| Are they truly balanced? The only ones I am certain of are Aesthetix Callisto, BAT, Atmasphere, and Elliott EASE Magnum. There are probably others, but I will leave that to others who are positive as to which ones. | |
| Digital Cable Remote turns on Wrong unit I am not familiar with the exact remote you are talking about, is it programmable? Does the factory Sony remote control for your TV affect the Mitsubishi as well? | |
| Hall of Fame I'm not sure if the first five positions should not all belong to Western Electric/Bell Labs. Just about everything we treasure came from them. | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Mhubbard. Reasonable thinking about including high quality cords with Krell. Unfortunately, this thread is an excellent example of everyone NOT agreeing as to the value of such products.What would Krell do when a good customer avoided buying their... | |
| Who R U? Gregm, speaking of Swiss efficiency. During our vacation in Geneva, my wife and I accidentally boarded a commercial ( freight ) elevator in a building.The USA version of these elevators is usually padded with ugly covers hung from eyelets along th... | |
| Hate to ask...... Kelly, Correct about the quality of the pull down screen. The two problems I have concerning it are money and ambient room light. Being a photographer I love natural light. I had a huge hole cut my living room ceiling about ten years ago. It measu... | |
| Hate to ask...... I will most likely catch it from Cornfed, but my two channel system is also my HT system, and they occupy the same space.I agree with him that you cannot have ANYTHING in between your stereo speakers, so my big screen Pioneer goes away and comes b... | |
| Vibration isolation for Io Callisto? Detlof. Yes the dual power supply is still available, and soon the Signature version that features upgraded parts including new capacitors and wire. All are important to the dynamics and tonal balance and cannot be overstated. The dual power suppl... | |
| Tube v. Solid State / Analog v. Digital I agree with Dekay. The best uses for a manufacturers specification sheet is to see the pictures and read the physical dimensions to know if it will fit in your space.After that, just listen with your ears and your heart. In the end you that must ... | |
| Break in period for power conditioners ? Stevenmj, I am surprised that a person so technically minded as you admits to using free-range chicken blood, just like the rest of us.And using an old piece of RS gear to break it in! What a great idea (I had not even considered). Having read tha... | |
| Who R U? Kubla, that would make a great Hollywood horror script! "The web site that ate Kublakhan" ( or ) "My screams for help were drowned out by high end audio." | |
| Vibration isolation for Io Callisto? Thank you for the compliment Detlof. Vince. I would be surprised if the electrical isolation you mention is not degrading the Io. Every device I tested provided negative results in my system. The large Accuphase was one of the best, but limited th... | |
| Skeptical no more I am pleased that you tried something that you were sceptical of and were rewarded for your curiosity. As Detlof said, the proof lies in long term listening. Perhaps your new acquisition will add to your listening pleasure and encourage you to do ... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Thanks Frap, one of the points that I have continually brought up to 702, in an attempt to show that the engineering side of the business believes in the same high performance equipment that we audiophiles do. There is absolutely nothing for Richa... | |
| Who's Hearing What? Big Changes Coming Holy cow Sugarbrie, another person who thinks like I do. I just quoted a job to Texas Instruments, and guess what? They do not want digital, 4X5 original transparencies so they can make digital files that are needed and still maintain a perfect lo... |
