| Parasound Halo JC-1 -VS- Bryston 7B-ST? Brian. thanks for noticing my typo :). I will blame Elvis! Yes speaker is now left and right is right. Unfortunately the dealer and I could not wait the 1200 hours for the JC's to sound good. In fact they rate the SIM amps a lot more than the para... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 -VS- Bryston 7B-ST? I have not heard the 7B-ST however have recently heard at home the 7B-SST and JC-1's. Bass was similar, probably the JC-1's more powerful but both excellent bass. I found the Bryston a little more musical and a little more lifelike in the upper fr... | |
| Looking for a new speaker. Wilson Maxx II ?? Are Wilson speakers in general only suited to near field listening or can they be successfullly used in a more farfield configuration?. I an talking about Sophia, WP7 or Maxx speakers. | |
| New Air Suspension Footers for VPI TNT When I spoke to Mike at VPI a little while ago, he said the balls would need to be replaced once a year. I would guess this would have been a pretty wide guestimate as they have not even been out for a year yet.He seemed to think given thye low co... | |

| Pass Labs Ono & Lyra Helicon SL combination I have the Xono and a helikon. Sounds great. If you like the Lyra sound, go for it. | |
| Vienna Mahler and Dunlavy SCIV/A comparison Chaltir. Raquel is spot re the mahlers, tube amps (most at least) need not apply.I am sure your plinus will drive them fine. I have just bought cj prem350 after a quite long series of amp auditions. It would seem that amps with bi-polar output sec... | |
| Tube Preamp for Mcintosh MC501 Monoblock If you want the best, try the VTL 7.5. sounds devine with the MC 501's. | |
| Pass X-250 and Tube Preamp A mate of mine has Herron tube pre amp with X350.5 running unbalalanced. No problems at all. | |
| Whats better than VTL 450 for the money? I was looking for a similar big tube amp as what you are looking for. I was able to get a very good price on a demo pair of VTL MB750 ref's and had them in house for about 3 weeks. I also have VTL 7.5 pre , alas in my system I could not get them t... | |
| Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10 Lanny. Yeah, we live a little too far to swap equipment - at least amps :).1400 hours is a little too long for anyone to be expected to wait, unless you have all ready put down the mula. time to put on some more music | |
| Rogue 66 Magnum vs. CJ Premier 17 LS personally, If I was going to upgrade to cj, buy a s/h prem 16 series 2. A whole lot better than the 17.BTW, The 17 is about to be discontinued and replaced with a pre based on the ACT2. It will be more expensive than the 17 thou I beleive. | |
| Looking for an amp to drive Eidolons Vision. I listened to a lot of SS amps to replace my tube monoblocks and in my system the cj was the best at playing music and making the music sound vibrant and alive. I actually have a fully balanced pre and bought balanced IC and much to my surprise th... | |
| Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10 I can only report on how the JC-1's sounded in my system when I listened to them twice over a 6 mnth period.the second time last week the amps had done approx 500 hours - that should be plenty for any amp to show 95% of what it can do. Both times ... | |
| Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10 Muralman, that is good that the cables are quiet. Reason for my question is that sometimes with more treble extension there is more noise. That is important to me as I primarily listen to vinyl which is noisier than CD from a background noise level. |
