why the PC change the tonal on my gears.
Jmcgrogan2, I read one of your other thread and one of the poster suggested 700 hrs breaking-in for his PCs. Does PC really need time to break-in? Please, give me your feedback. I am kind of like the clean and clear with authority sound of the Pre... 
Newbie.. what CDP/DAC for Krell 400xi and ML SL3
The humanly warm and big vocal from the SACD Standard & the 400xi is something tough to beat. Listened couple hours to the BAT combo VK42 (?)/ vk250 with the Rega Apollo/ Cary 303/300, yet the sound was beautifully produced but still there was... 
Newbie.. what CDP/DAC for Krell 400xi and ML SL3
Ktang, please let me have some feedback on either Jolida CDp with your 400xi. A while back,I used XLR connections from the KAV 280 CDP to the 400 xi and it was a day and night difference in term of not only dynamic (+ 6db)but details and tonal bal... 
Does the Krell KAV-400Xi overheat?
Hi guys, I need some help from 400 XI owners. Does any one run your 400Xi at 70/80 db for about few hours ( 86 db/ 6 ohm speakers). I understand the 400 Xi can go down 2 ohm without issue. Please give me some feedback. Thanks in advance. 
Does the Krell KAV-400Xi overheat?
I bought the unit new and I left my unit on several days at 35 to 40 db( reading level from the unit) and it was fine. But I had a new replacement from Krell after I played the unit for couples hour at 78 to 80 db level. I did not feel the heat fr... 
Tips for warming up Rotel + B&W system?
Stuartk, First, let me make clear of one thing :I am not into bashing any products. I am looking for a product or products that produce sound as human as it can be. Now, some listeners do like bright ( transpatent term use by reviewers), some will... 
Experience with Rotel RA 1062 integrated...
Hello, beernut. I have the RA 1060 and the RCD1072. The reviews recommended Quad 211l/ 22l. There is a post states Quad 22l is too bright and edgy. I am looking for a speaker to tame the harsh/ bright high of my Rotel Ra1060 and rcd1072. I am cons... 
Anyone running Quad 22L speakers?
Whow! Uhurit, You may have saved me a few hundred bucks. After reading reviews and recommends speakers for my litlle Rotel ra 1060 intergrated and RDC 1072 CDP, I almost bought the 22L. The Rotel are bright and harsh on top end, I thought they rec... 
The best sounding Audio Research Line Stage preamp
Please allow me to get some advice about the SS/ LS9. Some stated it was not details due to high frequency roll-off. Some loved it for it warm sound. Thanks in advance. 
How much better is the Krell 400xi compared to the
How's about the re-sale value? Currently, 400xi listed for 1600.00 uo to 1700.00 with 1 year or less of usage. The discontinued, vintaged 300i listed average 1100.00 with average 6 to 8 years of usage. It's the question of re-sale value and the ma... 
How much better is the Krell 400xi compared to the
I owned the 400Xi and I cannot be happier to match it with the Krell CDP kav 280. Love to have the SACD Standard but don't want to cough up 4000.00 for a new unit and not used to with used market. Nothing wrong with used market, but I prefer buyin...

Law of Diminishing Returns - CD/SACD Players
Forgive me in advance for my lack of listenning skill. I recently decided to re-visit the mid-fi journey by buying a Rotel RCC 1072 and after three continuous days of listenning, I have to say these mid-fi sound will give you listenning fatigue du... 
Is it time to see a shrink?
Mr, Tennis. I happen to read your old post : "what's good music?". Last night, I turn off the lights in my small den, just the BLUE power lights and the RED displays and little old "me", Nora Jones / Eta James sound very real right in front of me.... 
Krell KAV-400xi or Bryston B100 SST ?
Marco, Bryston is among the good company that makes their own trade mark for their own sound so is Krell. I bought two Krell 400XI. First few weeks, I have had a hard time to adjust to them with different CDP fron Sony ES, Cary,Rega...and also the...
