ATC P1 Pro amp vs. Parasound JC-5 amp
After giving it more thought I'm starting to think kota1 and urbie have the best suggestions. Room treatment and/or a bigger room. In my mid-60s now this will probably be the house I live in for the rest of my life. The only way I can get a bigger... 
ATC P1 Pro amp vs. Parasound JC-5 amp
Thanks for all the responses and I apologize for the delay in getting back with you. Besides the P150 pro amp I have the following in my system: Violetric V281 preamp/headphone amp Usher Dancer Mini-X DMD speakers on sound anchor stands Gustard... 
When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better?
I've considered that at some point I would upgrade from my $3,500 ATC P1 Pro amp to a $6,500 Parasound JC-5 amp. To me both of these are in the sweet spot of their price range. I can't imagine spending more in my 9 ft by 12 ft listening room. I im... 
Aerial 5T impressions
Okay thank you very much  
Aerial 5T impressions
Did you have other speakers in your system prior to the 5T's, if yes what were they please? Also how big is your room and how close are your speakers to the rear wall? Thanks  
Aerial 5T impressions
I know this thread has been inactive for a few years but it seems the 5T is still a current model. I'm curious if anyone has ever listened to the 5T and also listened to the Usher Dancer Mini-X DMD. That's what I'm using now in a 9 ft by 12 ft roo... 
Brass versus copper binding posts
Thanks again for all the help everybody. I contacted Usher in Taiwan and they emailed me that yes the binding posts are brass. The ETI items shown above were actually my first choice. I use their XLR connectors from the same family on my interconn... 
Canton Reference 9k opinions
Thanks for the responses. To be honest I forgot about this thread and have been just listening to my Ushers and been pretty happy. If I could find a pre-owned pair of 9K's I would jump at the chance but they don't seem to come up very often. They ... 
Magico A1 vs KEF Reference 1 (META) vs KEF LS50 + KEF KC62
Since the last postings here Kef has announced the Reference 1 Meta speaker. I hope when someone gets a chance to listen to a set they would post their opinions here  
Opinions of Onkyo P-3000R phono preamp
Thanks for the input. If I go tubed maybe I should consider the Prima Luna preamp in addition to the AR. I think the one that has balanced connections is the Evo 400  
Opinions of Onkyo P-3000R phono preamp
Thanks for the responses. I agree that a better preamp would be a good idea. I have been using a Violectric V281 as both headphone amp and preamp to my stereo rig. I recently purchased a Gustard A22 Dac here on Audiogon that can function as a prea... 
Opinions of Onkyo P-3000R phono preamp
Actually I listen to my flac files bit perfect over USB on-the-go from my Android device. I also listen to what Amazon calls Ultra HD files the same way. I have done this using the dac in the P-3000R, Topping D90 with akm chip, Bel Ccanto DAC 2.7,... 
Dust cover for my dust cover?
Okay thanks I'll check them out  
Better than Usher Dancer Mini-X DMD?
Sorry rb, it was only today I noticed your response to my post. Thanks for your input. From what I can tell it would be well worth the effort to replace the internal wiring and silver solder them in rather than using the push on connectors. I thin... 
Can a Mini-XLR digital cable be true 110 ohm?
I knew this question posed a condition that was a niche within a niche. Got my nerve up to try it again. Worst thing I could do was ruin another $20 connector. This time with some magnification and some good advice my soldering succeeded. And whil...
