| Levinson 383 vs. Rowland Concentra I have a friend who owned both. The 383 didn't stay long.The Concentra II is also way above the I. | |
| Adcom Amps & Pres I just traded my GFP 750 for an Acoustic Reality digital amp. I still own an Adcom 5500. This is THE most underrated 200 WPC Mosfet amp available today, in my opinion. It will STOMP a 555 everywhere but the bass, which mosfets just don't control a... | |
| Adcom and 3 series Maggies I drove my 3.3Rs with Adcom 555IIs and Parasound 1200II THXamps. The Parasounds sounded better to me.If I had your options I'd try bi-amping with the 5802 driving the ribbon & midrange, the 565 monos on the bass panels. The 5802 is a MOSFET am... | |
| 555mkII find a better.... Which subs? You should remember that bridging a stereo amp cuts the damping factor (bass control) in half. I've owned (4) 555IIs, the three with Toshiba output transistors sounded better than the one I had with ADC transistors.Just take a flashlig... | |
| Most forgiving speakers? I'd go with Magnepan. I had the 3.3rs & they were the most revealing/most forgiving speakers I've owned until I got my Apogee Mini Grands (more revealing, not as forgiving).I know it sounds like a contradiction, but I could use stock Adcom 555... | |
| Good match for Adcom 555? I'd say just stay away from metal tweeters, that amp is definitely better on soft domes, like Montanas.Thiels won't work either....I've tried. | |

| Is the audio research D150 still a worthily amp? Don't turn it on unless you have access to a variac & you can "wake it" gradually!If your not familiar with this procedure, you'll have plenty of input on this site... | |
| why do i lose center image when i use xlr cables? Boogama,I just called the local Exposure repair tech. They nevermade a balanced amp. Don't bother with balanced cables. | |
| why do i lose center image when i use xlr cables? Find out if that Exposure amp is truly balanced. If it isn't, you're making the signal go through a converter, that won't sound as good as the single-ended (RCA) amp inputs... | |
| Favorite SS Amp? Since you're here in Phoenix, go to Esoteric Audio in Scottsdale & hear the Rowland 201s.Then go to Celestial on 27th Ave & Thomas Rd. They have the Pass X amps, YBA & Electrocompaniet. | |
| Srangest ,most out there sounding music "Is a Woman" by LambchopTo me, this is like a philosopher with minimal instrumental backup. It's good music to nod off to. | |
| WHOA This isn't what I expected. That Nak was so bad, I believe Threshold sued them to stop selling it. Nak had licensed the "Stasis" design, then low bid the build quality & put a thick faceplate on it... | |

| Please read and help me Adcom GFP 750. One gain stage. You can choose active or passive mode. About $700.00 here on Audiogon used.The only warning is the RCAs are too close for big barrelled cables like Transparent, Ixos Ixotica...If you're using balanced cables, not an ... |
