| anyone here tried Parasound "New" JC-5 amp Great @ja_kub_sz , would definitely like to hear your thoughts on the JC-5. I did end up getting the JC-5, and had been mostly happy with it. I wish it has a little more bass, but I really like the musically and smoothness of the amp. Recent... | |
| Lumin T2 burn in time? Great. I'm glad you're liking it! The Lumin T2 is definitely a great product! I recently upgraded my cable from my T2 to my preamp and also from preamp to power amp, and it hugely improved the bass. I'm now a happy camper. Enjoy you Lumin T2! | |
| Lumin T2 burn in time? Hey @edin123 check out one of my last posts in this thread. The Lumin T2 did sound better after some initial burn in and the bass had improved. I think the Lumin crew recommended at least 200 hours of burn in. I also added a sBooster power su... | |

| Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears Best Erhu Concerto I’ve ever watched. A real classic piece. Butterfly Lovers is an old Chinese folktale. It is a love story with sad ending. You can read about it in wikipedia: | |
| How much gear do you own? I live in an apartment, so I have limited space. I guess that’s a blessing. Otherwise I see myself accumulating a lot more gears. As of now, I have 4 components that are duplicates and ready to get rid of: turntable, phono stage, a streamer, and a... | |
| Comparing Speaker Cables I agree with @carlsbad in suggesting listening for a longer period of time than doing only quick A/B testing. I find cable testing is extremely hard (or comparing any 2 components for that matter), especially when both cables are equally good but... | |
| Which interconnect cable to upgrade first Thanks @sdl4 for your first hand experience on Clear Reflection. Very helpful indeed! | |
| Which interconnect cable to upgrade first thanks @ghdprentice @thyname the Kimber Select KS-1116 and Cardas Clear Reflection are both on my short list to try. i’ve not heard of Zavfino, but might do a little research on them. I’ll be looking at XLR connectors. Thanks again. | |
| Which interconnect cable to upgrade first Thanks @jdub39 there has been a $500 price drop on the JC2 on every online dealer. Maybe it’s time to get yourself a holiday gift 😀 I wonder if there will be new update on JC2 coming soon. JC2 has been out for quite a while now. | |
| Which interconnect cable to upgrade first thanks @soix I’ll take a look. @ghdprentice here’s my setup: Lumin T2 -> Parasound JC2 -> Parasound JC5 | |
| Which interconnect cable to upgrade first looking for better soundstage and a tiny bit warmer sound without top end harshness. | |
| Which interconnect cable to upgrade first Thanks. Right now i’m using the same brand/model cables for both links. They are Kimber Kable Hero’s. They are actually not bad for it’s price. i was considering going up the chain to the Select or Carbon line, or possibly another brand like Carda... | |
| Rel Does Not Recomment Isolation Stands Ultimately, I think it comes down to personal preference and your home situation. I don't doubt that REL is correct about isolation. I actually posted this question to REL support before I was going to purchase the S/812, and found out that it... | |
| Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass I too am a subwoofer convert. I bought a REL S/812 last year and couldn’t be happier. One thing I also notice as it was mentioned many times in this thread, is that the sub also enhances the SQ of mid & high frequencies. I never understood how... |
