| Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2 The pre-with-a-dac category is fairly new I think, Wyred 4 Sound makes the mPre, and I think Peachtree Audio offers something, but they don't have a lot of inputs. | |
| My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA I believe he said he demoed the A21 against more expensive amps in store sound rooms.Anyway, I've had a similar experience with Emotiva and Parasound. I had an XPA amp and was getting distortion with high frequencies at volume levels above 80 db. ... | |
| Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2 Ricred1, I take it you have the Aerial 7T's already? They are not cheap! A more difficult load with a minimum resistance of 3 ohms. As others have said, speaker amp synergy will be important, hopefully you can get the amp on a 30 day trial as many... | |
| Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2 i don't know anything about the Bryston, but my A21 is neutral, maybe a touch toward the warm side. It's stays in class A for the first 10 watts, and I probably stay within that 10 watts most of the time, running Paradigm Signature S6 from a Paras... | |
| Morrow Audio Cables I'd suggest that the cables are just settling in, I had that when I unplugged my Morrows to move some equipment and reinstall. Let them play quietly overnight and see if that settles them down. | |
| Best 3 channel amplifiers under $750? I just checked on the Emotiva site and it clearly says made in China on the back of the Emotiva receiver, the Fusion 8100. It does not say anywhere made in USA. I'm not sure where that idea came from, but it's wrong. | |
| Best Amp for $300 to Power Paradigm Monitor 9s The more recent NAD integrated amps have pretty good bang for buck, but I'm not sure if they'd meet your price limit. Maybe the C326BEE? | |
| Best 3 channel amplifiers under $750? Emotiva is not made in America anywhere. The amps are all made in China. I also had the XPA-3 and finally sold it after realizing its limitations with music reproduction. I'd try Anthem used at this price point. 3 channel amps are not common though. | |
| blue jeans cable? Hey, it's hard to say from one system to another. But if all one has is an avr or receiver with a dvd player for a source and basic speakers, it's doubtful one will gain much in the way of benefits.Over the course of a few years, I put together a ... | |
| Emotiva Tube Amplifiers Coming In February Uh, no. Emotiva is no CJ, not by a long shot. If you know what to look for, any picture under the hood of an Emotiva amp will end that notion. | |
| Eichman RCA's - what makes them so good? I've heard that. Morrow audio offers a break in service, the equivalent of over 300 hours, which he through in when I talked to Mike Morrow on the phone. For anyone looking to get high end cables with Eichmann RCA's, check into Morrow Audio. I hav... | |
| Eichman RCA's - what makes them so good? Thanks you trouble maker! No, I'm actually pretty happy with just getting something by Eichmann, the cables they'll be on are a real treat, so the combo should be excellent. You can spend so much money in this hobby, I don't want to squeeze the la... | |
| blue jeans cable? The owner's philosophy is that cables make no difference in the sound whatsoever. His prices are fair, but his products are not amazing for that reason. If one believes that cables provide no improvements, then Monoprice is the price leader.I've p... | |
| Morrow Audio Cables Nice set up, you've really looked after all of the details there! I'm hoping to run a couple of dedicated lines to my system next year, 2 15 amp breakers should do it, and see about a whole house surge suppression system, but the PS Audio unit wou... | |
| Morrow Audio Cables I just broke in a pair of Morrow MA1 and installed them in my 2 channel system with Paradigm Sig S6 and Parasound A21. Even those entry level cables from Morrow improved the detail. Mind you, that was between the source, Oppo 95 and pre. Between p... |
