| Parasound halo jc2 and A-21 Dali helicons 800 II Your Parasound amp has plenty of power to get adequate bass out of your Dali speakers. You either have serious room acoustics issues or listen at volumes that are going to destroy your hearing.If you absolutely need more bass, a subwoofer might be... | |
| Favorite Pianists Lynne Arriale plays beautiful, but not smooth, jazz in a trio. She really should be much better known. "Nuance" and "Long Road Home" are probably her LESS accessible albums. | |
| Wyred DAC-2 vs. PS Audio PWave The PWD uses apodising or minimum phase filters which, to my ear, make a significant difference in 16/44.1 playback. I don't see these filters discussed much but I think they are a major step forward in digital. | |
| Filling out the sound I am not familiar with Rega gear, but I think that speakers are the most variable piece of gear in the chain of equipment. If you don't want to take the whole system back and start over, try some speakers that are known as having a warmer sound. I... | |
| Will it work? Copland preamp and Moon I-5 Int Amp Unless the manual for the Moon says that a set of the inputs bypasses the preamp section I would assume that they don't. You can call Moon and confirm. | |
| What does Uhqr mean concerning records? UHQRs do not always live up to the name. Listen or get recommendations before you buy. | |
| AR DS 450 efficiency at what sonic price? Some people love class D amplifiers others will only listen to tubes or class A amplifiers. As usual, you must listen and decide for yourself. I generally prefer the more inefficient amplifiers.On a side note, our so called leaders (both parties) ... | |
| Amps in the same class as Pass XA.5 series Thanks for the replies everyone. There is some diversity of opinion but as usual some strong opinions about Pass XA.5 amps. Class D amps are gaining some supporters too.Is there something fundamentally different about class A amps or can a class A... | |
| Amps in the same class as Pass XA.5 series Thanks for the reply Mechans. It's all subjective in this hobby isn't it? I don't get the oportunity to hear a wide variety of gear so I'd just like to get some names to consider. | |
| cd storage Here's exactly what you are looking for. Industrial strength, scalable, and you can put them on wheels. I recommend getting some better casters than Can Am offers or the Can-Am caddy though, because when these cabinets are full they are heavy.Also... | |
| Comments on Amphion Speakers, Please Thanks for the comments. I would like to use solid state electronics with the Amphions, something like a c-j 2250a or Audio Research 100.2. From the comments made I'm guessing that these combos would probably result in a lean rather than warm soun... | |
| Pass XA30.5 enough power for Wilson Sophia 2? Input impedance is low in the Pass XA.5 amps. That could be a factor. | |
| USB Cards to Replace Compact Discs? After waiting years for the high-res downloads that are always "coming real soon", I'll believe it when I hear it. That type of format would fine with me, though. | |
| What is Musicality? Kijanki, I have no problem with anyone analyzing music or gear, but if your system can only get you to scenario 2 and not scenario 1, then it is not what most people mean when they use the term musical.I also said, "but in the back of your mind so... | |
| What is Musicality? A musical system will cause your foot to tap and you to think only about how good the music sounds or to get lost in a pleasant reverie. If you are thinking about how detailed the sound is or how tight the bass is or how sharp the transient edges ... |
