| ParaSound Halo A21 vs Nad M25 I know this is an old thread, but I believe the fuse directions are reversed. I tried them both ways a few times and much prefer the fuse on the back pointed out and the internal fuses pointed toward the front. It is much more extended and clear t... | |
| Pre / Amp RCA jumpers for NAD C356 Try the anticable jumpers. I used them and found them vastly superior to the audioquest ones. They were only around $20 I believe. | |
| Any One using Anticables Silver Cables I am using them and like them very much. I directly compared them to Audioquest Cheetahs and preferred the silver Anticables. They where tonally similar, but more open and clear. BTW I have the ones with the silver RCAs and I am also a Vandersteen... | |
| Wadia 121 Dedoding Computer? I just thought I would write a few preliminary observations about the 121. I just received it today and it is working and sounding great. I also have a Rega Apollo. The Wadia appears to be better sounding across the board. It is very quiet, transp... | |
| Alt Country/Folk, American roots Hi Todd, i saw the cave singers last summer and agree they do a nice job. I am also a big fan of Martin Sexton, Neko Case and Ryan Adams. I will have to check out Ryan Bygham and the Wood Brothers. Thanks for introducing me to some new music.David | |
| Signature Anti-Cables I am not sure if I have what you are talking about, but I have two pair of the RCA silver reference interconnects with the silver Eichmann plugs. I fond them to out perform the regular XLR anti-cables they replaced. It is a little hard to comment ... | |
| Opinion re/Parasound A23 with Vandys? Well, I am not sure if my input will help as it is not with the Quarto or Model 5, but with the 3A sig. the A23 was not acceptable. I even tried using 2 A23's as mono block in a couple configurations and it sounded better, but far from good. The s... | |
| Parasound A-23s in mono or A-21 In my system an a21 was better in every way by a very noticeable amount then 2 a23's no matter how I set them up. I agree with the others. Go with an a21. | |
| Best interconnect and Power Cord for Rega Apollo Cables are said to be system dependent so I can only really tell you how they are in my system. I like both Audioquest (cheetah) and anti-cables for interconnects. I do notice significant differences with interconnects between my Apollo and Paraso... | |
| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 The picture quality of a BluRay disc is very noticeable on my 100" screen with a 1080p projector viewed at around 12 feet. The picture is much cleaner with a greater sense of depth and better color. I do have a good upscaling dvd player that made ... | |
| Vandersteen with? Definitely try your system with and without your sub you may find that you do not need one. Sure the 3As sound better with the Vandersteen subs, but they also sound great without them. I currently do not run subs because of financial reasons, but ... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC I tried it IMS and it rolled off the high frequencies and decreased dynamics so they went back to Home Depot. | |
| Vandersteen with? I am not sure what the difference in sound is between the two amps; perhaps current. The NHT sub would work, but the Vandersteen subs use a high pass crossover that relieves your amp and speaker of producing deep bass. Therefore, every area of the... | |
| Vandersteen with? I do not use subs with my setup. I can make my system have too much bass or too little bass by moving the speakers and seating location in the room so subs are not necessary even in my large room. I have heard the 3as with and without subs and the... | |
| Vandersteen with? I have the Parasound A21 paired with Vandersteen 3a sigs. in a 25 X 30 foot room and it sounds great. I tried the Vandersteens with the Parasound A23 and it did not sound good at all. I also have listened a lot to the 3as powered by the Parasound ... |
