| Something wrong with the Studio 100 v.2? The 100s take a lot of power to sound good, and in your dealer's set up the amp should have enough juice for them. I also think the pre amp is a fine one, and wire is satisfatory. Therefore I only have 3 conclusions: 1) the room set up is poor 2) ... | |
| new Paradigm Reference? I've always been a fan of Paradigm, and think they make great stuff. I think they know it too; I just hope they don't get a big head and throw out an over priced speaker to give themselves that elite look. From what I've read/seen about the new li... | |
| Equipment fetish The cur efor me was to run out of money to spend. Now I must live through others' purchases by reading reviews while I slowly save for my next upgrade. Wish they could make a vaccine for this. | |
| To add DAC or replace CDP? Seems you have a fine transport, and get an additional benefit of 2 channel sacd, so I wouldn't replace the whole unit. A DAC might be a wise place to put your $$...if a mod doesn't float yer boat. Check the thread, Best DAC for under $2000. Bel C... | |
| Anybody hear of Jack Johnson? Just bought Jack's CD. Here is another case of mp3s causing me to buy a cd...Great CD, and very well recorded. I'd use it as a reference CD anyday. | |
| paradigm studio 100's VS paradigm monitor 11's v.2 I agree the Studio 100s will sound better than the 11s, however without enough juice, you will not be happy with the 100s. I know Yamaha rather well, but not the v800 specifically and can honestly recommend you try that reciever with the 100s befo... | |
| Plinius 8200 MkII and Paradigm Studio 100 v2? Have not heard the Plinius, but I use a 200 watt/ch amp and feel that I have power to spare. The 100s do need some juice, but would bet 175 watts of Plinius would be enough. | |
| Power Cords with built in RF reduction? Check out the new PSAudio Power Cords. I can't speak as to how they sound, but have an interesting design. | |
| Cowboy Junkies I'm a little embarassed by it but its true; I first heard Margo Timmons and her crew while watching Miami Vice...MisGuided Angel I believe, and owned the cd the next day. Miami Vice was cool back in the day...wasn't it? :/ | |
| Best used dac under $2000 I read the Bel Canto has jitter reduction circuitry built in; I have also read using multiple jitter reducing devices can be beneficial, however as we all know, creating a long chain in a signal path is not necessarily a good idea. So, if using th... | |
| Best used dac under $2000 Wow Rhyno...claming your DAC will "kill any of the aforementioned dacs..." and to say the only good wine comes from CA or France is pretty one sided. Especially when the DACs mentioned here are some of the best designed and built pieces in the aud... | |
| Best used dac under $2000 Since I seemed to have offended a couple people here, I wanted to take a minute to point out 2 things: A) I never advocated a boycott of anyone or anything. I made a personal choice. A courtesy Chirac did not extend to the petitioning members of E... | |
| Best used dac under $2000 Would you guys check my thread and leave some advice:"How much to spend on a cd changer as a transport"And Princess Bride is a classic!!!! | |
| Best used dac under $2000 VooDoo: Is the upsampling always on, or can it be turned off?Jon: I am pro war with Iraq AND N Korea, but at the appropriate time, anti Bush (I am a McCain fan all the way) and anti France AFTER hearing the comments they made to other European nat... | |
| ICs and Cables to match Paradigm Studio 100 v2s I also have a SF Line 1 , Anthem Amp 2 and Studio 100s v.1 and have been very happy with Analysis Plus Oval 9. I am also using TransParent ICs. I have not done enough real world comparisons between other cables, but am a big believer in AP...I fee... |
