| The most holographic Power Cord Barto...your statement pretty much wraps up the delusion..."20+ years experience with power cables that did not make it good, which tells me you haven't tried in your system"How on earth would me telling you that they made no difference in 20+ yea... | |
| The most holographic Power Cord If you find a "holographic power cord", make sure you nominate the designer for a Nobel prize since they can defy physics.In fact, all of you spending thousands on these miraculous power cords should do the same for your respective manufacturers.O... | |
| I'm in a preamp pickle: ARC Ref 1 VS CJ 17LS jmcgrogan...maybe you should re-read the Subject of the post.It asked for opinions between the Ref1 and 17LS. I stated previous ownership of one, asked questions about why he is changing, as well as provided questions that would help him choose th... | |
| I'm in a preamp pickle: ARC Ref 1 VS CJ 17LS The things I read on this forum are absolutely comical.First of all, Jmrgrogan2, I guarantee you didn't look up the input impedance of his amp BEFORE I said anything. If you did, anyone knowledgeable about the 17LS would have still made the commen... | |
| I'm in a preamp pickle: ARC Ref 1 VS CJ 17LS I've owned the CJ17ls and pretty familiar with most ARC gear.Most people giving you advice aren't really knowledgeable about what they are saying.Here's the first and PRIMARY questions to ask if you are considering the 17LS:1. Will you be running ... | |
| My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA I can't believe people are still wasting time bad mouthing under $1k amps compared with all the snake oil and over-priced products in this hobby.XPA amps were measured by a third party who does this for a living and doesn't live in the snake oil d... | |
| McIntosh MC-275, MX-110 preamp and La Scala's?? With a Shanling CDP, I suspect any amp that adds more "pleasant" distortion will be preferred over a more neutral and accurate amp.The sibilance from a Shanling digital product is just plain bad in my experience, and it will sabotage any objective... | |
| My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA I don't doubt you might prefer a Parasound product to Emotiva. I mentioned that Parasound was one of the best bang for the buck brands out there. However, did the products you compared sell for the same price?What find surprising is how many threa... | |
| My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA I use a couple Emotiva amps and, if you look at my systems, it's not because money is an object.Granted...I use one of their big amps for just low frequency drivers on my Wisdom speakers and another Emotiva for just rear channels in my HT. However... | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Dayglow - I noticed you didn't mention whether you have ever heard or A/B'd an Emotiva product, which I pretty much knew you would avoid answering.It's pointless to use logic and rational arguments on someone who is talking with ZERO experience in... | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Dayglow - I have heard Conrad Johnson's and even owned several of their preamps. Their stuff is well-engineered and another brand I would put in the class with my McIntosh and upgraded McCormacks. It would be fine to buy a USED one, but where are ... | |
| The Emotiva Challenge It's comical reading the criticisms of Emotiva based on "cheap quality".I'm willing to bet these people have never opened the hood on these $50k amplifiers and noted parts that are no better (or marginally better to the tune of maybe an extra $1k ... | |
| Emotiva UMC-200 vs Primare SP31? I have a UMC200 for my second HT setup. It's not exactly the most feature rich and input/output friendly processor, but if SQ is your primary concern...it's actually quite good.Most processors have tons of features and inputs/outputs that never ge... | |
| SMC McCormack or Vincent Pwr Amp I have 2 platinum+ modded DNA.5 (one is stereo and one is converted to a monoblock).There really is no weakness in these amps except with 2 caveats...1. If your speakers require more power than whatever version of McCormack you buy. Amp purchases ... | |
| Passive preamp w/Rogue Medusa and Rega DAC Why wouldn't you just upgrade your dac to something like the Benchmark DAC 2 which can be run direct into your amp.Personally, I think your DAC is the weakest link by far...especially if you consider how much more the DAC impacts the sound.I'm not... |
