BAT vk-3ix and Parasound Halo A21 match?
Zd542,My passive unit is a dual mono TVC that is completely balanced. My source is a Marantz SA8260 SACD player with RCA outs. The CDP outputs 2.2V whereas the A21 has a sensitivity of 1V for full output. Even with the RCAs in place from TVC to A2... 
BAT vk-3ix and Parasound Halo A21 match?
I have no experience with impedance matching. But from a very recent experience, if you buy the A21, try to make use of the XLR instead of RCA. It made a HUGE difference, with my passive preamp. Good luck. 
Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
Ja2austintx/Xti16,Thank You for explaining. Please note that my current CDP only has RCA and that is how it is connected to the TVC.I was under the impression that for TVC, there is no real gain, as it does not have electricity input. I think a TV... 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
Ok Peterayer, I get your point now. Thanks. But lets hope that they don't suddenly start charging $2500 for the wave radios :-) 
balanced vs. unbalanced sound quality
Coming back to this old thread where I once posted, with specific answers to the Parasound A21 amp. Here it is:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1264134945&openfrom&23&4#23 
Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
ALRIGHT - received the XLRs, installed in the system and finally got the answer I was looking for. Without keeping you guy waiting, here it is - JUST GO for XLR.Did not take more than 15-20 seconds to realize this with 2 CDs I used - Famous Blue R...

Yes, waiting for reviews/feedback from owners with "regular electronics" rather than $$$$$ electronics. 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
Peterayer,I would differ from your point of view on qol's purpose of mid-to-low-fi environments. We will have to define this "mid/low-fi". What may seem "hi-fi" to me, may be "low-fi" by your standards. The reason being "affordability".At the same...

I have had the exact opposite at The Analog Room in SF Bayarea and Xtend Technologies in Cleveland.Brian at The Analog room not only entertained my request to hear the Avalons, despite knowing my speaker budget was upto $2K, but also suggested "ho...

Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
Re-opening an older thread. I have ordered a pair of XLR cables to go between my preamp and the A21. Of course, they are Signal Cable Silver Resolutions.Very keen on knowing what others have experienced when they switched from RCA to XLR on the A21. 
Adding amp to integrated amp
Since you plan to use your integrated amp's pre-amp section, the answer for your last question is YES.I cannot answer if your MH preamp is better or power amp section is better. Previous owners or that amp who have experimented can answer that. Or... 
FCC reviewing HD radio power increase bid
