| Pass x260.8 v. Parasound JC1+? https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2537731 Do the Pass also have BIAS adjustments, and GAIN adjustments from a flick of a button? | |
| Parasound JC1+ warm up time I also own a pair of JC1+, I bought them new! They did take approx 1000h at my home (230Volts) before really open up! But they do change quite profound when left on for several days! I work shift beeing away from home, but I do plan my critical li... | |
| AUDIOVECTOR SPEAKERS Audivector R3 and R6 arrete´s are on my list to audition in the near future even tho Ive heard rumors that they need to be cranked up with volume to play at their best cos of their AMT tweeters. I normally lsiten to low volumes 80% of my time. | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? Im a big fan of running tubes in the pre-amp and SS for power. Currently running ARC ref6se with Parasound JC1+ blocks for power. I just love what they both bring to the party. I run JC1+ in low Bias settting (10W class A) during summer time and n... | |
| Pass x260.8 v. Parasound JC1+? Im a lucky owner of a pair JC1+ paired with a ARC ref6SE. Ive tried with several pre´s and also ran my Lumin X1 direct to my blocks with LEEDH volum control. There will always be diffrences, a thing I like about our hobby, same as room treatment. ... | |
| Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why? I wanna flip your question the other way around. Im running 2xP12 regenerators. One for each monoblock (JC1+) whereas the rest of the system is divided equally between the two regenerators. All I can say is that my system benefit from these regene... | |
| Budget High Current Power Cords I would choose the Pangea AC9 SE ii, not the most flexible cable but that's due to it's high 7 awg size. Designed by cable legend Jay Victor, same guy that's behind PS Audio AC12, just look at the similarities between AC12 and Pangea AC9!! Dont be... | |
| Preamp Opinion I would go for a reasonable priced Parasound JC2 from the used marked. I've ran this on a A21, JC5 and JC1 with great luck. The synergy between parasound's own product line is what I would choose. Dead quiet pre with loads of details with matching... | |
| Are Pre-Amps necessary? I can only share my experience from what my ears have told me after experimenting on this matter. I've tried my Lumin T2 with Leedh volum control into my JC1+, I've then tried a JC2 as a pre with same source but with disabled Leedh before I went w... | |
| Recommended streamers/servers? My journey has bin Bluesound Node, Bluesound Node 2i, LUMIN D2 and least but not last LUMIN T2 witch I will keep for a long time. (I will not be using the word endgame with a streamer/dac) Biggest improvement would be going from Node 2 to LUMIN D2... | |
| Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)? Bought a Parasound JC5 at release, owned for 2 1/2 year, sold it for nearly same price as I gave due to increase in prices. JC5 is such a remarkable amp for the money that I today own 2 x JC1+!! These cost me an arm and a leg, even tho they outper... | |
| Parasound A21+ vs Adcom GFA-585se Jdub39I've always craved for "the best of both worlds" solution with SS amp paired with tube pre. I would have kept JC5 if it hadn't bin for the lower input impedance the JC5 has compared to JC1+. Special ARC gear har high output imp. I've learned... | |
| Parasound A21+ vs Adcom GFA-585se I've bin climbing the Parasound ladder with first A21, JC5 and final the JC1+. It all started with the A21 witch in my humble opinion is the best hifi purchase I've done due to getting the most out of least money. I'm very, very satisfied with my ... | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? I'm running SL1200G with Ortofon Bronze, could not be more happy!! | |
| TotalDAC D1 Driver-anyone using one yet? Im also running a pair of new JC1+. I’ve tried to link my LUMIN T2 directly into these witch gave me a quite different sound to my JC2 pre. Dead quiet but I do prefer the sound of the JC2. LUMIN does have the Leedh volume control but after a week... |
