| Krell KAV-400xi or Bryston B100 SST ? I bought a used Krell 280 CDP couple week ago. XLR hero connected to my Krell 400XI, cannot believe what I hear.Tight bass, open and warm midrange and talk about 3d image, front wall being pushed back few feet. Next step-up is the gorgeous BLACK K... | |
| Balanced/Unbalanced --- Whats the difference? I know I will pay dearly for this but when I hook-up the Krell 280 CDP to my 400XI with Hero RCA ICs, tremendous amount of bass and warm sounding. As opposite, with Hero XLR I get more details and less "big bass", very balanced sounding. This is j... | |
| What's your system response on " Feels like home" I have recently purchase a Krell KAV 280 CDP. Using the same NJ " Feels like home" track #2, it sounds quite natural and not as dark as with the Sony CDP. Miss NJ, my apology to you. | |

| Who makes switch-box for balance inputs? Thank you to you all for the inputs. However,I did not make it clear that I have two CDPs with one pair of XLR ouputs for each and my intergrated has only one pair of XLR input. I don't want the hassle to plug-in and plug out when switching betwee... | |
| "Integrated Amp" Do I dare go there?????? People buys hi-end gears for different reasons : (1). For the love of music reproduced thru the gears. (2).For the love of the gears (3).For the proud of ownership and status = mine is better than yours. Aoltes, What is yours ? Don't have to answe... | |
| Interconnect for Solid State, Perreaux, B&W 802's SPL, I bought 2 pairs of Hero ICs. First impression with Diana Krall CDs is the vocal is bigger and rounder or taper which is good but on the other hand, I loose a lot of crisp, edgy in vocal of slightly dark recordings as in Nora Jones" Feels lik... | |
| Martin Logan Ascenti's or the new Vista. Help JC, I bought the Aerius I new and lived with them for over 10 years. Aerius I is the most coherent speakers I ever owned including the SL3. Three feet from side walls, and four 1/2 from front wall, toed in 1/4 degree. This is just my own opinion a... | |
| What's your system response on " Feels like home" Art, interesting enough, I dropped the " Feels like home" into my son Onkyo receiver with his Yamaha speakers, the CD sounds just fine. I enjoy NJ cds and just wish the " Feels at home" cd was little brighter or less dark as it was recoreded. | |
| What's your system response on " Feels like home" Rotarius, you are pretty sharp. (1)Yes, I do not like the " vocal too up front" and heavy bass. Just my own preference. The "Love scenes" by DK is my personal reference CD for testing different gears for vocal. (2)Don't know yet. Tried Rogue ( mag... | |
| What's your system response on " Feels like home" No, Rotarius. I don't like the TIZZY sounds.I do not knock tube sounds either. As a matter of fact, I am trying to sell one of my 400Xi to get the tube-intergrated. Again, there is no battle between tubes vs SS here. My apology to all tuby heads. ... | |
| What' s the life span of power surge protections? Good point, Mt10425. You did check one a while to make sure your brickwall not cracking up, didn't you? Foundation repairs could be expensive. | |
| What' s the life span of power surge protections? The Panamax surge protections are so delicated and so sensitive. Sometimes, it turned off the connected equipments even though other equipments and lightning equipments in my household still on while I heard some thunders/ lightning far away. Stil... | |

Since you ask for ICs opinions, evidentally you are not ready to switch your new bought components, I would recommend replace your kimber 4tc& 8tc even thought they are good speaker cables but bright.I used budget Ics from : Harmonic tech, Aud... | |
