| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music Okay, just for the heck of it, I re-loaded my Parasound JC1 with all Furutech fuses. However, I had 4 small 10A Hi-Fi Tuning Silverstar fuses that I put in the post regulator power supply for the input stage. They are severely oversized, but enoug... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music Bryston 7b3 Okay, here’s the low down. The amp is actually smaller than the Parasounc JC1. It is lighter as well. It does have a sizable transformer, but the JC1 transformer is bigger. However, it has a larger capacitance bank in the power s... | |
| Has Anyone Auditioned an LKS MH-DA004 DAC? Some additional comments here on the LKS (which I have been interested in for over 10 months). First of all, if I were to design a DAC architecture, the LKS actually does almost everything perfectly right. The only 2 things that I have concerns ab... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music Further comment on bigddesign3's speakers. The Martin Logan Montis is an active woofer design, meaning that frequencies under the 340hz crossover point are sent to the internal Class D amplifier. This means that the main Krell amp does not need ... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music Writing up my Parasound comments, since it is so lengthy. Stock – JC1 has a very refined sound, midrange is very smooth and refined. Emphasis is tilted slightly towards the upper midrange which causes the audio to sound just a little bit thin in t... | |
| Poor bass and treble. Yamaha receivers can usually be configured for 8 ohm or 6 ohm speakers (6 ohm setting usually works for 4 ohm speakers as well). The Klipsch are spec as 8 ohm, but you never know how low the impedance can drop. I would suggest downloading and rea... | |
| Bought a Cary 120S MK2 The Schiit Freya actually does have balanced connections. 2 sets of XLR inputs and one set of XLR outputs. Many tube options. I think four PSVANE CV181-TII tubes may give you the best detail and resolution, with some magic on deep and thick body. | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music @bigddesig3 - I think you are pushing too hard on your sell. There’s many different opinions and actually many different configurations that would work great in different system synergies. There are elements of monoblock amplifiers that will be su... | |
| Replacing fuse @kosst-amojan - is that why you talk too much? | |
| Suggestions for an amp Peachtree Nova 150 is a Class D integrated. There are two camps with Class D, as some people love it and others do not. It would be educational to read Erik's latest Class D thread (they are all much the same):https://forum.audiogon.com/discussi... | |
| Marantz SA 14 upgrade or add DAC? It depends on your needs. The Oppo 205 is a 4K universal player with a VERY good DAC for a bluray player - you are paying for a jack-of-all-trades swiss army knife. However, there are much better stand-alone DACs out there if you can use your Ma... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music Yes, you are absolutely correct when saying the NEW Duo/Solo Krell amps are not the king of treble. The previous generation EVO amps (such as 400, 402e, 403e, etc) were not pure Class A and had extreme amount of resolution. We were talking about t... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music Sorry, correction. The Krell Solo appears to be a full Class A amp, but with cooling fans. Up to you, but it is definitely a very clean and smooth sound. | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music It’s not that the JBL 1400 is a "horn loaded speaker" that is causing you to think you may need something warmer to tame it. It is because the 1400 has a titanium dome tweeter as well as an aluminum dome midrange driver. The breakup of metal dome ... | |
| Poor bass and treble. This kind of diagnosis is extremely hard to do, unless we are there with you listening and configuration.Can you tell us what your previous receiver was? Is the Yamaha brand new? It may need to be broken in. Could be a speaker/crossover configu... |
