| Classe CA-M600 vs Parasound JC-1 I've compared the Classe CA-2300 (300W x 2) to the JC-1s and ended up buying the JC-1. The Classe is a very nice amp, but I found it a bit thin in direct comparison to the JC-1s.The big Parasounds just had more of everything that I was looking for... | |
| bryston 28b sst2 or levinson 532H Levinson is a safe bet with Revels. | |
| Please, recommend me I'd choose the Pass. | |
| PS Audio PWD MKII HiFi Tuning fuse direction "Electrons don't carry the signal so I suspect we can probably rule that particular theory out. In fact, electrons in the conductor are kind of just sitting there, drifting along at a couple centimeters a minute. "With all due respect, you don't k... | |
| PS Audio PWD MKII HiFi Tuning fuse direction It doesn't make a difference in cables or fuses. Electrons do not care what arrow direction a manufacturer may put on a label. | |

| Oppo 95 vs. Mac Mini + dac I vote for option 3. | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 or ARC VS115 is better I'd choose Pass. | |
| Best 2 ch. Amp, for music, under $1k used Another vote for McCormack amplifiers. | |
| Are marantz ma500 monoblocks better than an adcom? I'm not saying the MA500's are bad, they aren't. They were very good for their price point, however so is your Adcom from what I remember.If you bi-amp then I suspect you will see an improvement. You should also try bridging a pair of the MA500's ... | |
| Are marantz ma500 monoblocks better than an adcom? I've owned MA500's and I doubt they will be a big improvement over your Adcom.If they are local, give them a try and hear for yourself, maybe you'll like them. | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? Make sure the JC1's you audition are well broken in. They have a notoriously long break-in period. |
