| Wow...what a record My favorite is 'Boys want sex in the Morning" by Uncle Bonsai.....Trapazoid "Now Then" is amazing.......Most of the John Renbourn vinyls are superb as well.............Have the original Everest Corrobborree and it is very good, but don't think I'l... | |
| Why is the trend to make separate phono stage JRD351, good luck with anything of quality from mainland China..... | |
| Out of production reference turntables The Goldmund Reference was a wonderful table, but don't buy the T3F arm at any price....I've had a Rockport Capella now for 12 years and am done. Nice thing is Rockport is out of the turntable business, but will continue to support them and is ver... | |
| Point to Point Wiring Point to point wiring is fine for tube amps as there is space to work between the tubes.....To make solid state work properly a board is necessary for consistency. Problem with boards is the board engineers as few have the talent to keep things cl... | |
| Dartzeel NHB-108 Hey, at least I have heard the DarTzeel and compared it to other amps, but it has been at least five years ago at a reviewer's place.......Mes always gets picked on as understand his new house is next door to the International Waitress Hall of Fam... | |
| Dartzeel NHB-108 MES divorced the 80hz problem a couple years ago :-)........The DarTzeel is a good amp, but understand the pricing has risen a bit of late. Parts keep going up unfortunately or worse yet, go out of print without a second source meaning an expensiv... | |
| JC-1 - is there a stereo version? All the Parasound amps are pretty much the same electrically with the differences being bigger supplies and more output devices. Closest thing to the JC-1 is the rebuild of the HCA3500 we did as CTC Builders a few years ago. It had all the fancy p... | |
| Why all these JC-1's for sale? Brian, there were only twelve units that got out the door with the incorrect parts......Six to reviewers and six to yours truly. The remainder of the first run of a hundred units were pulled and the parts changed out in November 02. The review uni... | |
| Why all these JC-1's for sale? Drubin, Parasound did not have much in the way of High End dealers initially so I asked to become a dealer for my CTC preamp customers. I sold about thirty amps and ran out of customers over a year ago and retired from the retail business. Had a f... | |
| Why all these JC-1's for sale? Thanks Sean! Yes twelve amps got out the door to reviewers and yours truly in 8/02 with two parts of incorrect value in the regulators, the contractor's error. DeWulf had trouble breaking in the units as did Wayne Donnelly, but Donnelly stuck with... | |
| Best amps for full range electrostatic loudspeaker Audiostatics.......Nice to see them again as last time I heard the big ones they were being distributed by Threshold about five years ago.......They were in the next room over from our exhibit at the CES and recall the big Threshold amp was huffin... | |
| Best amps for full range electrostatic loudspeaker Seadog 1, it would help if you advised which speakers you were using..... | |
| PLz help?best tube preamp: balanced + soundstage? Audiopooh, I don't understand the dilemma as imagine your volume pot is 50-100K which should be fine for a tube DAC.....SS DACs would have no problem driving the pots...Until you explain the problem a bit better I don't see a problem.....Problem m... | |
| Reference quality line stage? Sean, I did a demonstration four years ago in that estimated 22 x 45 x 12 room with the Blowtorch using some 100w Atma-Sphere amps driven single ended into some Swans speakers and had no problem filling the place using both CDs and Vinyl......Bett... | |
| Reference quality line stage? Tbg, how would you know? You have never had the bulk of preamps mentioned in this thread, including ours, in your system. Norm, your priorities are also different than the original poster as you have always thrived on leading edge at the expense o... |
