| First home Theater System These are quality speakers, although not well known in the US. The main FS607 speakers like lots of power so the MC205 may be a bit lacking. | |
| First home Theater System Did you end up pulling the trigger on the Elacs? | |
| Has anyone heard the modified TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V I picked up a used Sony DVP-NS900V player at a very good price today, ;-}, and am planning to send it to Tube Research Labs for modification.I currently own a TRL Marantz SA-14 and had a TRL Sony 2000ES previously.In talking to Paul today he discu... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 monoblock amplifier The Parasound JC-1 monoblocks are wonderful! I use them in conjunction with a Tube Research Labs modified Marantz SA-14 SACD/CD player, Aesthetix Calypso tube preamplifier and a pair of Wilson-Benesch Discovery loudspeakers.The JC-1 solid state am... | |
| SimAudio or Classe for Power Amplifier I agree that Classe dealers would have a bias towards the B&W loudspeakers.I don't doubt that the W-8 would sound better since it is twice the price of the Classe 2200. Did you have a chance to compare the 2200 against the W-5, something at a ... | |
| Parasound JC-1 Heat Dissipation The Plinius SA-250 looks like a good unit but it also has a class A mode.However won't it have the same problem as the Parasound JC-1s? Since it runs in Class A mode to sound its very best.Is it practical to leave it in AB mode then switch to clas... | |
| Parasound JC-1 Heat Dissipation Thanks for the input. Sounds like I will have to pass on the JC-1s given my room size. | |
| Tube pre-amps with Home Theater bypass... All Conrad-Johnson tube preamplifiers have HT bypass (unity gain). I have the CJ 17LS and use Anthem AVM20 preprocessor for my HT. The left/right channels out from the AVM20 go to the input of the CJ. My power amplifier then drives the loudspeaker... | |
| Tubes for a Conrad Johnson 17LS? Chuck:I ordered a set (4) of the EH6922 with gold pins. I will post my impressions once I have had a chance to evaluate them. If they work out well, I may order a second set and get them cryoed to see if that makes a difference.What was the burn-i... | |
| Tubes for a Conrad Johnson 17LS? I own a 17LS.I need to replace the tubes. I don't have a lot of funds now for NOS tubes.EH 6922 seems like a good choice for a stock tube with the CJ preamps. I also have easy access to a local cryo-facility so may eventually try cryoing the EH 69... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 ERS may be part of their tweak toolchest, but it alone cannot explain the dramatic improvements they can obtain on typical units. I have used ERS extensively in my own tweaking activities, but I could never get my old CD players to sound like my T... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 There is a Marantz SA-1 listed for $2350. It would be really interesting for someone to pick up this unit and get it modded by TRL. Since people mention that the stock SA-1 is an outstanding machine, it would be interesting to see what Paul and co... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 I picked up a used Black Marantz SA-14 v1 last week. I sent it off to Paul @ TRL yesterday.I currently own a TRL Sony 2000ES, which I have been quite happy with, but have been watching this discussion thread for the last 8 months enviously. In a r... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 LA45, could you elaborate on the updates available for the Sony 2000ES TRL? I own the same TRL modified unit and am curious. Is it a small improvement or greater? | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 La45, could you go into more specifics about the TRL 2000 tweaks?Other than putting the unit on a DIY Symposium Ultra style isolation platform and mating it with a very good power cord I have so far resisted the temptation to open up the unit. Als... |
