| "Amplifier Noise Floor" and hum acceptable? It's not acceptable to hear hum thru the speakers from your amp. It's possible that it's the grounding scheme of the Parasound, but before returning it, you need to check the grounding of your Hubbell duplex.Pull the receptacle from the wall. Is t... | |
| Are you troubled by the imaging of a symphony orchestra? +1 @melm My memory of sitting many rows back I still seemed to be aware of section placement. Especially watching the conductor as they notify cues all around. This is why I like mid hall seating. I hear the proper placement of instruments, yet th... | |

| Are you troubled by the imaging of a symphony orchestra? The SQ is good but it is troublesome the not hear the violin section on the left, the violas and celli on the right, etc. Are you referring to older recordings where minimal mic's don't pick up the instruments evenly? There were the three mic reco... | |
| Are you troubled by the imaging of a symphony orchestra? Some labels get imaging right; Decca, Philips, Chandos, RCA Red Seal, to name a few. Telarc, excellent sonics but has the 2/3 back seating and an unnatural hall ambience (but I kind of like it). DG does not get it, with it’s overmic’d unrealistic ... | |

| Blue Jean/Belden LC 1 I find Canare cables to present excellent SQ. I installed Canare 4S11 speaker cables temporarily while I sold my Purist Audio and after the break-in period I found no reason to replace them. | |
| New to streaming, looking for a budget streamer @mesch Sorry to hear this. I hope you recover soon. | |
| Blue Jean/Belden LC 1 Direction: you should be able to read the printing on the BJ cable jacket. Plug in from source to destination. | |

| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? I use a Bluesound Node and subscribe to Qobuz. Very good quality, but my CD setup beats it. My Node2i only cost $500 whereas DAC and transport is in the thousands.I really enjoy streaming, the only downside is the streaming service decides which v... | |
| Tube amplifier upgrade suggestions welcome. shawn, the seller seems to have provided good CU pics of the amp. It’s very clean and he states it’s only 3 years old. Not much wear happens in that short amount of time except for tube life.The questions I have are answered on the Music Reference... | |
| Tube amplifier upgrade suggestions welcome. Of course you can keep this thread going. I'll second Jolida, aka Black Ice as a possible amp for you.I recommend you message the seller of the RM-10 and make inquiries, he's the original owner. Ask to see more pics. I expect this amp to sell qui... | |
| Blue Jean/Belden LC 1 The BJ IC's have good shielding. Give the LC-1 some break-in time, not on the phono but connect it to a line source and play music for a day. The BJ cable should not colour the sound, it's a neutral sonic signature. It's extended at the top-end, I... |
