Parasound Halo JC-1 -VS- Bryston 7B-ST?
I called Parasound and I AM an idiot!Normally I don't like contributing to these types of exchanges but I am from the restaurant industry and you know the old motto: do something good for someone and they'll tell two people. Do something bad and t... 
pass labs x250.5 or plinius SA102 for summits
Charu: With the bottom falling out of the X350.5 market, you should consider the X350.5 over the X250.5. I have a pair of Summits arriving next week. They are replacing a pair of Prodigys which were driven by the incredible JC-1s. Since the Summit...

M-L Summits: Why Bi-Wire?
Thanks for the replies! I have to admit that my first thought upon reading Kenscollick's response was "oh come on ... what a crock...." But then I thought about it some more and it made perfect sense, really: some of us have single bi-wire speaker... 
Pass Labs X-600 vs. X350.5 vs. SoundLabs?
Hello Essentialaudio: The JC-1s were purchased new on 02/05. On average they are used about 4 hours a day so they passed the 1,000 hr mark a while ago. Again, I want to be clear here: I think the JC-1 is a stellar product. I am not succeptible to ...

Pass Labs X0.2 vs. X1
Thank you Richard and Ej for the insightful comments. Curiously, they balance out two negative comments I heard about the unit (in essence, the jump in performance wasn't matched by the jump in price) but others have said that Pass is probably one... 
Pass Labs X0.2 vs. X1
Hello John: Yea, I know, I know ... people chuckle about the Onkyo but, franly, I like it! It's a stopgap measure until I wait for the latest and greatest Universal Player (whichever that will be) and as I begin my foray back into vinyl (thinking ... 
Review: Parasound Halo JC-1 Mono-Blocks Amplifier
I'm eagerly awaiting tomorrow's arrival of my pair of JC-1's. Any comments on the power demands of these brutes? My apartment's panel has 20amp breakers and I use a Monster AVS2000 & HTPS7000 (no guffawing, please - they happen to work quite w...
