| Who is using passive preamps and why? Passives (I am referring to TVCs) are amazing if you have the correct system matching. I am always surprised to hear wimpy and anemic associated with Passive preamps. Either I have a very good system match or people have not heard Passives with R-... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES owners question Coxhaus,I was looking into "fully balanced" while searching for an amp. I doubt the Sony is fully balanced. My Parasound A21 has balanced connection, but it is not "fully balanced". Units cost almost twice for fully balanced configs.Also you are r... | |
| Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21 Thanks again guys. I would start with the AC Main fuse first then. | |
| Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21 Thanks Len and Rodman99999.Roadman99999, I like your idea of first replacing the AC Main fuse first.BTW, what differences did the fuses make in your systems? | |
| Integrated Amp for Quad 21L I had used a NAD C352 with my Quad 21L. It was a good combination. But since I have upgraded to a more powerful amp, I feel the Quads can really do better with more power. Suggest you to look into NAD's top-end integrated, rather than middle line.... | |
| Upgrade from Quad 11L? Once a Quad, always a Quad.Only a Quad can replace a Quad.The magic of Quads.Just kidding but loving my Quads. | |
| Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR Evergrey,Was your issue resolved? What reply did you get from Parasound?Mglenn,I believe that the A21 is not a "true" balanced design and so you are able to listen to some music when the switch (balanced/unbalanced) is in wrong position. But some ... | |
| NAD vs. Cambridge Audio NAD is great value and makes amazing music. Highly recommended. Never heard Cambridge. | |
| Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR Having got this amp over the weekend, I am more than eager to know what Evergrey found out and which was better (RCA or XLR)? Some people claim that RCA is more musical than XLR. To them XLR seems more clinical. | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Has anyone compared the Marantz SA-11S2 to the Sony? In future I was thinking about replacing my existing Marantz with the SA-11S2, as it would benefit my passive preamp more than the Sony. The Marantz outputs twice the voltage thru XLRs compared ... | |
| Hegel Amplifiers I purchased a Parasound A21. The Hegel H20 may have been better - who knows. But it costs a lot of money and I would have been the first person in the US to get it. Maybe I will have a chance to upgrade to Hegel some years down the line. In the me... | |
| Class D amps,bang for your buck ones The Wyred are a bit more forward with better LF control to my ears and the MC352 is smoother.Trinculo,Does it mean that the W4S sound loser to the Rotel amplifiers when it comes to Trebal/mid-range? Are they more analytical? | |
| Hegel Amplifiers I understand from the Hegel site that the H20 is also 200W/channel. The H10 is 300W/channel and is a special edition. | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Reference Recordings also had the same take on SACD couple of years back, but got into SACD eventually. I guess Creek will find some "reason" to get into SACD someday. | |
| Hegel Amplifiers The new amp (whichever I get) will be used to drive my Quad 21L speakers. Please note that I am really not targeting high power. I want more "headroom" as they say. Should make the speakers sing with "ease" at low levels without affecting the musi... |
