| Have opportunity to buy BHK 300's or Pass Labs 250.8 for my Thiel 3.7's- thoughts?? Pass Labs without hesitation. | |
| DAC's....Ayre versus PS Audio Still love my QB-9 too. | |
| Still looking for an amplifier upgrade- but with a new twist..... JC1's are my vote. | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Aerial 20T V2 | |
| Spotify vs. Apple Music vs. Google Play vs. Tidal: Which is Best Tidal by a wide margin. | |
| Cary SPL-05 or VTL TL 5.5 II First of all, nice system. Secondly, I don't think you could go wrong with either of the tube preamps you're considering.I owned the SLP-05 and it is a very special preamp IMO. I've spent time with the VTL and it too is very good. This is one o... | |
| Accuphase Vs Parasound The Parasound Halo line is very very good equipment. My JC1's go toe to toe with the best of the best. | |
| Questions about my system. Dual Monoaural means two mono’s in a single housing, two power supplies, dual everything. The HPA’s are fantastic amplifiers, yes they are solid-state. I owned one for a while and would still have it if one of the channels didn’t die on mine. You... | |
| Emotiva DV50s I think you mean Esoteric DV-50s, and I had a new drive put in mine not that long ago so I would think it's still a serviceable item. Still a killer value in disc playback. | |
| PS Audio or Ayre? I vote Ayre. I like their upgrade program over planned obsolescence, YMMV. | |
| Is pre-amp getting killed? @karurravi I don't have a lot of experience with Dynaudio but I have been to the Cary Audio facility since it's local and they used large Dynaudio towers to demo which was outstanding. They were using the SLP-05 preamp, which I have owned and was... | |
| Is pre-amp getting killed? I've yet to hear a combo DAC/Pre that compares to a quality separate DAC/Pre and I've heard a lot of the highly rated ones. | |
| Upgrade from Pass Labs XA30.8 to X250.8. Worth it? I've tried several conditioners on my amplifiers and always preferred them without. I use dedicated 20A circuits to my JC1's. | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. Sympathy for the Devil - Motorhead | |
| Krell iBias or Mark Levinson 533/535H series amplifiers with Aerial Acoustics Speakers? Parasound JC1's are a perfect match for my 10T's. They replaced a ML336 and I preferred them to many others I tried including Pass X-series, newer Levinson, and a whole host of others.Good luck with your shopping. |
