Primare I30 vs Krell KAV 400xi
Darrell - Krell KAV-400xi has a strongly compromised power supply (750VA transformer - while proclaming 400Wpc/4ohms) and cooling devices...Take a look the John Atkinson's measurments in Stereophile...http://stereophile.com/integratedamps/205krell... 
Primare I30 vs Krell KAV 400xi
Some 15 kilos is likely more suitable to deliver fairly 100Wpc (Primare I30) than wanna-be 200Wpc (Krell KAV-400xi).200Wpc means at least healthy 22-25 kilos. Everything bellow is fake. Including that Krellito. 
Parasound Halo A21 or Rotel RB-1090?
Angela - frankly, if must, I would sell the Halo A21, perhaps because Parasound has another better model (JC-1) on the list, so Halo A21 isn't the Parasound best.From the other side, in my ears Rotel RB-1090 remains Rotel's statement amp. I cannot... 
Parasound Halo A21 or Rotel RB-1090?
I still own both.Rotel RB-1090: In my experience somewhat more sober, more neutral sounding amp than Halo - nothing to add nothing to subtract... Powerfull to drive almost anything (according to Stereophile measurments, 380/700Wpc on 8/4 ohms, pum... 
Parasound A21 vs Parasound HCA-3500?
Lanny, I am owner of A21 about three years - paired with Primare PRE30 preamp emerged very nice pair. Assuming you're searching for an amp as much as closer soundwise to the JC-1 (you used to own them, right?), I would vote for A21 - I guess the A... 
Parasound JC-1 vs Pass Labs 250.5
Could anyone specify fresh accurate USA prices of both Pass Labs X-250.5 and Parasound Halo JC-1...???Thanx! 
Which amp, preamp would match B&W 803S?
I wouldn't play some 6000USD speakers with 2000USD amplification...I would suggest Primare PRE30 preamp & Parasound Halo A21 power - a bit pricier over 2000, but definitely proved excellent match with 803S.I own this combination almost 3 years... 
Parasound JC-1 power amplifier
Rubinken, thanx. Interesting that googling SOTA failed help me... 
Parasound JC-1 power amplifier
BTW, what is the current US price for pair of JC-1..?? The last I remebered was 7000USD per pair - bur dollar dropped significantly last months... 
Parasound JC-1 power amplifier
I must ask: what does "SOTA" mean..?? Excuse me, but sometimes it's not easy to follow some threads for us with English as a second or third language... 
Ultra high resolution
I must second both Shadorne & Dcstep... Homage To Duke is still one of the best recordings ever to my ears, and long-term reference...Anybody tried Joey DeFrancesco's "Singin' And Swingin'"...??? Far the best recorded organ, ever!!! 
Revel M22 vs ProAc D Two
Friz,Saying ProAc, you're thinking strictly of Response D Two, or ProAc sound generally..??Thanx for input! 
New Marantz SA11S2?
Strangely, but your description might be suitable for huge range of gear - in terms how reviewers usually describe their impressions...You simply suggest WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM OTHERS. This is very unconfortable position to get any valid re... 
Cambridge Audio 840C
@Rolloff.Taking a look at 840's list of features, I didn't find CD-Text included... The simplest explanation why your CD player doesn't display the name of album, songs etc. Your previous player obviously had included that one... 
Cambridge Audio 840C
Daltonlanny recently started a thread related to the Cambridge Audio 840C, with very respective amount of inputs (the last one dated on 17. september)...THIS THREAD SUDDENLY VANISHED FROM HERE...! If it happened mistakenly I hope forum's administr...
