| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? I'd get Parasound JC 1's or a big Krell. If you have problems of flattening out at high volumes it could also be the speakers. At least 200wpc is my personal minimum as power gets used up real fast. | |
| leave solid state power amps on? This whole thing confuses me as I know heat is an enemy of electronics. Even my amp which biases itself down still runs warmish and I figure if I can turn a tv off and on for a decade without a problem I'd hope my audio gear could handle it too. I... | |
| Small room Speaker suggestions First let me qualify that I am a dealer on the side for VMPS. I'll let you read the reviews and do the research on their planar hybrid speakers that have received great reviews from professionals and users. I've been recommending them for years an... | |
| Look Ma, No Speakers Interesting, thanks. | |
| Adcom GFA 555 II too harsh for EPOS M12.2's? Stick with the Adcom, it's a decent amp. | |
| Full range bass powerful speakers $5000 Help Winner of Best of High End at CES was the VMPS RM 40. Also has garnered numerous rave reviews. Recently I emailed Martin DeWulf of Bound for Sound about a crossover and driver change. He asked "How much better can they get?" An absolute must liste... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? VMPS's entire speaker line. I just became a dealer for them after using them for years. The reviews from professionals and users alike speak for themselves.Parasound power amplifiers. | |
| Pardigm 60v.2, Meadowlark Hot Rod Shearwater To make a long story short Meadowlark is not in business any more and the owner can't be found last I heard. The owner apparently defaulted on loans. The speakers though will no doubt drop in price and could be a very good bargain. I don't know if... | |
| PreAmp Math Your amps input impedance needs to be a minimum of ten times what the output impedance of your preamp is if you don't want to lose signal quality. More is better but it also depends on the preamp. On my Audio Research the output impedance is 600 o... | |
| Parasound HCA-3500, Am I Crazy? I've not compared the two but am on my second HCA 3500 after trying a Marsh A400s in between. On my VMPS Rm 40's which are extremely transparent I find the 3500 performs excellently from the bottom to the top. This in contrast to the Marsh A400s w... | |
| COINCIDENT total Victory or AERIAL 9 ? Even if someone's heard both in their own room only you can say which sounds better to you. At all price points there's alot of great competition but they sound different from one another. | |
| 12yr old NAD receiver or new? AT 12 years it's probably not worth investing in. The above posters have the best idea. Get an integrated either here or new. | |
| New DAC or player? The Sony ES line is one of the best imo. I'm using an Dvpnc 555ES with the digital filter set to slow. It sounds excellent through my VMPS RM 40's which are extremely transparent. The warranty is very good too. | |
| how do you determine what to upgrade next? Ditto to Sogood's recommendation. Until you treat your room you don't know what your system is capable of. | |
| Are expensive cables worth it? Room treatment will be a much better place to spend money also. There's a reason on some forums the dbt between wires isn't allowed to be discussed. The differences are so subtle with wire that speakers and room acoustics offer a far better return... |
