Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10

Sean, I agreed with you re the Vienna's leaning towards the fat spectrum v the lean side. that is why I bought them.
there are not many neutral products, just someone's own version of neutral - which is a legitimate reason.

Muralman - Yes all the way downunder in Sydney. I sold the transparent and went back to the old harmonic's as they sounded better with current config.
Even thou I am not looking for speaker cables - I had a quick look at the anticable web site and iven the pricing of the anti cables it would seem a cheap option to try them out. Even all the way down in Sydney.

Are these cables quiet?.
I bought some local cable from radio shack type place a mnth or so ago to try. nice extenstion and transparancy, but huge amounts of noise.

cheers Shane

Well, I've heard the cables on various speakers, and in place of some awful good stuff, by MIT, Transparent, Shunyata, and Kimber. In every case, we all heard more detail, and extension. If the cable were noisy, how are we hearing fainter signals? I'm not arguing. I'd just like to know.

Muralman, that is good that the cables are quiet.
Reason for my question is that sometimes with more treble extension there is more noise. That is important to me as I primarily listen to vinyl which is noisier than CD from a background noise level.

oooohhhh yeah.... Yes, they are truth serum. They would have a party on vinyl . :)

Sorry guys, but I have to whole-heartedly disagree with your impressions of the JC-1 monoblocks.
Granted, mine are fully broken-in and I do use Signal Cable Magic Power Cords with them...a big improvement over the stock cords, IMHO. I am also using a Pass Labs X-2.5 preamp, with a Signal Cable Magic Digital Reference shielded power cord. This makes a real good improvement as well.
Gobs of global feed-back or not, I DO NOT find them boring or closed in in the mids and highs at all. They are very smooth, but at the same time they have exceptional speed, transparency, focus, air, detail, and neutrality. Imaging and soundstaging are first rate! Bass extension, control, and extension are also first rate.
They are by a wide margin the best amps I have heard in my system, or in any one elses for that matter.
Michael Fremer and Sam Telling hit the nail on the head when they described the sonics of these amps in Stereophile, and Tellig still uses them as a personal reference.
They MUST be FULLY-BROKEN IN and well WARMED up for at least 6 hours before any real impressions can be made of them.
Sorry guys, but I, along with all of my friends, absolutely love these amps and I have no immediate plans of selling them at all.
Just my 2 cents.
