| Good Amp with totem model 1s? I had the McCormack DNA-1 with the Model 1's. It was amazing how a little speaker could fill the room AND have some bottom kick without being muddy. | |
| Audio Magic Power Cords Rodman,The XXX was a demo unit direct from AM (and I concur with Jtwrace that Jerry is a good guy), so it was already broken in. That said, I left it in for a week anyway before critical listening.Again, ymmv, but in my case, it did not fit.Believ... | |
| Audio Magic Power Cords I had the Stealth XXX with the latest mods (I can't remember what they are called). I was disappointed. The sound was very compressed no matter what combination of switch positions I tried. I compared it back to back with an ExactPower EP15A and a... | |
| Parasound JC-1 and Rotel RB-1090: Similar sound? Check out HTGuide dot com forum. The Parasound forum has a number of users who have gone from Rotel RB to Parasound Halo. There is a Rotel forum there as well. I have NOT heard any others go the other way.I have not heard Rotel so cannot comment B... | |
| DH Labs Silver Sonic I have my entire system wired with DH Labs BL-1 and D-75 interconnects and couldn't be happier.The T-14 speaker cables are excellent also but there are more to choose from here too, namely Audioquest type 4 and Canare 4S11 starquad.Don't buy into ... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4.5 amp recommendations? I have the VR4.5's and have only tried a few amps - namely Simaudio W5, Parasound JC-1 and Aragon Palladium 1K. Surprisingly, I preferred the W5's by a VERY small margin. As for bass/midbass speed and clarity - all these amps had it in spades! You... | |
| Preamp for both 2 channel and Home Theatre Get a used Parasound Halo C2. Excellent 2ch and HT performance. I have the C1 (pretty much the same electronics and I am VERY satisfied.Although not current, for older equipment, the Proceed AVP2 or the Aragon Soundstage are highly regarded and st... | |
| Anyone ever refoam Bose 901's? Check out simplyspeakers dot com. They have rebuild kits for the 901 and instructions that show how to replace without even removing the drivers! | |
| old Aragon vs new With the exception of the Stage One and the multi-channel amps - the most recent products are sueperior to the older stuff. The difference is in the price. It is a price/performance thing. The older Aragon stuff has been greatly discounted on the ... | |
| Silliest audiophile equipment of all time? How about setting some ground rules before this thread goes nuts:1. No rebuttals allowed2. No rebuttals allowed3. No rebuttals allowedThat should do it....Oh, as far as my selection: EVERYTHING by MachinaDynamica | |

| Anyone heard the new Simaudio universal Orbiter? I know this is outdated but stumbled across this thread and I thought I'd share my experience. I had a modded (part substitutions only) Simaudio Moon Nova (Black Gates; AD8620's; FRED diodes; Auricaps etc) and the (stock) Orbiter handily beat it -... | |
| Proceed AMP-5 vs Outlaw 7500 I know nothing of the Outlaw 7500 so I cannot speak for the sound quality, but I do own the Proceed AMP-5. If I just went by weight, the Proceed is a full 25lbs heavier. Even though it puts out "only" 125 watts (compared to 200 for the 7500), thos... | |
| Why the Distain For the Rotel RB-1080 Power Amp? Be careful when referring to Parasound. The Classic line sound is different from the Halo sound. The Halo line is a significant step up from the Classic line. Yes, some have called the Classic sound analytical. I wouldn't put the Halo line in that... | |
| Apogee Centaur Major or Magnepan MG-20/20.1 ? Satch,You are correct about the woofers. Judging just from the reviews, since I have no experience with the Major, the 8" woofer tightened up (improved) the bass. In my mind, it did not do it enough. |
