| InfiniCaps in Audio Research gear Maxgain, it has been a while and just visited the garage and the old SP3A-1 and see I used Wonder Wire for signal grounds, 22awg 99.9999 silver/w teflon for signal and some aircraft quality 18ga silver plated OFC w/special teflon (the kind that do... | |
| InfiniCaps in Audio Research gear The Infiniti caps are very good, but you might find you can get more out of the ARC unit by rewiring the signal paths as well as I did years ago with some ARC units. The new caps will likely be smoother and you can go with internal wiring that wil... | |
| Help, new amp causing "buzzing" in speakers Call Tony Pointes at 415-397-7100 as he is the head technician at Parasound and can likely get to the root of the problem..... | |
| Where to find info on the acclaimed parasound JC-1 Kana813, I was really worried about all the glass in the back of the room when I moved in here as I have always had to deal with huge glass panes off to one side or in the first reflection....I plopped the Rockports down about 6' from the back wal... | |
| Where to find info on the acclaimed parasound JC-1 BEAR, see http://img.audioasylum.com/cgi/i.pl?u=users/6024&f=p8280004.jpg and you can have a look at Stan and the JC-1s.... | |
| Finger Print Removal on Aluminum Faceplates I like Windex if I don't want the piece shiny or Pledge if I do.....Normally like Windex better.... | |
| A tubes vs. Solid State question. Nrchy, it is fairly easy to make tubes sound good and costs like Hell in time, effort and expense to make solid state perform worth a darned.....Other than the transconductance amplifier Audible Illusions came up with over a decade ago there is re... | |
| Where to find info on the acclaimed parasound JC-1 Randy, Curl sent me his HCA-3500 for a rework and it took almost six months and a couple hundred parts before it was competitive with the Symphony No. 1......Hard to take a Chevy and turn it into a Porsche....That old BEAR is still the standard fo... | |
| Any one heard the Parasound JC-1 Mono Amps? The amp is quite unlike anything Parasound has ever built before and the pricing reflects this. There is no hold-up in getting these to dealers.....The amps have been available for just about a month is all so expect reports in the next month or s... | |
| Any one heard the Parasound JC-1 Mono Amps? 6K/pr is the pricing.....Enjoy the Music has a picture and specs under "News" on their website.....These are 400w hot rods.....If you note the S/N ratio Carl Thompson did this with the board and not a pile of buss bar to obtain 122dB, probably a r... | |
| Any one heard the Parasound JC-1 Mono Amps? Sure, but I helped design them and they made me a dealer as well so think I will refrain from going on, but will say the amps are significantly "better" than the CTC BBQ amp primarily due to twice the power supply, 40% more heatsink and Carl Thomp... | |
| Where to find info on the acclaimed parasound JC-1 Sean, the Dennesen was the JC-80 (as in 1980) not JC-1, which was a design John did for Levinson in the 70s.....The first batch of Parasound JC-1s are in the market and retail for 3K/each monoblock.....I've got a pair in my living room, but I was ... | |
| Lyra Helikon SL-Worth upgrade? Hey Detlof! I used the MC ONEs and had to have two or three of them as the rebuilds were not nearly as good as the originals and glad I tried the Clavis DC, which had no dynamics for about 4-500 hours, but came to life then and now just won't wear... | |
| Lyra Helikon SL-Worth upgrade? Put my in your book and have had a Clavis DC for over four years now and the silly thing will not wear out. It is in a Rockport Capella table and maybe it is the vacuum hold down or whatever that has kept it together all these years, but never got... |
