Parasound halo JC2 what a joke
Wow, looks like this has turned into Parasound bashing thread. Agreed with Dragon1952. Not just because I own Parasound and been happy with the product, but because this can happen to may a high end and boutique firms. Lets not forget the recent l...

Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?

Building a new room
I have decided to go with a single dedicated 20 amp line (10 gauge) with a single outlet (duplex). I will connect my Brickwall into one port and the amp into another. Will do a comparison and then finalize. I plan to go with either the Furutech GT...
