| What exactly is the ICE module in digital amps? I was asked to evaluate the sound by a manufacturer and didn't care much for it, but thought it would be great for rear channel or woofers.....It runs cool and is a small module for such a powerful amplifier..... | |
| What is the best amplifier for Rockport speakers? John, I remember saying to you that Rockport gear was a bargain and it truly is....We'll see how the JC-1s do for you with that 7' ceiling.... | |
| What is the best amplifier for Rockport speakers? Kana813, I also sell audio products so I would take anything I say with a grain of salt as well! Manufacturers normally only like their own gear so I am way too partial, but have used the Rockports now for a decade and know what they like in terms... | |
| What is the best amplifier for Rockport speakers? I have used Rockport Syzygys for about ten years now which use a smaller midrange and woofer than the Antares....The Antares seem to be (have only heard them at shows) more musical than my smaller model used full range (I normally use Entec woofer... | |
| Anybody remember G.A.S. Ampzilla, Son of Ampzilla, Grandson of Ampzilla. Thaedra, Thoebe, Black Beauty, Charlie the Tuner and Godzilla.........I have one of their posters that looks like Star Wars except it says Stereo Wars and instead of spacecraft it has Great American... | |
| Quietest amplifier you have ever owned. The Parasound JC-1 is the quietest amp I have owned and it measures 122dB at 400w out into 8r....At 1w out this drops into the upper eighties A-weighted... | |
| Would you re-furbish an old ARC SP3a-1 ? You would be a whole lot better off if you learned to solder and did the work yourself as it is a job to rebuild one of these as all the resistors, caps, wiring, pot and more should be replaced....What you'll end up with is a very good unit with h... | |
| Krell Amps vs others The new Parasound JC-1 is happy driving 4r loads and is rated at 800w into this load, but it does well in excess of a kilowatt.....There will be reviews out shortly..... | |
| Anybody using Wilsons or Soundlabs with Pass Labs? I have a customer who had the Pass 600s driving the Sound Labs UB-1s and it worked well....The Parasound JC-1s worked enough better on the U-1s and UB-1s that the Pass 600s went away as did the OTL amps he used above 150hz..... | |
| Choice of Wire for Dedicated Line Lak, thanks for your work as recall when I tested various duplexes over a decade ago it was like watching paint dry......10ga Romex is highly inductive and best to just install it and use all that inductance to separate digital from analog gear us... | |
| Best Dark Sounding Amp For Bright Speakers? Curl tried the socks over the ears and even in Berkeley that was too much of a fashion statement..... | |
| Audio Research SP-11 MK2 Umbilical Cord Upgrade?? I built some of these over a decade ago.....I spent a couple years rebuilding the SP-11, gave up and sold it....I liked the late model SP-10s and the SP3A-1 with updates better than the SP-11.... | |
| Hovland is coming out with a new component???? My nuclear powered line filter glows greenish yellow and Mothra Ressearch Unlimited said not to worry about it as most of it ends up in the dual mono tailings ponds anyway......see Mothra Power Platinum at www.mothraresearch.com as they have the p... | |
| Best Dark Sounding Amp For Bright Speakers? My partner, John Curl, has Watt 1s and the tweeter is hot as the devil so he hung socks in front of the tweeters when using his digital source....Point is the speakers need to go rather than the amp and maybe the old sock trick will get you down t... | |
