| Anything you can put between spikes and carpet? I have a thick granite slab under my speakers, and it made a good difference, because the speakers were more stable. I also use Herbie audio's Extra Thick Hush Puckies between the spikes and the granite. | |
| Audio Sensibility vs. Signal Cable speaker cable Sunnyjim,Did you try the Audio Sensibility cables yet? I am wondering if the OCC material makes a big difference. | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? As an update, I found out from Parasound that the JC-2 BP which I had as a loaner had a faulty board and so had a 8db extra gain. Apparently, it also affects the sound quality.The dealer will get this corrected and I plan to audition it again in m... | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? Chayro/Rsf507,I guess you guys are right. IF I did not experience a "jump" in performance, I would rather trust my ears than the reviews.I did get couple of emails from several TVC owners who feel that TVCs, in the right system, are very hard to b... | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? Just as a fyi, this is a JC-2 BP. After your suggestion, I kept the unit warmed up for several hours and did some critical listening again. I did find that the dynamics were a tad bit sharper than my TVC - but I am really "trying" very hard to fin... | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? JC-2 is now in house. Did a brief comparing this morning. I am somehow feeling that my TVC is more transparent than the JC-2. The JC-2 seemed "louder" and I cannot go past 9 O'clock position for my normal listening position. At that position, it i... | |
| Good inexpensive temporary speakers You are going to invest a good amount of money in your permanent setup. So why do you want to invest a ton of money for your temporary speakers? Have you tried listening to the Pioneer SP-BS22-LR? Their only flaw is their price. I know that they a... | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? Sdcampbell,Thank You for the suggestion. But the BP17 does not have XLR in. I want that for my future "source" purchases.Zd542,I did not think of connecting an inexpensive line stage to the TVC before. Thank you for suggesting that. Yeah, I do lov... | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? Thanks folks. I did listento the JC-2 in the dealers system. The system as a whole sounded nice.....but that did not mean much to me, since I do not know that system. One thing I am not sure about the JC-2 is - would it be as clean as my TVC? I ha... | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? I will not be selling my TVC. It is a awesome piece of gear. Nick had put in the Elma switches, stuffed with cotton, etc. It really is transparent.Most review of the JC-2 are glowing and I plan to audition it in a day or 2 at the local dealer. If ... | |
| What happened with the SACD format? Did you not check other threads about "SACD dying" before posting this one? | |
| Room Treatment Surprise Rlb61,Good for you. How about posting some room pics in your system page? | |
| tube vs SS preamp Thank You for explaining folks. I have NEVER been in the tubeland. At this point I am seriously considering upgrading my preamp to the Parasound JC-2, because my amp is also Parasoud, and I have heard nothing but good stuff about the combo.But for... | |
| tube vs SS preamp Schubert,Can you please explain what that means? I do not know much about tubes - honest. In a tubed preamp - how long do the tubes last? What is required for maintenance?Thanks! | |
| Top brand speakers Metralla,That was really hilarious. We all should be using more "I".:-))))) |
