| Pass X1?? Owned X1 driving JC1s since 2003 and recently purchased XP20 but I prefer to wait for total break-in before making misconstrued judjements.That said and taking into consideration Pass' long standing reputation as makers of great sounding equipment... | |
| Preamp to match Parasound JC1 monos Bob Crump was adamant that preamp be balanced, had Pass X1 for many years with JC1s, recently bought XP20, still breaking in but sounding promising. | |
| Parasound JC-1 power cord recommendations Using original Shunyata Taipan with good results in lowering noise floor and tightening mid to low bass, imagine higher new models could do even better, but diminishing returns in price-performance ratio should be factored in. | |
| Trying to decide between Cardas Myrtle Heart, Thanks for your kind reply. | |
| Trying to decide between Cardas Myrtle Heart, Listen mostly to classical(symphonic,chamber music)acoustic jazz,world music and some rock from the 70's,so dynamic range and truth of timbre would be most important. | |
| Einstein "The Turntable's Choice " phonostage A follow up after break-in would be great.Thanks. | |
| Pass X1 / X250 - how to get a bit foregivable ??? You could try upgrading to the 250.5,much better in the mids than the older model and kinder to less than stellar recordings. | |
| Einstein "The Turntable's Choice " phonostage Thanks for the detailed reply.Good to hear you are happy with your purchase.Can't wait to hear one soon,hopefully as a part of my system.Your input has been most appreciated.Seems there will be a review out in Stereophile shortly by Fremer. | |
| Demo of 9 ft tall Sound Lab Majestics this weekend Thanx Brian for the reply,it has been most useful. | |
| Einstein "The Turntable's Choice " phonostage Sabertouch, I'm also searching for a phono stage and the einsteinhas for awhile piqued my interest but as you've stated there is so little to go on and I probably will not be able to audition it soon.Have you heard it already?Did you get a reply f... | |
| Demo of 9 ft tall Sound Lab Majestics this weekend Brian, It has been a month since your post and I'm curious concerning your impressions on the new Parasound jc-2.IMO the jc-1s set the standard for performance/value. Is it possible that the jc-2 is on the same level? | |
| Ortofon SPU or EMT TSD15 for EMT 948/929 tt/ta? thanx for the reply | |
| Parasound JC-1 and B&W 803d Will have to side with Kevziek on the issue of JC 1s being bright.Before purchasing them I had lived with SET amps for 8 years and before that PP tube amps for 10.I was therefore pretty much biased against SS amps. Now mind you I'm not saying that... | |
| Review: Parasound Empirical Audio JC-1 Turbo Mod Amplifier I'm curious,shortly after your review I remember having seen your modded JC-1's up for sale(please correct me if I'm wrong).Was there something that after awhile bothered you about the sound after modification and what amps did you replace them wi... | |
| Dynaudio Contour S3.4 users: sub required? although in-room response may better the 35hz(with presumely some roll-off)I doubt it will fulfill your stated needs.my c4's reach mid-twenties hz at best. |
