| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often this month's Stereophile has a review of the Heresey speakers, which are super efficient. The reviewer used a coupe flea 2-3 watt amps then used a Parasound 21+ which had more balls and sounded more organic | |

| Moving on from Parasound P5 Dac or Preamp Over a decade ago I had the P5. It is NOT a balanced design, although as I recall, the XLRs are separate from the main boards. I eventually got the P6, a significant upgrade, but that went down the road too. For the last 4+ years my Audio Alchemy ... | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE @cymivka Glad you were able to resolve without sending it out Enjoy | |
| Jim Gordon has Passed On... it took some psycho therapy and Adult Child of Alcoholic classes, but thanks. I came to peace with it long ago. I should have closed with that and don't criticize until you've walked a mile in their shoes | |
| Jim Gordon has Passed On... @gregdude Im 74+. I left home in 1966 at 17 (by 2 just months). My alcoholic mother would beat the crap out of me for no cause other than she was an angry drunk. The night I left she was in my face (literally), screaming all manner of profaniti... | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? Mad Scientist Audio's Graphene Contact Enhancer Audiolab CDT6000 and Tweak Audio EVS 1200 power amp. Beast of an amp based on dual mono IcePower AS1 1200 modules and lots of tweaks. He made less than 20. What a bargain @ $2700. Audio Alchem... | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE @cymivka Did you try unplugging waiting about 10 seconds then plugging it back in? Fingers crossed, it's nothing more than a blip in the internals | |

| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE Love my CDT 6000 I think a lot of people sell theirs as they do not understand how much better is sounds with a quality power cord and coax cable. I upgraded from Pangea’s Premier SE ($169) and Wire World Electra 7 power cord ($260) to Ali- Expre... | |
| Worth replacing bulb in Epson hd141x? Over a decade ago I had a 65" DLP which blew bulbs about once a year. Fortunately, I did get the extended warranty, and the same tech came for like 3 years during which I learned how to DIY. I found a company on line who sold all kinds of OEM bulb... | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! Over a decade ago it was not uncommon for editors to send true (dif) balanced components to reviewers whose systems were not. And in their write ups/reviews they would say they could hear no difference, proving both editors and reviewers weren't t... | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE @mbmi A long time ago I had a CEC, but the belts stretched and were very expensive. I found a work around: a company who specializes in O rings sold them by the bag for less than one belt from CEC |
