Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
Everygrey,Hope you have got the amp back by now. How do you like the sound now? 
Parasound A21
With the new speakers you have the A21 may be the weak link and you are right there. In my system the A21 is awesome and the JC1s would have been an overkill. I have read a review on the A21 where the professional reviewer does mention that the A2... 
Parasound A21
Does your CDP have Balanced outs? My CDP does not, but my preamp is "truly balanced". So I wonder if having a "balanced" connection between my preamp and A21 will make any difference at all in my system. Thanks for letting us know about the improv...

Don't have any of them, but looks like you made a good choice for the money, as this player is focused on audio. Here is the review:http://www.whathifi.com/review/Pioneer-PD-D6-J/enjoy and keep us posted on how you like the player. Good Luck. 
What Cables for Quad 11-12-21-22 ?Tubes Anyone?

The Raven SACDs
Thanks Rwwear. Do you know of any difference in the quality in the sound between the two - if any? 
New Marantz SA11S2?
Photon46,I suspect that the Bent TVC might not be matching in Mr. Tennis's system. But he is a reviewer and he hears perfectly than any one of us. So what you say about the Marantz is not valid :-))) 
New Marantz SA11S2?
Hey guys, don't you know Mr. Tennis is a reviewer? His hearing is much better than any one of us. We are all supposed to have flaw in our hearing. Only he has perfect hearing. The only problem is he reviews gear while playing tennis :-)))))))) 
Music sounds natural when player kept powered on
Mrtennis,Just to make it clear - it is my experience that I am describing. I don't have to do any experiments or prove anything to any one.Yes, I understand that I might have acute hearing while you maybe making an erroneous perception. But nobody... 
Music sounds natural when player kept powered on
Montejay,Thanks for the link and confirming that there are no ill-effects to leaving the unit powered on. Isn't it divine when the music sounds so natural? Sometimes I keep wondering what benefits I would achieve by upgrading to the Marantz SA-11S... 
Who has found happiness giving up cd player?
After working with the computer all day, I feel happy to fire up my CDP at the end of the day.
