| What SOLID STATE preamp recommended for the JC-1? Yep, the Blowtorch is expensive and only sold direct, custom built to order.....It has been lots of fun to build something that is closer to art than anything else in the marketplace, but few are interested other than as a curiousity about what ca... | |
| Pre-Amp for Parasound JC-1 Rcupka, you could do the big Lamm or the new BAT or you could get us to build you a preamp if you don't mind waiting a while.....Shoot me an email if this interests you......Regarding DC offset and tube units you really need to try it out at home ... | |
| Pre-Amp for Parasound JC-1 Sue Kraft had intermittent trouble with her 30SE with the JC-1s shutting things down for a few seconds......The sensor opens the speaker relay so DC can't get through the amp to hurt the speakers...... | |
| Pre-Amp for Parasound JC-1 The JC-1s are a touch cleaner used in balanced configuration, but the XLRs took every bit of thirty days of music 24/7 to break in and stop being bright.....The RCA sounds sweeter during break-in.....I would go for at least balanced outputs on the... | |
| What cable caused you to become a cable "junkie" ? Tbg, my partner, John Curl, will be able to collect social security in a couple months and am jealous as I have another six years to wait and hope there is something left....Started with hifi in the sixties with a Sony compact system and spent my ... | |
| What cable caused you to become a cable "junkie" ? What is this the geezer wire thread? Polk Cobra Cables and Audio Precision interconnects......Fulton Gold speaker wires.....This was all about 1975 or thereabouts........Recall my first $100 cartridge, an ADC as I recall as nothing cost more than ... | |
| Adcom GFP-750 vs Parasound P/LD-2000 Preamps? Hi Ritteri........Just a bit affiliated as Curl, Thompson and Crump, CTC Builders, designed the JC-1 monos for Parasound after we spent a couple years on the CTC BBQ, a highly modified HCA-3500.....I chose the parts, voiced the amp and was project... | |
| Adcom GFP-750 vs Parasound P/LD-2000 Preamps? Ritteri, the Parasound 2000 suffered from too many cooks spoiling the soup as nobody was in charge of voicing the unit, essentially a state of the art electrical design, close to the line amp in the Dennesen JC-80. It can be cleaned up and made to... | |
| Interconnects:Dazed and Confused Yes, have the Vollenweider and they spliced in the cuts of squirrels, dogs etc...One disc is reversed phase and the other is normal phase as I recall...After the Dance is a test for low level resolution, nothing more......Essentialaudio, I couldn'... | |
| Interconnects:Dazed and Confused Dark Side is child's play......Go get "After the Dance" by Bert Jansch and John Renbourn on Shanachie label (99006) and note the dog barking in the other end of the house from the recording venue. This was recorded on tracks 4, 12 & 15......On... | |
| Interconnects:Dazed and Confused No problem whatsoever Sonic Genius! I don't advertise which essentially cuts my pricing in half from those that advertise. I built up my dealer base over twenty years and most manufacturers don't have time for that and either go with a web retaile... | |
| Cables for Tenor/Kharma/Capitole MKI Really liked the woofers in Mike's speakers and wish my Syzygys had a woofer like that as had to use Entecs to get into the 20s and the amps/speakers in the Entecs just don't keep up with the Parasounds.....Got to get into the 20s to get the size ... | |
| Interconnects:Dazed and Confused Yo Sonic Genius! TG is not a direct company and never has been and I don't even have a website, but do have about 25 dealers scattered around.......I do have another company, CTC Builders, that sells a very expensive preamp on a custom order basis... | |
| Cables for Tenor/Kharma/Capitole MKI Fmpnd, no have not heard the diamond drivers, but will say that the woofer Mikel has is pretty much spot on........Like Rockports? Yep, have had one of their TT and a set of Syzygy 3 ways for over a decade and just traded a preamp for a set of Sou... |
