| VTL 450 or Parasound JC-1 Kurt_tank,You haven't read any glowing reviews on the JC-1's???Are you living under a rock??? :)I went from Manley Neo-Classic 250's to JC-1's. While I loved my Manley's dearly, I could never go back. I know they are not VTL 450's, but sonically, ... | |
| More on the VR4seIII I initially ran my VR4's with an Aragon 8008bb on the bottom and Manley Neo-Classic 250 monoblock tube amps on the top. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO BI-AMP THESE SPEAKERS!I now run them with Parasound Halo JC-1's (bi-wired) and an ARC LS25 mk1 with XLR ... | |
| Naim Cd Players S23-Marantz??? Gimme a break. I had an SA8260, and even in SACD mode, this cdp can't touch my CD5X. The cd5x is well worth the price tag Naim has put on it. And I agree with Larryi's comparison between the cd5i and cd5x. I had a cd5i in my system ... | |
| Tweaks That Don't Work Lugnut's post helped set the stage for a great thread which I will also monitor! | |
| Help with what's wrong with my 300b amp? Sounds like a bad capacitor (center round thing). But there may be more damage than meets the eye... | |
| Mcintosh vs Parasound I don't know. But I'm sure if Bob Crump reads this, he will provide some insight. | |
| Mcintosh vs Parasound Actually, the break-in on JC-1's is more like 1400-1500 hours, and it's not BS.My amps now have over 1600 hours on them and they are anything but harsh, anyone who says these amps are harsh has problems elsewhere in their system, and that's not BS... | |
| What about a product can irritate you? Poor design/location of speaker binding posts even on high $$$$ speakers-really makes you wonder about what you don't see on the inside of the cabinet. Also on some amps.Massive amps that don't have dual binding posts for bi-wiring.Volume controls... | |
| A question for JC-1 owners... Tvad, I know about the SLVR's and have had some discussions via e-mail with Mr. Crump. But at $500 a pop, I feel this is a worthy discussion topic. If a high percentage of JC-1 owners post that they have upgraded their pc's and it seemed to help l... | |
| What's Going On?? Sound changes every night Well, I live in a neighborhood thats only six years old and my house is five years old. The power here is very solid from what I can tell. I installed two 20amp circuits with 12awg wiring and Furutech FP-2g outlets. I've experienced glorious music... | |
| What's Going On?? Sound changes every night So I'm not the only one who experiences this!@#$%&I think one of the biggest factors is components that are not fully broken-in and are going through "changes". But, having said that, I know I've had this happen to me with fully broken-in gear... | |
| Parasound JC-1 Questions Thanks Brian, they're the Starship MKII Special Editionwith TG Audio SLVR PC's and they match my JC-1's to a T :)What I want to see is pics of YOUR system :( | |
| Parasound JC-1 Questions 1)By now, it sounds as if you understand that they only need to be powered on w/signal 24/7x60 for break-in, after that it's business as usual. 90-120 minute warmup and your good to go.2) Don't know about the Krell, but, my JC-1's have no restrict... | |
| balanced/xlr vs. unbalanced/ single ended I just went from a SE ARC preamp to a balanced ARC preamp to utilize the balanced inputs on my JC-1 monoblocks.The difference is night and day-go balanced. | |
| Legacy 20/20 and Tubes I have read many posts' by Sean and appreciate his input.He is obviously very experienced and knowledgable in the high-end audio arena. One shouldn't dismiss a posting because he/she doesn't agree with the content. I have learned not to take offen... |
