Will there be a dramatic difference?


I currently am running my Thiel CS 7 speakers on a 25 year old Carver amp I have an amazing Audible Illusions modulus phono preamp. It all sounds pretty incredible. I am considering Parasound a 21 and I’m wondering if that upgrade will make a dramatic difference in the way my system sounds overall? Would it definitely be worth the investment?

You’re a few hours into the breakin. Things will sound better. Probably by the end of the day today.

There’s a difference between a pragmatic rationalist who desires to get to the end result with the minimal investment in time (and, money), and a hobbyist. Neither approach is "right" or "wrong." They’re just different.

Hope the A21 lights you up soon. Hopefully, no drugs required.

If going to make a comparison between and exchanged device, I have always found it best to let the New Device have a few weeks of usage, with regular periods of experiencing the device being used. A month is a period I would suggest is enough to allow the impression to be made, that is formed on a reasonable time spent experiencing the device in use.

For myself, it usually works for the best, when the device is not analysed, but let be and able to present music. The way the music holds the attention and the replays are conjured up as after thought, is usually an indicator something is new and forming an attraction.

If noticeable changes are becoming detected from the produced sonic, then the likelihood is that a Run In is occurring and the device is becoming more coherent in how it is presenting.

When returning to the A/B comparisons of old vs new, there will be plenty to suggest one of the devices is worthwhile being maintained in the system in place of the other. 

Being an Audiophile is to be one who has a enthusiasm to enjoy listening to music, achieving this place is easy, and for many has proved to be quite an addiction.

To extend the enthusiasm to attempting to enjoy music replays through the usage of electronically designed equipment, has the potential to leave an individual dis-heartened at times, but there is a place that can be found, that centres around the system created is enough to substitute the desire to experience music being reproduced from other means.

well said, and I agree 100%. That matter I have a whole Nother issue I’m dealing with mom it’s almost too long to explain, but I’m going to go ahead and do it for those of you who will suffer through reading it.

 

so I hooked up my Parasound I am running a Audible Illusions modulus M3B phono, preamp, and TLCS7 speakers. After hooking everything up, I was listening to it for three or four hours yesterday and it was sounding very nice. I heard a little rattle in my right speaker so I did a little trick that Rob from the Thiel speakers place up in Lexington Kentucky told me to do it. Which I also did with another speaker months ago and it’s worked like a charm. Gravity works on the subwoofers so I turned the subwoofer around and it fixed the rattle, on the one I heard rattling yesterday I did the same thing. When I turned everything back on, I now have no more base response in either subwoofer and either speaker. This makes no sense as I only turned over the subwoofer on my right channel speaker. I unhooked the new amplifier and re-hooked up my old Carver  with the same problem. There is zero base response from either speaker. I hooked back up the Parasound still the same issue. It doesn’t make sense. I’m wondering if anybody has any idea what’s going on here? 
 

I can add more detail if you guys have any questions for me
