| 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... | |
| Stirring Up Trouble Awesome discussion all. Yes, I read it all and was entertained as well as provoked to pull out my Watts collection and revisit. I will listen on my 40-something year old speakers, cables and Monster interconnects. | |
| For a few dollars more MC, love the old Clint Eastwood references 😜😂😂Are you feeling lucky? | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Some old vinyl is just that... poor mastering, poor recording process, and worse, too many pressings per... I have a few direct disks that stun me regularly with their presence, detail, and sheer impact. My secondary-favs are some digital recordin... | |
| Qutest + Node 2i coax issue Definitely worth the setup time. I have a N2i and a Vault 2i also. Both coax and optical work well with my Parasound’s DAC with either coax or optical. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Back in ‘77, I home-auditioned a small pair of KLH speakers. They had a promo where they sent you home also with a Sheffield Lab record (SL13/KLH)It was Amanda McBroom vocals with Lincoln Mayorga, Doug Sax and that crew Stunning all around. | |
| Amplifier brand/designer with the most unique and consistent “house sound?” John Curl Parasound gear. Anyone here have a rake on this? | |
| Someone please talk me out of this I second the Rel idea. I have a singe T9i with an *old* pair of Kef reference 103.3 (missing the cube that died a while back). Nice and clean, forward but smooth mids, decent mid bass. I know that can find upgrades speakers in my mid-fi/mid-budget... | |
| The Most "Analog" CD Player? Good one!seems like the comments jest jumped to discussing better CD 💿 players 😜😂😂😂 | |
| Had an epiphany, what would happen when all of you die? Interesting thread here. I like the Watts sub-thread ;-) |
