| Do you remember your first cd? Front 242 "Official Version" and it sounds horrible now | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier Maybe cloudiness is not the best word, it's hard to describe this exactly as I hear it. Maybe a sort of sterility or deviation from naturalness, it does have a decent sense of space, but not like tubes do. My main system consists of all tubes and ... | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier Yeah I was staying out of it, but since you asked... Well to put is short, the Panache did not better my better gear. I find it super enjoyable and lively to listen to, but when it gets down to it, it just doesn't have the resolution of the higher... | |
| Need help choosing IC I still really like the Argent Pursang. I've had it for 1.5 years and I'm still really happy with the sound I'm getting from it. I just recently got a chance to try the new Pursang S interconnect, which is actually just a replacement for the regul... | |
| Whats better than VTL 450 for the money? The VTLs are awesome, I had them over the last few months and have recently sold them and moved on to Parasound Halo JC-1s. The VTLs are slightly soft in the bass, but they have everything else you desire. I only sold mine because they but out so ... | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier I'll be listening to the Panache soon and will report back on my thoughts against the more expensive competition.The Jrs for me sit about 4ft to the front of the speaker from the wall. They are front ported so that it could be possible to put them... | |
| Why "Cryo" anything? I had two of the same power conditioners, I lent one to a friend for a while. When he had it he got it cryo treated. When I got it back I did a side by side comparison with the regular one and I thought the cryo'd one sounded noticably better. I e... | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier I'm going to attempt to replace some Parasound JC-1s and a CJ preamp. Thats pretty tough competition, but I'm sick of the heat and the tubes, so if the Panache can come close I'll be pretty happy and money ahead too. I've got an Ayre D1-XE player ... | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier I'm getting mine in tommorrow! | |

| Any experience with the Esoteric UX-1 In last months issue of Absolute sound there was a review of both the high end Esoteric players. The reviewer directly compared them to the Ayre D1-X and in both cases he prefered substatially the sound of the Ayre player. I have never heard the E... | |
| Thiel CS6 to Von Schweikert VR4 JR - Am i Crazy? I think you will be disapointed by the bass the 4Jrs put out compared to the Theils. The Jrs have good bass, but it isn't weighty and full the way it is with a big speaker. I have mine in a pretty big room 18x24 and while they sound good, they are... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4JR Set Up First off, they need a lot longer than 100 hours to break in, more like 400 hours. Make sure the rear tweeter is cranked up all the way or it won't break in. They need to be played fairly hard too when breaking in. I listened to mine each day as t... | |
| VTL 450 or Parasound JC-1 Downunder-My 450s are an 01 model and they are the 450 signatures, I don't know about the other upgrades you mentioned. If I was to keep these I would probably see about getting all the updates done. I am running them as well as the JC-1s unbalanc... | |
| VTL 450 or Parasound JC-1 Hey I just happen to own both of those amps as we speak. I had the VTL 450s first and have them paired with a CJ Premier 17LS preamp. I don't think this is the best pair in the world. I have been bothered by 2 things with the 450s. First is the he... |
