| Parasound JC-1 power amplifier No the JC-1 is probably not the best solid state amplifier in the world. It is pretty good for the money though. It does get pretty good reviews and most reviewers agree that it gets you pretty close to the top for a real world price. I personally... | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp Don't skip the preamp. The Wadia might sound more transparent with no preamp but the benefits of a top notch preamp in a system are immeasurable.I suggest the Ayre K1x. | |
| which is better msb ilink or wadia 170 Doesn't the Wadia go for 299 and the MSB for 2000, plus they have to mod your ipod for it to work? Hardly comparable products. | |
| Downgrading from JC-1's...which amp should I get? If I were in your boots I'd look for an Innersound ESL 300. I own the JC-1s and also owned the ESL 300. It's a great amp and a powerhouse too, which is what you are going to want to stay with (a lot of power!) The only problem may be trying to fin... | |
| 400W amp under $2000 I think a highly underated amp that is rated at 300 watts is the Innersound 300 ESL. I owned one and while I think the Parasound JC-1s sound better, the 300 ESL was very solid. It would be my immediate choice if I needed a less expensive high powe... | |
| arguments against starting a vinyl collection? I've never heard the Emm Labs gear. I added a turntable to my rig that had a 10K CD player. I bought the vinyl rig for 800 used including cartridge. I spent 1800 on a phono stage. That modest setup I thought was so much more musical and involving ... | |
| Considering a change. Avantgarde for Wilson. I second that. I owned the Duos for a couple years and just could never get it right. I've heard the Watt Puppies a few time and they sounded amazing. | |
| Why does my vinyl sound so bright? Keep in mind that getting that cartridge aligned and VTA and VFT set just so will dramatically affect the sound. If you are a complete vinyl imbecile then this is likely the problem. Great sound doesn't come easily with vinyl, it's worth a lot to ... | |
| Innersound Speakers I owned them for a couple of years, the Eros Mk 3. This is THE reason I sold them. They are so dull sounding unless your head is in the sweet spot. Even laying down or back on the couch the magic was lost. If you don't like to sit alert and attent... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed There is a a lot of potential for improvment just with your cart. The Dyna 20X is a great cart for the money, but you can do a lot better. That alone will make a big difference. Just a move up the next step in the Dyna line is dramatically better. | |
| Hi-End carts - pros I think you are right you can't really go wrong. I've been looking and asking and reading for a while now and it seemst that if there is one clear cut favorite it is the Dynavector. | |
| UPS Shipping/Damage Claim policy experience You should get your money back from the shipper and he should deal with UPS, unless you agreed that he would not have any responsibility with shipping damage should it occur. I shipped a CD player years ago and it arrived damaged and not working. ... | |
| Help What Say You - Amp choices I might add that if you are equally happy with all three amps, the solid state one will be less hassel to deal with for sure. You can leave it on all the time and it will always be warm and ready when you want to listen and in my opinion will have... | |
| moody soundtracks What about the soundtracks to Traffic and Solaris? Those are both pretty good too. Also a great great on that is kind of hard to come by is the one for the Brothers Quay movie Institute Benjamenta. | |
| moody soundtracks One of the best soundtracks ever made has got to be Passion, Music For the Last Temptation of Christ by Peter Gabriel. Heck it's one of my favorite albums of all time . If you've never heard it, it's a must have. |
