| Interconnects be as neutral as possible? Like Carl says, EVERY cable or component will impart its own sonic signature. The tricky part is that each component / system will respond differently to the impedance changes that take place when you swap a cable of any type. This is unavoidable.... | |
| Parasound HCA-3500 Amp Parasound has disco'd this amp along with much of their two channel line. They were selling brand new for $1350 just a while ago. According to John Curl ( the designer of this amp ), the parts that Parasound used to build this amp and what he spec... | |
| Most cost effective room treatment? Try the site listed below for DIY treatments that work EXTREMELY effectively. These cost pennies on the dollar compared to most commercial pieces. If your handy with some very basic tools, you can literally save hundreds upon hundreds of dollars a... | |
| Best Power Amp for Adcom GFP 750 Pre? Do you primarily use it in active or passive mode ? What speakers and sources do you use ? Kind of hard to make suggestions as to what amp when we don't know your listening tastes, efficiency of speakers or the tonal balance of the rest of the sys... | |
| Hard to Find My brother has been looking for one of these units with no luck either. This was not a high production unit and J & R was the largest retailer of them. As Trelja mentioned, they closed them out quite cheaply ( $499 ). Since few were made and t... | |
| Avantgarde Speakers Phill, thanks for bringing yet another option of why i've seen some of the Avantgarde's for sale. You didn't have to get rude, as i simply passed on my thoughts pertaining to the question and never directly commented on the speakers performance. I... | |
| amp is hot!!!! Help!!!! Yes, you can route the EQ through the tape monitor of the preamp instead of running the preamp into the eq and then into the amp. No matter where you put the EQ at within the system wiring though, the end result will be the same. You either need m... | |
| Avantgarde Speakers Since i haven't heard any of the Avantgarde speakers, i can only pass on a few observations. I've seen more than a few pair of these for sale in the last few months. Some have been priced quite reasonably while others are not exactly "priced to mo... | |
| Bargain power conditioners I bought a couple of the Monster 2000's from Globe Mart. If your interested in this specific unit, they have what is BY FAR the best price on it. After using this unit for a while, i substituted a used Adcom ACE 515 power conditioner ($50) for one... | |
| classe and goertz m2 veracity not compat I would HIGHLY suggest using a Zobel network when using even a reasonable length run of any of the Goertz speaker cables. Due to their high capacitance / low inductance design, some amplifiers of wide bandwidth design can oscillate and overheat. B... | |
| Ohm 5s What do you think Eldragon's comment about Ohm maintaining their products for life is incorrect. They no longer offer service on the Ohm A's or F's using the full sized Walsh drivers. They can probably help you out on just about anything else though. Sean > | |
| Sunfire with Martin Logans Don't underestimate the performance of the Sunfire amps because of their price or the "name" on the front. My suggestion is to pick one up on a "deal" and give it a go. If you don't like the combo, you should be able to pretty much break even if y... | |
| Acurus versus Bryston, Classe, Etc. Rgd, As an Acurus A200X3 owner, i will not jump all over you but agree. I use this amp strictly to drive my center channel and surrounds in my HT system. I did try it out in another system as a 2 channel amp. I was not impressed with it. It was no... | |
| PS Audio Multiwave Why bother posting all the fuss here. If you've got questions or comments, talk directly to the man that makes the machine. Paul would be glad to answer any of your questions or respond to any of your comments. Cut and paste the web address below ... | |
| My Talk with Roger of XLO (power cords) I didn't say that power cords can not make a difference. I said that it would be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to "resonate" them for a very small ( especially low frequency )range. You can design specific filter slopes into them by playing with their elect... |
