| Krell vs Parasound Well, I guess I should have read the whole thread before firing off a response! Congrats on the new purchase Rvito - enjoy!! | |
| Krell vs Parasound HCA is older - second tier - Parasound gear. A more accurate comparison would be with their Halo line - the JC-1 monoblocks (for example) are - IMO - far superior to the KSA-300s. | |
| Tube Pre to mate with Parasound JC-1s & Maggies? Many thanks for the great input so far - you've given me some good places to begin my research. As I wrote, I am relatively unexperienced with tube gear but was surprised to see no one has suggested a Shindo Aurieges ..? | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood The footage of the Nakamichi deck in that movie had me salivating more than the forced sex scenes! | |
| AQ Speaker Cables: Gibraltar vs. Mont Blanc? Decided against the "single bi-wire" option so I am going with the Mont Blanc as they seem like the better single run cable. Happy to post an evaluation if anyone cares.Many thanks for your input folks! | |
| AQ Speaker Cables: Gibraltar vs. Mont Blanc? Yeah, thanks, that's the obvious reply - & I certainly would audition them if I could. But that's not possible, which is why I am asking for feedback from people who may have had the chance to listen to them both. My question was relative, abo... | |

| Dynavector 20X or Grado Sonata for VPI? Got an amazing deal on a Dynavector 20XL so I grabbed it! | |
| PC Audio via S/PDIF question Thank you too Larry & Steve - helpful, constructive advice. | |
| PC Audio via S/PDIF question Thanks Tobias. Since posting the question I've realized that sound quality via S/PDIF from will be poor (internal sound "card" is ordinary at best) & a that a USB to S/PDIF converter is the best route. | |
| Dynavector 20X or Grado Sonata for VPI? Many thanks for your input folks. Given the preference for the Dynavector, I wondered about the version - VPI recommends the custom mid-output version but I am not sure how well that mates with a SS phonostage (too strong for the MC input, too wea... | |
| Best SME arm for TD-124? Thanks for the input folks. At least initially, I will be using a Shure V15 III - & have narrowed my choices to the SME 3009, either the Series II improved or the Series III. | |
| Cartridge for VPI Classic? But you do dial in gain, I guess the "VPI Grado's" are designed for less adjustable phonostages. | |
| Good quality RCA TT switch? That's some inflation! Also, to be fair, the Skipjack is a lot more than just an A/B switch. | |
| Good quality RCA TT switch? Thanks Onhwy61 - presume you are referring to the PS-1? I will check it out! |
