| Is bi amping worth it ? Parasound JC1+ and JC100 monoblocks have two sets of output connections for bi-amping speakers. You're mistaken. Those are for bi-wiring not bi-amping. Mike Ah.. That makes sense. Thanks for 'splaining. | |
| Is bi amping worth it ? Parasound JC1+ and JC100 monoblocks have two sets of output connections for bi-amping speakers. I don’t own either of these, but have always wondered how they work. Presumably only two amps are required. | |
| Streamers rabbit hole I keep reading that Eversolo has poor customer service, but very few of those comments are from people who actually needed customer service. I have the Eversolo A-10, and previously had the A-8, and the both worked flawlessly with no need for cust... | |
| ??? Where Does "High End" Start ??? "Absolute? The point at which your significant other gets really p*ssed at your most recent purchase." Hold on here. You're supposed to tell them????“ I don’t have anything to add on the definitions of HEA, mid-fi, etc, but today, the wife and I... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? Cat Stevens, 1973 in Landover MD. | |
| Tube Pre-amp Suggestions. +1 for Backert Labs! | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.4 ”This is for real and sometimes just spooky! Are you using the stock tubes for now and plan to try some other tubes?” I’ve read some posts about other tubes, but for now I’m going to stick with the stock tubes. Maybe after some time I’ll try roll... | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.4 lol. Thanks soix. I have you to thank for my speakers, so I guess I’ll have to seriously consider it. | |
| Recommend ~9"-wide 2-ch Power Amp with XLR input - please I have dealt with All Elite Audio, and can highly recommend them. They carry Advance Paris, although they don’t show the BX-1. Maybe they can get it? | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? I’m interested in others opinions, but I wouldn’t buy something based solely on someone else’s recommendation. But it was soix’s recommendation that led me to my current speakers (which I love), but would never have considered without his suggesti... | |
| Matching a amplifier to speakers @twangy57 - I recommended the JC5 since you initially suggested a budget of $5000. Less is understandable (although I never seem to be able to come in under budget). lol. But the close out price on a new silver Parasound JC5 is nearly the same as... | |
| Matching a amplifier to speakers You asked about the Parasound A21+. If you are willing to stretch your budget just a little bit, you can get the Parasound JC5 in silver for $5499. I’ve had Parasound amps for years and just recently bought a JC5 (but in black). I find it really n... | |
| Okay, that's it -- I'm done (unless I win the lottery) @deep_333 Lol. You may be right. I said I was done buying new camera gear, but that was five bodies ago. I doubt I’ll ever replace the Bose speakers, as they do a really great job as HT surround speakers; the center speaker is carrying most of the... | |
| AC Power OP -- if you have room in your system for a Furman IT-Reference 15i or 20i, you have room for a PS Audio PowerPlant 12. | |
| Power cables and power conditioners Every time I ask a question it costs me more money. LOL. Seriously, I’m not averse to spending money, but I try to spend it wisely. In that regard, I probably should explain a bit more. I have two systems that sit side by side. For music/2-channe... |
