Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
Sorry for the delayed response. Milpai, i share the same thoughts as you do about this amp. Running through my Sonic Frontiers tube preamp, I feel like i have a great combination of both detail and warmth. The soundstage is very plentiful as well.... 
Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
Hey Milpai, I have been enjoying the amp now for a few months. Parasound took care of the problem and actually brought it up to current standards. I am very pleased with the sound and the current setup. The combination of the Sonic Frontiers pream... 
Sonic Frontiers Line 2, Heaven or Hell?
Ngjockey, could you elaborate on balanced AC? What is that? My first foray into a Sonic Frontiers Line 2 began alittle less than stellar as well, which i briefly described in a previous posting. BUT.......my recent discovery in how I accidentally ... 
Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
Milpai,I shipped my amp out to Parasound since it is still under warranty. They are standing behind they product and will resolve this for me.As for your assessment, this cable arrangement worked with each CD i tried. Perhaps Mgleen is correct in ... 
Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
Mglenn, thanks for the support. I'd like to open the discussion back to this cable discovery. I wonder why this is not discussed more frequently amongst users, in utilizing both XLR and RCA at the same time, if results like this can be achieved. I... 
Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
Well, this investigation has taken a turn for the worse. I decided to remove the Synergistic RCA's from te amp and turn the ground switch to 'normal'. After i turned my equipment back on from the cable change, i lost sound out of the left chennel.... 
Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
Milpai,At this point, i would have definitely said good quality RCA's are the way to go in my system if i could only run one type. The XLR's just did not have the the same sonic vibrancy/detail/depth. The initial increase in gain, actually seemed ... 
Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
Almarg,The positioning of the switch is on 'balanced'. But, this does not make a difference in sound level/quality if i were to put it on 'unbalanced' as long as both connection types are in.The ground switch is currently on 'lift'. I have not tri... 
HDMI or 7.1 out for best AQ
What does anyone suggest for cable type/manuf. for those of us taking the 5.1/7.1 analog route? What have you had luck with? digital coax (ala Sterovox for example)? Analog interconnects? Is quality just as important here between an Oppo BDP-83 an... 
B&W LCR600 centre channel with Arcam AVR300
Richard, You have a very similar setup to my system, utilizing an AVR300 myself, along with B&W 604s3 for my mains, B&W CM2 for my surrounds, B&W CMC for a center channel and a Von Schweikert subwoofer. My source includes a low level M... 
ARCAM: is it me or is it a bit compressed?
have you tried bi-amping the speakers using the AVR300? Definitely adds more to the output 
any audiophiles or audio enthusiasts in BUFFALO NY
Gman,I'm from Rochester and travel to you're city alot. What kind of system do you own? What kind of music do you have? I'm a poor newbie myself and am always looking for different systems to listen to so I can better understand what to hear for/d... 
Can I bi amp my B & W 603 S3 speakers with an
Jwmichman, sorry for the delayed response. stereo direct does 2-channel mode on the AVR300 and its supposed to isolate the digital circuitry to provide a cleaner line to the CDP. THe Kimber 1030's are between the AVR300 and the CDP. I actually had... 
A bit confused, Dynaudio 1.3SE power, music and HT
I have an Arcam AVR300 that is bi-amping my B&W 604s3 mains. I have an Arcam CD36 source CDP. The AVR300 does a good job to drive these speakers, which are power hungry. I know because as i was driving them in just bi-wire mode i was hearing u... 
Can I bi amp my B & W 603 S3 speakers with an
I am bi-amping my Arcam AVR300 using channels 6&7 under "advanced settings" for my B&w 604s3's with a considerable difference in performance. Stereo Direct in 2 channel mode to my Arcam CD36 CDP with Kimber 1030 IC is a terrific way to get...
