| Parasound JC-1 power amplifier No offense, but:The parts that are inside the JC-1's are not "cheap off the shelf parts" by any stretch of the imagination.They were carefully choosen, and carefully matched together to sound their best. | |
| What power cord with the Cambridge Audio 840C? I had excellent results with the Signal Cable Magic Digital Reference Power Cord when I owned the 840c.It was also very inexpensive. | |
| Downgrading from JC-1's...which amp should I get? Wow,so many choices! I don't know how I am going to pick one.Thanks for your help. | |
| Marantz 8001SA vs. Cambridge 840C I have owned both, and wound up keeping the 8001.To my ears and in my system, the 8001 has a blacker background, more low level resolution, more space between instruments, and slightly more depth.The 840c is a touch smoother, and has a little more... | |
| Signal Power Cord with digitial components How well does the Signal Cable Digital Reference power cord compare to the Harmonic Tech Fantasy AC-10 power cord? | |
| Cambridge 840C, YES it is as good as the reviews Just to make a clarification due to criticism from some folks at Headfi:The Cambridge 840C is an OUTSTANDING sounding CD player, and used to be my reference player, until some family tragedies forced me into selling off most all of my system.I, at... | |
| Cambridge 840C, YES it is as good as the reviews Hi Audio_girl,I agree 100% with your conclusions on the 840c.I own the Marantz SA8001 and I am very happy with it.I also prefered the 8001 to the Onkyo DX7555,Marantz CD-5001, the Rega Apollo, and the Rega Saturn, plus it also plays SACD's.Not bad... | |
| Silver-plated or single metal IC's? How do silver-plated copper interconnects compare to pure silver interconnects? | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all I read on a Headfi forum thread that Pear Cable has decided not to participate in Mr. Randi's challenge, and has backed out.Michael Fremer has stated that he is still willing to participate using his reference cables, but Mr. Randi has now backed ... | |
| Best Aftermarket cables for Marantz SA8001? Hello Audio_girl,Good news:I have tried the SC Silver Resolution Reference interconnects, Audioquest King Cobra interconnects, Audioquest Diamondbacks, Kimber PBJ's, and the LAT International IC-200 Mk.2 interconnects on my SA8001, in both my refe... | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C I found that at first the balanced outputs sounded much better.But, I think the only reason they sounded better was because they were louder [more voltage output]. With the levels matched, the RCA's and the XLR outputs sound virtually the same, IMHO. | |
| What are the sonic DISADVANTAGES of the 840c? I have owned the Rega Saturn, and have had the Esoteric DV-50, and the Marantz SA11S1 in my home at the same time as the Cambridge 840c.Compared to the Rega Saturn, Esoteric DV-50, and Marantz SA11S1, I would say that the Cambridge is very slightl... |
