Compare Parasound 2100 vs. Parasound P3 preamps
Thanks, Bizango1. Richard at ext. 13 in Parasound tech support indicated that the P3 was developed in 2000-01 while the 2100 was developed more recently. Therefore the 2100 is a much better preamp, phono section and all, than the P3.

Rogue Magnum M-120 Loses Volume at Power Up
A technician found the solder joints on a socket of an input tube was the culprit. He resoldered all the solder joints and the amp is working again. 
Rogue Magnum M-120 Loses Volume at Power Up
I do not want to violate any Audiogon rules but is it appropriate to ask on the this forum for recommendations on local repair service facilities? Rogue Audio is in PA which is going to be very costly to ship the amps. If it is not appropriate to ... 
Audible Illusions Modulus 3 and Rogue M-120 Okay?
A local Audiogon seller let me try out his Audible Illusions L2. The match was quite good, however, the background hissing from the preamp was so prominent through the speakers - even when playing music at normal easy listening levels. You have to... 
Does AudioResearch 150.2 need service
I owned an ARC 100.2 and experienced what you are experiencing now with the popping noise from the speakers. I never looked in the case to see any arching. The guys at ARC said that slight popping is normal. Since I could not stand the sound each ... 
Using McCormack DNA-0.5 Deluxe as Mono Amps
Ig316bI have not thought of using two DNA-1 Deluxe amps. I might just try it in the future.I have read owners' comments about their preferences. I tried both passive and buffered outputs and I have to admit that both outputs sounded good to me. Cu... 
Using McCormack DNA-0.5 Deluxe as Mono Amps
I ended up acquiring a DNA-1 Deluxe through Audiogon. Hooked it up to my TLC-1, DAC-1, and SST-1 transport. The DNA-1 Deluxe is larger in life than in the photos. It weighs a ton too. Alternating between B&W 803S and Energy Veritas V2.4 speake... 
Does McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe Take Banana Plugs?
I finally acquired a DNA-1 Deluxe through Audiogon. Hooked it up to my TLC-1, DAC-1, and SST-1 transport. The DNA-1 is larger in life than in the photos. It weighs a ton too. Alternating between B&W 803S and Energy Veritas V2.4 speakers using ... 
Is Solid State Preamp and Tube Amp A Good Combo?
I cannot thank you all enough for all the feedback you have given so far. I just went ahead and paid for them. This would be an interesting quest for me. If they do not work for me, there is always the Audiogon market or might also give tube pream... 
Does McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe Take Banana Plugs?
Thank you!I have seen several photos of the amp's back side online and saw the Cardas binding posts with holes in them. But I was not sure. Also, I have obtained a PDF copy of the owners manual for the DNA-1. The manual does not state "Deluxe". Is... 
McCormack TLC-1 Output Jacks
OMG, I never would have thought I would correspond with the one and only Steve McCormack! I bow to you!I am in the process of acquiring a DNA-1 (non Deluxe version) to go with my TLC-1, SST-1, and DAC-1, and hopefully I could come to terms with th... 
Bryston BP-25 BP25 or Classe 47.5?
Thanks for your input. I am inclined on getting the Bryston BP-25, especially for its warranty. 
Uneven Temperature of 2-channel Parasound A23 Amp
Thanks for your input. First off, is this something that needs attention at all? Could adjustnent of bias on a solid state piece of equipment be done by a casual user? On a lighter note, I see that you have a pretty nice system setup. That is cool!
