Re: Sounds MUCH better?

Feel better now? he he. I don't own a Panasonic but I do know how it is built and how most all things are built. Yes, it has lots of problems/defficiencies, just as most $10,000 products do. Does it have a binding post?..then it is distorting! Yes, binding posts suck. You can bypass them by running the wires through a hole in the chassis next to them and wrap the wire around the post for a wire to wire clamp....so every power amp in the world can be upgraded by bypassing the binding posts....just one out of many, many things that can be done to most everything. Sorry, have been modifying and manufacturing high end gear for over 25 years and have yet to see a component that could not be made to sound better....at least somewhat. A $300 Panasonic? Wow...it needs lots of help. But, apparently, according to many, is very very good stock. I am always trying to push the envelope and hopefully help a few people who also are not satisfied with ordinary construction and implementation. If you feel threatened by all this tweaking stuff, I'm sorry. All I know, is that it works....It brings music into the room....This is what I want. I know that no one component is the magic silver bullet....it has to be tweaked and tweaked and tweaked to get it where it COULD be. This is what separates the good components from the ordinary....great circuits yes, but the implementation is paramount. And implementation implies power line conditioning, all wires, damping, all interactions with other components, etc. And when an amp is merely taking digital info in, then the transport and digital cable are now also very paramount.

I am sure you are right about what you heard. No problem there. I just want someone to take the Panasonic where no Panasonic has gone. PanasonicTrek.......the farthest reaches of the the aural universe...he he....

don't take yourself so seriously....we love you.
