Sansui80 - I have a Ref 2.2 (not Linear, but original) on which QFS did the "factory" upgrade. I am very pleased with the improvements - improved mid-range, smoother, more detailed yet less harsh. However, I've been told that QFS is no longer the U.S. distributor. I've also been told that the mod on the Ref 2.2 (replace output caps to 2.2 450 volt Auricaps precision caps, replace output diode, re-wire power supply for voltage to caps, replace output tube with JJ Tesla EC-99) is not really a good idea since tubes like the JJ Tesla EC-99 are not meant to be installed on their side, which is how the mod is done. I e-mailed Stephen Monte at QFS for clarification on this but got no response. So while I would highly recommend Stephen's mods for improved performance, I would be concerned about their application to the player. I have NEVER had any trouble with mine since (2 years now) but would be cautious since Stephen has not answered my conerns.
System too harsh Help
I have a Parasound HALO P-21. Thought it would be good to power my Revel 30 preforma's. I will use a Halo P-3 preamp to try to match equipment but not committed to it. Might need another preamp. I was told to buy Harmonic Technology biwires pro-9. I have nordost cable Balduer running from cd Player , CD player is a conosance ref. 2.2 . Tube output.
I have two balanced cables both of which have not solved problem. Harmonic Technology precesion link and some generic silver wires, both balanced. They run from amp to current preamp Nuforce P-8.
The question is :
1. send speaker cables back. Get different one???
2. Add new cables to the signal path to correct brightness problem.
3. get a different preamp.
It sounds O.K. but highs are too crisp .
Can it be fixed witout a amp change. That damed beast cost too much to ship as well as my revel speakers.
Please help, any input would be great
