Parasound preamp/power amp?

Amplification
Submitted by MrTrash on

I've been thinking lately about upgrading my Harman Kardon HK3475 stereo receiver to a preamp/power amp setup. I've been looking specifically at the Parasound Model 275 power amp in combination with the Parasound Model 2100 preamp since this combination falls within my budget. I've read some nice things about Parasound gear but I can't find much information on their "New Classic" line.

For good measure alone, Critics, particularly the cranky ones like I've recently become, all deserve a well&ndash;placed boot up the arse once in awhile and so, much to my delight I too loved much of <I>The Simpsons</I> movie I prematurely sniffed at last week on this forum. I even get to add this delicious addendum: The critics are wrong! It's pretty wonderful. Many great bits. Much self-deprecation. Maggie emerging as a full&ndash;blown character. Okay, okay: I was wrong.

Music Hall A25.2 - Monitor Audio Silver RS6 ?

I've just purchased a pair of Monitor Audio Silver RS6 speakers. Now I'm trying to pick a cheap integrated amplifier (my budget is around 500US). At first, I thought I would go for the NAD C352 but since I may not need much power, my local store recommended the NAD 325BEE (or even the old 320BEE). Arcam also has the reputation to pair well with Monitor Audio and I'm considering the Diva A65 (in fact, I was only able to try my speakers with the A80 so far and it sounded good to my unexperienced ears). Another match could be the Cambridge Audio 640A.

Dyanmic range: CD v. LP

A number of people have claimed that the dynamic range of a given recording is often better on LP than on CD. Is this really true?

This would mean that there are two different mastered versions of the same recording: one intended for release on CD; the other, on LP.

Do labels really master two different release versions and put different versions on CD than on LP?

Now that the dust has settled on <I>The Deathly Hallows</I>, Stephen King weighs in on the series and on J. K. Rowling. King, of course, is one of the few fiction authors who can write about Rowling's success without bitterness, and his thoughts on Rowling's craft are sharp. He also knows just a little bit about toiling in the genre-novel wilderness.

Need to fix speakers and buy a receiver

Hello everybody, I'm looking to build a stereo

I got some speakers from my neighbor which are each made of 2 12" subs, a mid, and a high. The only problem is that the woofers are blown pretty bad, so I need to find some subs for them. Only one sub in each box is powered and the other one I guess is powered by the air in the box. Would it be better for me to make them both powered or should I only power one? I found some car subs for cheap on ebay but they can handle 600w each. Would it be bad for me to hook those up to a reciever that makes about 200-300 watts?
