The floor between and behind the speakers is too often neglected
Hello,A great topic often overlooked by folks trying to build their music room or HT room. I consider speaker postioning as one of the key framework items in this process w/o which it is amost impossible to get the best performance out of your spe... 
Moving on from Parasound A21 (maybe?)
Hello professorsvsu, I own a Parasound Halo A-21 amplifier and I was going through an upgrade consideration, although for different reason, few months back. You can see this post going to my profile where you would get details about a list of Clas... 
Dedicated 20 amp lines/should i use a sub panel
@Al- Yes, it makes sense to measure the voltage to narrow down the issue. I haven't upgraded the Parasound Halo-A21 amplifier because of two issues, room acoustics and power quality inconsistency issue that we are currently discussing. I have some... 
Dedicated 20 amp lines/should i use a sub panel
@noromance/@lak,Thanks for your feedback. It seems like the hiss coming out of the speaker tweeter is a non-issue and in-reality that's not bothering me at the moment. So I would ignore it....However turing off all lights/heaters/furnace etc is no... 
Dedicated 20 amp lines/should i use a sub panel
Hello,I have a question for this group regarding an issue likely related to power that I face time to time in my music room. It seems that audio/video quality fluctuates during the day/evening and I get the best quality (audio/video) only after mi... 
The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
Hello All,I have a little different perspective on this or any other tweak that we audiophiles are obsessed with all the times. What I found so far is that any change in my moderate system changes the sound and the change is not always better. Als... 
Amplifier Upgrade Decision
@david_ten: I haven't made my final decision yet, got side tracked by a room acoustic issue which was more urgent to address. I might go for  Pass Lab amplifier (mono blocks) as soon as I can.  
Furutech AC Receptacles
@wylmars  - I am currently using a a couple of Furutech receptacles (GTX-D-NCF-R) without its expensive plate & cover with great result. Furutech receptacles replaced my PS Audio receptacles and the improvement was significant. I bought it fro... 
Amplifier Upgrade Decision
@markmendenhall Thanks for your feedback. Glad to hear that you like Halo JC-2 pre-amplifier which in my opinion is a great product at that price point. Just curious to find out how does Pass Labs 150.8, which is less powerful that Halo A-21, comp... 
Amplifier Upgrade Decision
@hddg- I completely agree with the power criteria and it's importance that you have brought up... Initially I thought 60W would be too less for driving the Aerials but Pass Labs product team confirmed that I would be fine with it in my relatively ... 
Amplifier Upgrade Decision
Thank you very much for all of your comments suggestions. @darcman- The DAC suggestion is indeed interesting and I have that in my upgrade path as well. I could upgrade either source or amplifier at a time given the budget constraint and I decided... 
Amplifier Upgrade Decision
Folks, Thanks for chiming in... A few comments from my side.Power requirement, as pointed out by Al, George and others, is very important for me because this amplifier would be used for both 2 channel and HT applications. Although I am a music per... 
Amplifier Upgrade Decision
Thank you guys for your feedback. Very helpful indeed. I think Halo JC-2 is very good pre-amplifier at that price point, at-lease it blended really well in my system. Previously I was using P-7 to drive Halo A-21 but upgrading the pre-amplifier to... 
Amplifier Upgrade Decision
George- Thanks. Given that I have Parasound HaloJC-2, JC-1 would be a smooth transition. I am very familiar with Parasound signature sound and it is good, However I have heard Plinius SA103 at a local dealer's store and it sounds really good. I ha...

Thanks for your feedback bond. How does support/servicing work for Japanese components?
