| Parasound JC-1 Heat Dissipation I can only comment on one thing. The fan will blow the heat around in a sealed room, keeping the amps slightly cooler and the room slightly warmer. I would imagine that with bias set lower then the heat dissipation btwn listening would be lower bu... | |
| Using integrated as headphne amp: tape in or aux? Good point, Plato. Might be tape head in. | |
| Ok....Audiogoners: need some tube amp ideas I have no idea about the VAC PHi amps, but I can tell you that the VAC Ren Mk2 pre is magnificent with the Merlins. | |
| tape output to drive my amplifier It could work if the sub has its own volume control. It will not cause problems. | |
| MUSICAL FIDELITY A5 CD PLAYER PROBLEM It is POSSIBLE that if you unplug it and pop the top, you can gently pull/push open the drawer and remove the disk. | |
| Looking for warmth I had 2cis for years, with Moscode or McCormack amplification. Warmth is what they had in spades, to my ears. I agree w ith Usblues and Jmcgrogan2; Adcom is a good amp when you needs lots of juice, but it is not known for warmth. Classe, Belles, o... | |
| Best power amp for under 1K I've had both the Forte and the Mccormacks (o.5 and 1). the 0.5 sounds better if you dont need the extra power. The Forte is very nice sounding, but runs hot (Class A, duh!) and there is no manufacturer support. The McCormacks can be upgraded late... | |

I think that you would want a pair of subs if you went Merlins. I am a Merlin owner and have not heard the Tylers. Ju... | |
| does anyone have a copy of the DP-47F user manual? I have one. Email me through Agon. | |
| Ayre K-5xe / tube preamp s comparisons? One limiting factor with Calypso may be form factor. It is quite large front to back especially. | |
| Looking for All-a-round speaker $3k range I was thinking about the title "All around" not the specifics of the post. I agree that if you want a pop/rock sound there may be other choices. Vandy 3Asigs with a lot of current are a good "all-around" suggestion, but again, not really a pop/roc... | |
| Tube Pre, HT Pass and Balanced Output BAT and Aesthetix calypso. | |
| Looking for All-a-round speaker $3k range YOu'd be hard pressed to beat the Merlin VSM-MMS that are for sale right now at $2.9K | |
| Merlin VSM-MM v. VSM-MX FWIW, superBAM has much better bass extension than the older BAM. | |
| Hints on how to sell on A'gon? Generally, mid fall and winter ads are more productive. Sales fall off when the weather warms and around Xmas. My personal turn off is the ads that link to a well known web site where you can bid on "it". And the classified and auction for the sam... |
