Parasound & Definitive Stereo - in SilverI bet your system sounds great. I have run both Dual A23s and an A21 and much prefer running the A21. It is better in every regard with my speakers (Vandersteen 3#a sigs). It is my hunch that it wo... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
David's EscapeMapman, I replaced a Denon DVD-3800 that was made around 2003 or maybe a little more recently. It is a very serious looking unit, but nowhere near the audio quality of the new Apollo. There is not ... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
David's EscapeNice to hear from you again Bruce30. Your idea to put absorbers on the ceiling is a good one and I have been thinking about how to do it inexpensively and in an aesthetically pleasing manner since ... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |

David's EscapeI just picked up a Rega Apollo and have been very happy with the purchase. I originally just set it on top of my Denon and It sounded much better then the Denon, but I was not prepared for how much... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
David's EscapeAudiobroke, you were right! It is amazing how much better it is and I am really enjoying it. The Parasound house sound is really consistent from the A23 up to the JC1, but there are definite improv... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |

David's EscapeThanks for the comments, I recently started looking for some new speakers since I am having a new house built that will have a 25' x 30' dedicated room. I listen to many from 2000-9000 and was not ... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
David's EscapeThe panels in the rear corners are now 4 inches thick compared to the original 2-inch thick panels. They are doubled up R19 insulation. I first tried it with only one layer of R19 and it noticeable... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
