| Krell KSA-200 Should I Or Shouldnt I? Yo Marcus,Not unless you are planning to have it changed over to 120 volt operation at the factory and the price is good enough that you can afford to add that cost and still be well under the going price. I don't recommend trying to run it on USA... | |
| Turntable/arm short list suggestions, please. 4yanx,I recommend the SOTA Star or Star-Sapphire with vacuum and an Audioquest PT-6 or newer tonearm. The suspension system in the SOTA is second to none. They are upgrade-able. Sota is selling upgrades as well as refurb units and there are plenty... | |

| Help - B&K AVR305 relays are "chattering" Yo Jim,Look into the following possibilities:1. What kind of wire was used in your home...copper or aluminum? If it was aluminum you might be getting some arcing in the receptacle that the B&K is plugged into. It will read fine on a voltmeter,... | |
| Another Hum Problem Question Yo Claud,I suspect your hum is caused by the new interconnects. You mentioned that "If nothing is connected to my amp, it's quiet when every thing else is cut off. If I connect the balanced ICs I get a low volume hum through the speakers."Since yo... | |

| B&W Nautilus 802 compared to 804 Yo Jeffc, The N804's are nice speakers and can be made to sound even better with the addition of a sub. B&W has a sub that will add the bottom octave and take a little load off that NuVista amp. I recommend the ASW-4000 (if you feel like spend... | |
| biamping my Virgos - can someone educate me? It shouldn't be to hard. The Virgo crossovers are parallel wired so you can add a pair of terminals that would be connected to the low pass filter for the woofers.
