| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 @eldonfung Well, still staying at the crossroad between H360 and PM10......After looking at the specs and reviews of the new PM10, I can see why it would be a real contender in your choice of amps. Judging from other reviews and recommendations of... | |
| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 @jakebenton Glad to hear your new A3s came in and are working so well with the Hegel. With all of the good reports, recommendations and overall character and qualities of the Hegel H360, it seems that it would be a sound choice to pair with the A3... | |
| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 @jakebenton I think this is a hobby and I’ll never understand why people like you try to take the fun out of it for everyone else.Your whole response to sinewaveron was well put.You'll soon learn, there are a few on here who never miss an opportu... | |
| New Adcom 👀585 SE. anybody heard this monster @blueskiespbd Nothing at all against the Adcoms. I have a Adcom GFA - 5500, as my back up amp and it has served me very well and I’m always amazed at how well it sounds and performs, when compared to other much more expensive amps. I think you wou... | |
| New Adcom 👀585 SE. anybody heard this monster I agree with auxinput regarding the Bryston or Parasound monos. As stated - running brigged stereo is self defeating when driving low ohm speaker loads. I believe that either the Bryston, 7Bsst monos @ 600/900 W or the Parasound, JC1 monos @ 400/8... | |
| Pass Labs vs Mark Levinson vs Parasound - best 2 channel amp used under $2,500? I’ll 3rd the Bryston. You can pick up a used 4BSST for around $2,000.00or a 4BSST2 for around $2,500.00. If you can find used from a dealer, either would still have the remainder of it’s 20 year warranty. Not only are the Brystons incredible sound... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES @tattooedtrackman I don't believe that a CDP necessarily needs to be on a completely dedicated circuit, but would avoid sharing a circuit with appliances or even a high currant power amp. Because good conductivity and tight connections is importa... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES @geoffkait My impression is most naysayers couldn’t care less about the item under debate.Not necessarily. The OP asked for help and advice; if some of the advice is false and it might cost them, unnecessarily, a good amount of extra money, the O... | |
| Spay for CD @sisyphus51 Dumb question?Why is anyone (still) spending large sums of money on Compact Disc.And, why are we (still) debating snake oil treatments to make them tolerable?Pretty much the same reason so many audiophiles still have a love for vinyl a... | |
| Spay for CD What I found to work best for me to clean, polish and remove static and fine scratches, on both CDs and DVDs, is a light spray of my Martin Guitar polish, wiped dry to a polish on the data side of the disc. I discovered this when we got some DVDs ... | |
| What makes a speaker sound great at low volume? Mid base is great with my 1.7s, even at low volume, but do need to run a sub to get any impact below 50 Hz. Setting the filter on the sub down to 50 or 60 Hz and getting the volume and polarity right, makes a good and seamless interface with the M... | |
| What makes a speaker sound great at low volume? I agree with what some others have said regarding the Quads and Maggies. My first love of speakers was my Quad ESL63s. Even at low volumes, they captured the width, depth and detail of a performance, without leaving your head numb. After many year... | |
| Power Cables @dmance I think there might just be a lot of truth in all of that....Jim | |
| Power Cables Considering you can get everything you need to build a custom 2m, highly conductive, heavy duty power cable, including high grade, 10g or 8g pure copper, insulated cable and quality silver or gold plated ends, for about $45.00, from any of several... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES @tattooedtrackman As long as there is already a circuit available where you need it and that circuit doesn't have other devices or appliances plugged into it, why create another circuit. Every circuit in your house is tied into the same ground an... |
