| Class A preamp or Class A amp Where do you live? I live in Phoenix. My Aleph 2s are Class A & I don't use them in the summer. I don't enjoy music with my heat pump cycling on & off......A Class A pre-amp is not as big an issue - much less heat generated..... | |
| Deepest Bass in the Known Universe... Does anyone have some supply caps that will give my Aragon 4004MKII enough headroom for the 2.5 billion year long note?(They don't have to be THX approved).Thanks! | |
| Gryphon gets no press, but is great. Here's my two cents!I purchased a Gryphon Exorcist (used) here on Audiogon last May. It works very well. I did take the end cap off to check it out. It has a 9 volt battery that is almost an interference fit. I can't remove it (easily). I e:mailed... | |
| ML ReQuests bi amp with 5ch amp? $1500 used? Hey Dan!I think you should try a Sherbourn. I admit my bias, I own the 5/1500. This amp is configured like a Bryston 9B - Five monoblocs in one chassis. I believe this is definitely better than other amps that share power supplies.This amp puts ou... | |
| Which processor from this group and why. I'd try a REF30 if I were you. The REF50 had some teething problems, I'm nut sure if they're dialed in yet.The one advantage of the REF50 is Dolby Pro LogicII. All my DVDs are AC3 or DTS so I don't really miss that.The B&K has excellent bass m... | |
| Maggies on my mind. I agree with Jafox. I've owned the 3.3Rs & now own ApogeeMini Grands. The true ribbon tweeter is just better than anything else - as long as you can dedicate the room & the gear it deserves. | |
| Are balanced interconnects usually better? I second the Thsalmon's response. If you're not using truly balanced pieces, there's usually no reason to use balanced cable (unless you have a long cable run).The mainstream audio press is in my opinion deliberately vague on this. They'll usually... | |
| B&K or Parasound? I recently upgraded my video from a B&K AVP3090 processor & Parasound 1206 amp, to a B&K Ref 30 & a Sherbourn 5 channel amp. The REF 30 is an excellent piece for the money. It has a sophisticated bass management system that really ... | |
| Why the limit on warranty to subsequent purchasor? McIntosh was purchased by Clarion (the last I heard).Crown was recently purchased by Harmon International.Things do change and reputations built up over decades can evaporate when someone bigger purchases a well known company............ | |
| PASS XA 200 or 160? I haven't heard these but I'm looking forward to reading any reviews that come up. I do own the Pass Aleph. Unfortunately, my local dealer won't floor these. Who can blame them, these are so expensive & they will heat a room fast...Another fac... | |
| Can I adjust the bias of my Adcom GFA 5500 The 555s were adjustable.... Why don't you ask your local dealer or Adcom? You should have the bias limit figure & a meter to do this anyway. My Parasound dealer biased my Adcom amps for me.......Not something for an amatuer-I wouldn't try it ... | |
| Aleph Owners - Temp issues ?? 90F I live in Phoenix. I use my Alephs Oct-May. I use my Rowland & Aragon in the summer..... | |
| Damage in Shipping by UPS - RE CEC TL 1 X - HELP If UPS accepted it for shipping, they should cover any damage incurred while they had it in their system. I would contact them Monday morning & start the process.Contact Parasound & verify if they still have service/parts for CEC. They are... | |
| Why the limit on warranty to subsequent purchasor? O.K.Let's suppose that some companies have dropped their transferrable warranty specifically to deter internet sales. The internet is here to stay. I own 4 Pass Aleph pieces. I bought two here on Audiogon from private parties, the other two I purc... | |
| Life expectancy for speakers? If you don't over-drive or under power the speakers, everything except the woofer surrounds should last a long time. My local speaker manufacturer/rebuilder recently told me the much advertised Sharper Image washable (no filter) air cleaning machi... |
