Placette RVC vs. Adcom GFP-750 in passive mode
I guess I got lucky and my pieces just all seem to work together. A friend who bought my speakers (Merlin;MM's) just bought the Adcom.((Ok, I got all his money!!)) I tried to steer him to the Placette. He lives to far away to know if his "pieces" ... 
Placette RVC vs. Adcom GFP-750 in passive mode
I own the Placette passive. It bested my First Sound;-- Actually I get more/better bass.(than)-- Anybody know if this Adcom sounds better using passive than active?? 
Jadis dpl2 users
Hi George,I would think phase would be easy to detect. Listen both ways and check vocals and bass. Both would be dead center,with a tad more bass when correct. Changing phase is done at the speaker end. 
Best CDs for vocals?
I guess like taste in women; taste in singers varies. I have only the second Nora. Mine is a Chinese version. I assume no copy guard (?) but it exudes all over the place.--Instruments and vocal.---One of my best sounding cds. 
Playing with the idea of solid state amps
Yo; philfreak--In a thread I started and went nowhere and within another thread I asked about the Pass 350.5 we seem to be in the same boat. I have looked at ads for the same amps you mention. I nearly bid on the dutch auction for 350.5's last wee... 
Everyone whose Merlins...
I had the MM's for about 5 months.--Pretty much not much deep bass to speak of.---I live in an apt; so I wasn't looking for subwoofer bass; just the lower foundation of the music. --After the newness wore off,I knew I had to have some bass. I boug... 
What do you think of a Sonic Frontiers Processor 3
Right on sutts--- I do remember the review---It states the same thing---niether pieces were to hot(for the $$$) by themselves.---But great together. Get you one of them Audiomecca Enkainthus dacs--I own one. 
HELP about preamp and processor
One would run a pair of ic's from the processor's "fronts-out"-(l&r) in to this "tape-loop" input of the Jadis. One would also have a pair of ic's coming from their dac---those go into the "cd-input" of the Jadis. So,--for 2ch you would use th... 
Pass labs X-350 Love it or hate it
I can only imagine having just bought your X=350 and reading nothing but praise for the .5 model.As we all know reading can be bad for our check book. 
Biamp Low frequecy amp recommend
Eagle amps got tons of grunt as well. 
Quality CD player to also serve as external DAC?
Also the Denon 9000. 
Can you remember when you could hear???
Possibly --Maybe--- Now I'm so old I can't remember for sure.Like they say I get to hear lots of tunes for the first time;via my old collection. 
What Was Thrown Off the Tallahatchie Bridge?
George Bush??--Yknot 
Lots of air= lots of subwoofer
While my input isn't about a sub,I do understand good low info at lesser volumes. Going from Merlin MM to Sophia; and changing nothing else---I get it.--Think Lou Reeds "Walk on the Wild Side" Tonal bass,indeed. 
What is Audio Researches best preamp period
I could be wrong but I think Albert was just giving the stengths vs weakness of the dif. models. As I remember he is a Calypso owner,unless that has changed. I have a problem with a thread starter chastising those whom don't answer the question th...
