| Parasound vs Coda @decooney Yes, must be nice to be so close. Shipping my 140lb monster will cost $370 CDN each way. I’ll tell you though, it is speaker dependent of course, not sure what you got, but I am currently running my 4 ohm speakers (98db) with less than ... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? Nothing like another cable thread to start off the new year Most of the doubtful posters likely don’t think there is a difference in one bottle of scotch to the next. There choice for best costs 20 dollars it it is the same as a 20 000 dollar b... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @decooney Check out the manual: The S20 normally operates in stereo mode, providing a maximum output power of 10 watts Class A (into an 8-ohm load) per channel. In BRIDGED mode, both channels act as one amplifier providing a maximum output pow... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” Sorry to keep pummeling this thread, but just read this on Brent's website: Same amp! "This is the original 1950s RCA black plate that will never be duplicated. This is probably the last time they will be offered at this price. Good supply now, b... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” @ezstreams You did read this, right? I see here in this you just have the 2 gain tubes, whereas my EVO400 has 4 gain tubes, so yes 2 is all you need. But I noticed this quote from there: If you want to go to a "larger" tube like a 6550, KT88, o... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” @audphile1 Yeah, I could see that. If you recall about 6 months ago when I was searching for a warmer, thicker midrange sounding power cable and got the Audioquest Hurricane, as Squeeze/squeeze which is quite a bit cleaner and thinner sounding tha... | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? @gbmcleod And a friend who is 30 and in a band complains that none of his friends know what even one acoustic instrument sounds like. But they could all name 10 rap artists I bet; all millionaires, none of which play a single instrument. I a... | |
| Black Sabbath and Jazz fans? with a fictional backstory that they are from the late sixties. That part is really weird, I don't get what the point is.... http://www.jazzsabbath.net/thestory.php | |
| Black Sabbath and Jazz fans? Dream Theater is one of my favs too, Awake sounds surprisingly "audiophile like" in sound quality for a metal recording. I still listen to plenty of Rush, Yes, King Crimson, Emerson Lake & Palmer etc. as well, but more and more jazz as the yea... | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? Another thing that is funny is that most people with such criticism most probably will try to "science" me/us with "measures", physics laws etc. I am PhD Electrical Engineer @alexopth1512 Wow, well done. That is much more university than I had ... | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? @alexopth1512 Great post: I noticed that he had the cables on special stands with spikes and I new that these were expensive, I had seen them on the vendor and I believed this was crap. So I told him, everything ok etc but these stands, come o... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” @ezstreams Thank you- actually the system has changed so much this year -the amp I am using right now isn’t even listed in my virtual system yet. It has been a while since I tested tube rollin’ in the EVO400 myself, so no worries, I needed a go... | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? @gbmcleod Totally agree with what you are saying, but you have to give more credit to more of the non-acoustic recordings for having the ability to discern sonic differences between cables (and gear). I agree it may be easier to hear differences... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” @ezstreams Congratulations on your retirement, welcome to the club. It is off golf season for me currently, so I am listening to my system about 12 hours a day, some critically, some background as I browse forums and sometimes post, like now, but ... | |
| Streaming Leads to Brain Rot It was worth reading, I am definitely not like the "average" impressionistic streamer the article is pointing toward, as I sit here and stream to Genesis- A trick of the Tail in its entirety in the background. I think 99% here on AG are the same. ... |
