| CD Player Recommendations… You'll want a decent player, maybe a Cambridge 851C? | |
| Over loading? Darn if it doesn't say 60 amps peak per channel. Somebody smarter than me will be along shortly but if it was an issue it would have a 30 amp plug. There are very few amps that require 30 amp service. I have had amps that will dim the lights with ... | |
| popping noise from my speakers Any tubes in your system? | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha sound imbalance My experience has been that for whatever reasons the channels may have an imbalance. Swapping sides is the first thing I do, then I adjust positions (loudspeakers and me) until it is optimized. Loudspeakers often have different outputs, sometimes ... | |
| Parasound Preamp I have not heard that particular preamp but I have experience with some older Parasound preamps. I would think in that price range it would be a solid performer. | |
| Need opinions on duping CD's "...Or, burn a CD or DVD with the wav files you want..."DOS: diskcopy | |
| More watts or better power ? "...Russ, I’m not saying my system is lacking and being held back, just curious about peoples thoughts on more head room vs cleaner power. The XA25 is rated at 50wpc at 4 ohms, which the Amators are. The amp is class A / AB and weighs about 50 pou... | |
| Small form factor integrateds I always wanted to try Parasound slim line products. They have a new "New Classic 200" that might fill the bill. | |

Some albums had little bass and some had room shaking bass. Your job was to get your system to sound right and correct playin... | |
| Primaluna Evo 400 Preamp pairing with McIntosh MC1502 This is a "How do you like my new wife question". Too late for my input. | |
| Parasound A21+ vs Adcom GFA-585se You will be very happy with an A21+. | |
| Two amps, one preamp, one sub… "...Do you think he subwoofer settings will need to be adjusted for each amplifier?..."The EQ for the room no, amps are ruler flat once you set up the room you'll be OK. You may have to slightly adjust the volume. | |
| Stacking Components Depends on what you stack and the order of the stack. High power amps should not be stacked and should be by themselves. Other low heat components can be stacked without worry. | |
| New to Music Fidelity A308 A couple of questions "...Can I bi-wire and use all 4 posts (2 red 2 black) for each channel..."Yes, you can. "...I plugged the DAC into the CD input I got a low level hum straight away..."No idea on this one, they should be the same. |
