| PS Audio Premier The weak point of the Premier, IMO, is the nickel plated Decora-style outlets. I am unaware of any Decora-style audiophile outlets to replace them with. I understand there are other nickel plated parts in the Premier as well. Power Ports are not t... | |
| Rives PARC parametric equalizer I don't think the article is applicable since I can obtain the bass benfefits of the PARC and avoid the midrange problems just by routing the midrange to physically bypass the PARC. I don't believe the physical bypass is equivalent to the PARC's c... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view BranimirPlease don't paint all Class D owners with a broad brush. Even the H20 can be improved upon. I agree with MrTennis that the questions and issues about Class D can be raised and discussed in far fewer than the 300 posts. | |
| Rives PARC parametric equalizer ShardorneI don't doubt the test results suggested by Rives, but it is not a real useful test to me. You are still passing the signal though 2 extra sets of connectors and introducing an extra set of cables. My system does not sound as lucid and di... | |
| Rives PARC parametric equalizer ShardonePassive biamping of my speakers does offer a slight improvement in dynamics (mostly in the bass) and imaging. I am told that using an active crossover would have a more profound effect. This setup allows me to bypass the PARC for the midra... | |
| Rives PARC parametric equalizer I have been using a PARC for well over a year now. Certainly the PARC improves the bass and I prefer less bass bass attenuation then the Bare software recommends. In my system the midrange and treble sounded slightly flattened (2D) and less lucid ... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Muralman1Check out the Cardas site. Just about all of binding posts will fit the cut-outs on the H20. Avoid nickel in favor of pure copper or better such as the CCGR (short) binding posts. For RCAs, Cardas GRFA RCA chassis mount jacks are better t... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Elberoth2IMHO, the reasons for the mixed opinions on Icepower amps are the extent of RF present in a system, electrical isolation of the amp from the rest of the system, vibration isolation and impedance matching with the preamp. Even the H20 with... | |
| Best Digital Amp for Legacy Focus 20/20? Many amps change their frequency response based upon load. This was much more of an issue 30 years ago when it was discussed at length in International Audio Review. At that time many amps were optimized for an 8 ohms resistive load and went to pi... | |
| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player "However if APL is a "one-man" shop one could wait a very long time before their unit is shipped." Yes Peter, I realize this. This is the third time I have had units modified by APL. The first two modifications did not take anywhere near as long. ... | |

| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player PeterI don't think that question can be answered in a way you would find meaningful. I have been waiting 5 months for a 2.5T and never thought I would be waiting this long having tried to preschedule the upgrade. BTW, I have done business with 3 m... | |
| Best Retailer Youve Done Business With? In Connecticut, the best I have experienced is Take 5 Audio in New Haven. They have been around a long time.Bob | |
| Power Cord for Satellite Receiver You could consider getting a C7 to IEC adaptor that would allow you to try many different power cords instead of just the few high quality C7 cords made.Bob |
