| anyone here tried Parasound "New" JC-5 amp Hi jetter, that's totally cool. It's all about personal preference with this stuff, lol. It's so hard to try to describe what "creamy" means unless you have heard that. The Parasound does slightly roll off/soften the highs, but it is not a "cre... | |
| anyone here tried Parasound "New" JC-5 amp The previous generation Krell Evolution amps (402e, 302e, 2250e) are probably the best amps I have heard for this type of sound (which is my preferred sound also). But they can be as much as 8-10 years old (if you are concerned about age). The l... | |
| Macintosh c52 with Bryston 7b3 The Bryston "b3" series is a very refined and high resolution amp, but it is very fast and can come across as thing/bright in some systems. It can be tamed using a Isoclean gold-plated fuse (internal) and using gold-plated terminations on copper ... | |
| anyone here tried Parasound "New" JC-5 amp I heard the JC5 at RMAF last year. I also have owned JC1s and A21 amps. They are all relatively similar, though the bigger amps with bigger power supply will have more solid sound. I have also read that JC1 amps require an enormous amount of ho... | |
| Need Help with Voltage for Integrated Erik, you're reading skills strike again! lol. If you scroll up to reubent's comment above, the first thing he says is this: Per the downloadable users manual Version at the Arcam site,the voltage is changeable via a fuse internal to the amp. | |
| What makes a 20A IEC rated for 20 amps? 20A IEC are used to enable a more secure and reliable connection to the component. I actually completely disagree with this statement. I have 15A IEC connectors that actually make a better/snugger connection then even the 20A Furutech. Basica... | |
| TOSLINK Optical Signal Splitting? optical is pretty much the worst digital interface. There isn't a good "Y-cable" solution. However, if you google for "spdif splitter", there are several products that will split and re-transmit the optical cable signal. Optical cable is a 1-wa... | |
| Need Help with Voltage for Integrated Changing the fuse value will not change the voltage capability of the unit. I believe the manual is stating that because the required fuse amperage is half the value at 240V when compared to 120V. For example, if a unit requires 10A fuse for 120... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. THD, IMD, noise floor are all technical measurements that help engineer a good product. However, all electronics will sound different and after 20 years of listening, I really don't pay attention to these measurements. I have tested Bryston 7B3,... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. Pretty much all amps will measure flat and accurate. However, I stopped focusing on "measurements" a long time ago. Some measurements will help, but they will never tell you how an amp sounds. Much of how an amp sounds is how the input stage an... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. I assumed you would use the Luxman integrated as part of a "hybrid" system. This means that you setup a normal HT processor and connect the left/right output to a left/right "theater bypass" input on the Luxman integrated. Alternatively, if the ... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. the Luxman is voiced on the warm side, so if you wanted to pair an HT amp with that, I would go for the Parasound A31 3-channel. The Bryston is going to be too bright/thin in comparison to the Luxman. | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. I have tested several amps, one of them being Bryston 7B3 monoblocks. They are very nice amps, but they are definitely faster and brighter/thinner then some other amps. They are also just about as close to "Class B" amps as you can get. The Bry... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. The Bryston Cubed "B3" series is a very fast amp. Don't get me wrong, It is very high resolution and an excellent performer, but it will sound bright and lean on the bass/midbass if you pair it with a very fast preamp/processor, such as the Anthe... | |
| Suggestions for Class D amplifiers with Marantz AV7704 and B&W cdm9nt combo for HT. In addition, some of these comments were describing older Class D circuits. The frequency response of these circuits were dictated by the impedance curve of the speaker (where the impedance drops down very low in the bass/midbass area). Result c... |
