| Parasound HCA-3500, Am I Crazy? This is the take that Steve at Empiracal Audio has always had. If you have read his posts in the past, he has alwasy said this. I am most likely going to have his mods done (This will be the first time I have givne any equipment to Steve). He has ... | |
| How good is Empirical Audio's Parasound JC1 Mod? John,I kind of agree with you. If one has had a component for a long time (say a year), one tends to know the sound of that component (and their system) fairly well. In that case, the individual could send out that component, get it back two weeks... | |
| How good is Empirical Audio's Parasound JC1 Mod? As I have some street credit on audiogon, and as Nicholasz is new, let me speak a little on his behalf. I have been talking to Nicholasz and he is a wonderfully nice gentleman. As a new poster, I am sure he does not realize that he has broken some... | |
| Anybody tried EMM DCC2 into preamp? I spoke with a gentleman this weekend who prefered it to his BAT VK-51-se. Sorry I cannot give you more detail..we did not talk about it that long. The only thing I remember he said was that he felt the DCC2 provided more body. It is probably an e... | |
| mbl 101 E versus Von Schweikert VR-7 SE What amps will you be using to drive the speakers? | |
| Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10 Shane,I know a number of people who have these amps (including myslef), and I am pretty sure all of them will tell you that prior to about 1200 hours, they relly do not shine. After that initial 1200 to 1500 hours they are a totally different amp.... | |
| Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10 Bob,Is it ok to turn the JC-1's on and off every day or does it take to much of a toll on them? I prefer to do this but certainly do not want to hurt the amps. Thanks for your responce | |
| Review: Spectron Musician III Amplifier Well, I just posted on the Asylum...but since I see the same review is here too, I will say the same things I did there. I want to second this review. I owned a Spectron MII for a few years and loved it. It was a trouble free amp. I had the oppurt... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr. Well, I will add in my two cents and say that while I have not heard the VR4jr, I own their big brother and feel it does quite well with jazz (which is what I primarily listen two). It just requires that you mate the speakers with an appropriate a... | |
| Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen I think we have all felt like that at one time or another...at least the most crazy of us (I am certainly included in that group). I am about to go into steady state as far as my system is concerned. It took me a while to figure out what "I" like!... | |
| Pass Labs X2.5 - vs. - Placette Active Preamps The Plactte Active (I owned one of the very few fully balanced versions) is truely one of the best preamps I have ever heard (It may be the best, but I do not have enough expereience comparing it to every unit on the planet to make that claim). It... | |
| Wilson WP 7 versus Von Schweikert VR7 I agree that the WP7's and the VR4Gen III SE's or VR4SR are a better comparison. Or if you pockets are bigger, the MAXX2's and the VR7's. | |
| How to improve my system : Shunyata Hydra ? Tha valhalla is not a bass thief, but like anything it requires some system matching. The valhalla is very airy and detailed, but is certainly not the king when it comes to dynamics. You may want to try harmonix interconnects. They are monsterouly... | |
| Where do I go from here ? Spectron Musician II I also forgot to mention that powercords make a bigger then normal difference with the spectron..or at least they did for me. If you want more midrange, try and elrod Sig 3 or elrod statement. Both will give you more of the midrange you are lookin... | |
| Where do I go from here ? Spectron Musician II Wow, I am probably one of three experts in this area as I (and I beleive two others on this site) have owned both amps (Spectron II and JC-1's). I know what you are saying about the amp sounding strained, but I don't think that is what you are hea... |
