| Better 2-channel music A couple of things. First I did a comparison with two Oppos, the 95 and the 103 both as pre's to a 7 channel Outlaw amp. The 103 was underwhelming, and further research revealed that Oppo does not recommend it be used as a stand alone pre. My resu... | |
| best sounding integrated for under 2500.00 In the original price range(from 4 years ago!), The Parasound Integrated should be on the short list. Parasound's house sound is to the warm side and their Halo line is really something special. | |
| Emotiva Goes Brick and Mortar They tried the retail model with Sherbourn and failed miserably. Saying prices will not go up means they've probably been getting far bigger margins than they let on with the ID model. These amps must cost 20% or so of their sticker price if there... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers I was in the same quest as a Canadian looking for some warmth in solid state amps. I found a great option in the Parasound Halo line. Gorgeous midrange with amazing vocals and not hot on the top end as so many are. The Halo A21 single handedly tur... | |
| Rolling Stones Tour 2015 They're running low on cash again, are they? Suckers. | |
| Phasing out of Compact Disc Vinyl was only forced out when the industry forced us to buy cds. If cds ever go away it will only be because the industry forces them out, and I don't see that happening any time soon. | |
| Parasound halo JC2 what a joke Hah! My FOURTH grader could do it while chewing bubble yum! | |
| What's your latest album purchase? Diana Krall Wallflower, it's different from her usual stuff and a nice change up. My current fave. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Heroes - BowieI, I will be kingAnd you, you will be my queenThough nothing will drive them awayWe can be Heroes, just for one dayWe can be us, just for one dayI, I can remember Standing, by the wall And the guns shot above our headsAnd we kissed,a... | |
| What Pre/Pro do you recommend? Ruffle my feathers? Do as you please, big C, just sometimes you'll have to try a little harder. | |
| What Pre/Pro do you recommend? Wow, how convenient, maybe krelldog can buy the Ayre you're trying to sell on this thread. | |
| Parasound Zamp v.3 Runs Too Hot PS, one more thing. Regafan, in your first post you said the Z amp puts out 60 amps to the speakers, and that is wrong. It only does 12 amps. | |
| Parasound Zamp v.3 Runs Too Hot 2 ohm stable amps are very expensive for the most part and are not needed for most speakers, including yours. My Paradigm Signature S6 speakers present a difficult load dipping down to 2.8 ohms at some frequencies and some old Infinity speakers go... | |
| Parasound Zamp v.3 Runs Too Hot The Totems are well regarded, so keeping them is probably the way to go, but they may not be suitable for the Zamp. I've got the big brother to the A23, the A21, and its a great series. | |
| What Pre/Pro do you recommend? The thread starter wanted something with HDMI inputs and modern processing as well as 2 channel audio. Just because one poster owns a $20,000 processor that sucks, that's no reason to give up on one's goals. |
