| Best speakers with Pass labs X-350.5 i've owned the c4s for over 2 years.placement is critical as with all speakers that deliver bass.should be kept well away from rear and side walls,otherwise low frequencies will become too pronounced as atkinson in stereophile made note of.doug sc... | |
| Recommended power amp for Energy Veritas v2.8 haven't heard Plinius,seems to be good feedback here on a'gon though;might want to investigate Ayre also. | |
| Recommended power amp for Energy Veritas v2.8 depends on your priorities,but in IMHO after having the jc1s for 1 1/2 years seems to me its greatest asset lies in its overall balance of strengths.other amps may do specifics SLIGHTLY better;(krells dig deeper,halcros are more transparent and ex... | |
| Parasound HCA-3500, Am I Crazy? Audio girl, I too own JC-1s and although I've never heard the 3500 seems to me the synergy with the rest of your system might be the deciding factor in what you are hearing.Also I believe true "transparency" should never be accompanied by etch and... | |
| Need speaker wire for my Dynaudio Contour 4's Artg,What differences in speaker cables did you hear between AU24 and analysis plus?(What were they,Solo Crystal 8's?) | |
| Parasound JC-1 vs. Pass 250.5 Fatcat, interesting comments;have you been able to compare the x250.5 to the larger x350.5? if i remember correctly the older x250 sounded a bit quicker and more nimble than the x350,maybe because of fewer output devices? | |
| Parasound JC-1 vs. Pass 250.5 before i bought my jc-1s was able to audition the x-250 in my system for over a month and although the pass impressed me with its speed,timing,dynamics and transparency and what some have called a certain "sparkle" on top,i was ultimately let down... | |
| Best Tube Preamp for JC-1 Monoblocks? Bob,any possibility of an optional phono stage to go with the JC-2? | |
| VTL 450 or Parasound JC-1 haven't heard the 450's and although i own a pair of JC-1s which have given me much satisfaction,i also believe as others have stated that you should probably lean towards your preference for tube amps. the JC-1s seem to favor balanced SS preamps ... | |
| Parasound JC-1 Questions my experience is also that with adequate space for ventilation they are warm to the touch at most,even after days of being left on in high biased mode.once e-mailed Bob Crump to ask him about this and he answered that he couldn't understand why pe... | |
| Any Spendor sp 1/2 owner or former here ? be patient,after 200-300 hours of playing music through them they will warm up substantially and sound much more fuller too. when new the sound is thin and constipated,very disappointing,but don't despair. i bought mine about 4 years ago and altho... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 Monoblock Break-in Period. my experience was that after first 30 days they stopped sounding bright but still pretty rolled off in the highs,after 60 days they open up nicely up on top while still sounding relaxed. | |
| Parasound JC-1's - tube or SS pre amp running them Check out the Pre Amp for Parasound JC1 thread. | |
| Pass Lab, Mark Levinso or JRDG for Avalon Eidolon friend of mine drove his eidolons with x600's,pass' top pre,cardas golden ref. cables and wadia.great musical and coherent sound.meters on amps rarely indicated that the amps were'nt operating in class A. later upgraded to xa200's...sweeter and wa... |
