| transistor pre with the sound of tubes Parasound P6 is lovely, and has a very clean audio chain as well as RCA and XLR balanced outs. Bonus - $1600 not to bad of an investment if you later decide to spend more. Parasound Halo JC 2 Is a higher end pre at $4500whar are the speakers? | |
| What is better, analog or digital? What is the make and model of your cartridge?Shape of stylus, condition of the record, mastering situation, quality of raw vinyl, and how many presses from each child. How clean is the record?OTOH, I just caught a couple hours of some great Bob Ja... | |
| Favorite obsolete formats..... At times I miss my Nakamichi cassette - it’s gone as of around ‘89... I have an ADS that just began eating tapes. Also have a Tandberg R-R that needs an overhaul - but I have no real library to play, and will not waste my older years in recording ... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer Too many permutations here to have a valid discussion. For example, a bi-amped system with electronic XOs allows for a dedicated amp to control the bass driver and not need as much passive XO at the speaker level. Then there is amp design, driver ... | |
| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree Nakamichi took a questionable format into a famous one. Selling my LX7 was the worst move I ever made in audio. Sold it to a tech that worked on them, so he knew what he was doing. | |
| Intimate, warm and holographic alternative Find a speaker you love (BS, floor, stand). Give it a good run through with your favorite tracks. Then get a Rel subwoofer, spend a little time blending it in. You will get the best mid-bass and low bass. If you have high pass options on your main... | |
| MQA is for chumps Fuzz”Well and good except for the MQA has your money in the form of the license fee. They have mine too and I’ve never even tried it, even during a crappy Tidal trial.”Same here. Doing a Deezer trial now - so far so good. Should be interesting to ... | |
| Looking for a turntable around $1k... As a Rega Planar 3 (newest revision) owner,I’m settled for now. The spacer recommendation I saw earlier is likely required for many carts. An Ortofon 2M Re is not a good recommendation however. Look at a a 2M Bronze (better engine and superior st... | |
| Have I got the wrong amp? or the wrong speakers? With 88dB efficiency, and an older Akai, I’m guessing you are clipping, or at least driving high distortion. Maybe a new Integrated Amp?Take a look at Parasound’s options.A good, smooth amp with those speakers would be nice. Also, take a look at a... | |
| KEF reference line revamp ?? My *old* Kef Reference 3.3s still blow me away (with a Rel sub). Had them since around ‘80. A pair of Q150s for rear surrounds. | |
| Which amplifier should i buy Take a listen here before you jump into huge mono-tubed heaters 😜😂😂Parasound Halo JC 1 PlusI get the tube romance, as every guitar amp I own is all-tune. | |
| Reccomend a good preamp for me. Take a look at Parasound JC 2 (now including HT bypass). | |
| MHDT Labs Orchid DAC review Nice review. Most DACs will outperform the stock Node 2i. The ESS in my Parasound P6 (optical or coax) does a decent job, and easily sounds better then Node 2i. The charm of the Node is the simplicity and with some limitations, the app interface. ... | |
| Gripped By Upgrade Fever Sounds like the addition of a well-crossed over subwoofer would add to the LS50 impression. I’ve had one or another form of biamplification since I can remember. I love the Kef sound, sold many in the past, and would replace my existing, aging Kef... |
