies. This amp will be less authoritative in the bass than an Aragon 4004, but it sounds better (to me) in the midrange and on top.I own Pass Aleph, Rowland, Adcom, Aragon... | |
| equipment rack along the back wall-Bad? Taking the rack out from between the speakers is absolutely the way to go.The speakers should image better. You should notice it right away.I always run my Apogees with the shortest Target rack I own for CD, preamp & crossover. All amps & ... |
