| Should I upgrade the cable of my Line Conditioner? @williewonka, thanks for the recommendation on Zavfino. Will definitely check it out. @ghdprentice, you are correct that I'm actually pretty happy with my current system. In fact I recently upgraded a couple of IC and they have made a huge diff... | |
| Should I upgrade the cable of my Line Conditioner? Thanks for all the suggestions and comments so far. I do use 3rd party power cords for all my components. They are not expensive ones. They are mostly Pangea power cords. I'm not so sure if they are good power cords, but they give me peace... | |
| Which Preamp with JC5? Rogue Audio RP-9 or Parasound JC2 Hey @88man, I own the JC2 BP and JC5, and have absolutely no complain on the sound. Very neutral and musical, and tiny touch of warmth. It's dead quiet. Make sure you use quality cable between the 2. I've been using Kimber Kable Hero XLR, a... | |
| Decisive moments your your audio journey Late 70's, I was still in high school, sharing a joint with my friend in his house, and he put on Baba O'Riley from 'Who's Next' LP. The rest is history...😀 | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Live Rust - Neil Young & Crazy Horse. I listened to all 4 sides of this double LP last night. What an album! One of my favorite live albums of all time. It started out with a few acoustic numbers, and gradually became more and more electr... | |
| Which interconnect cable to upgrade first Hey @ghdprentice @decooney , thanks for the suggestions! I've been thinking about tube preamp for some time, I might give it a try one day. | |
| Which interconnect cable to upgrade first Hey @ghdprentice @sdl4 and @thyname I thought I would give you guys one more update. I went back to listen to the Cardas Clear Reflection again this past weekend, and it really sounded wonderful! I love the spaciousness and soundstage of this ... | |
| Which interconnect cable to upgrade first Hey @ghdprentice I remember running the cables 24 hrs straight for 4 or 5 days from my source to my preamp. The preamp was off when I wasn't listening. I did like a few things about the cable between my source and preamp. Very spacious and det... | |
| Which interconnect cable to upgrade first Thanks @sdl4 I was surprised by the sound of the CR between my preamp and power amp also. I really did like the CR between my source and the preamp. It was very spacious with nice details. You are right that every system is different and everyone ... | |

| Which interconnect cable to upgrade first Hi, I just want to circle back and post an update to this thread. I ended up trying 3 XLR cables: Kimber Carbon, Kimber Select KS-1116, and Cardas Clear Reflection. I didn't try the Zavfino Fusion because they were out of the XLR version at th... | |

| Heat in class A equipment I have a JC5 that I keep inside a cabinet. When I first got it, it ran really hot. I think there was not enough space around the unit to circulate any air. Then I bought one of these and put it on top, and it really helps. It's also very quie... | |
| anyone here tried Parasound "New" JC-5 amp Hey @ja_kub_sz I'm glad you're liking your JC5. It really is a sweet sounding amp. I couldn't agree more that this is a funny hobby. No two systems sound alike, and every component / link / placement / treatment in your system contributes to th... | |
| anyone here tried Parasound "New" JC-5 amp @ja_kub_sz I do run a sub, but I try to keep the crossover and gain at lower settings to keep it from sounding too boomy. With my latest cable upgrade, I'm hearing more bass without touching the setting on my sub. |
