| Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions thezaks your impression from the one person fly in the face of other posters who have been very impressed by the increase in musicality with the XD mods. If you reference the Tone review Jeff Dourgay was very cognizant of how much better and diffe... | |
| Recommendation on power amp Hate to be a party pooper but our store has a room filled with amplifiers from $1,000.00 - $15k in one room and and if you add in the matching preamps you may be talking up to $25k. yes these amplifiers do sound radically different.In our referenc... | |
| Identify System Bottleneck - Digital Front End or Preamp Phantom av the Hovland pre was designed as a reference preamp by the guys who bullt the hoviand capacitors.This was an exceptional preamp.We sell lumin and Mytek the T2 is just better.Dave and TroyAudio Doctor NJ Mytek and Lumin dealers | |
| Identify System Bottleneck - Digital Front End or Preamp Honestly the difference in preamps would not be better the hovland preamp was a reference grade pre. The ayre was a good dac but is showing its age. Also a mac mini or laptop is not designed as a music transport so your path to the dac is compromi... | |
| Recommendation on power amp One persons advertorials is another persons story and explanation of how and why something occured and testing experience. Would you prefer brand x good brand y bad | |
| Recommendation on power amp Cmgolf you fail to realize we have many fans aside from people like you who are not. Gwbeers thanks for seeing our point. | |
| Recommendation on power amp Gwbeers maybe the moderators thought your post was off the target this is a post about amplifers remember.Does Jim Smith not recomend products that he uses to tune systems? | |
| Recommendation on power amp Lamlowen hardly we get a lot of calls and emails daily and there are two of us $12K is my lowest price and your interpretation of what constitues junk for a warrantied set of floor demo amps is very different than ours the amps looy look great in ... | |
| Recommendation on power amp RS507 most of the people who are gripping about our "sales" tactics would never be our clients anyway. You can take these forums for what they are an exchange of ideas and you are free to contact us or not to see for yourself if we can make recom... | |

| Recommendation on power amp Lets get the record straight, Oddfio is a weird dude that has never purchased anything from us or has even talked with us either in person or at shows he draws all of his weird ideas from these posts.He makes ridiculous claims and questions our ve... | |
| Bryston or Pass Labs Udit very valid observations. In today's market there are many stellar powe amplifiers. Pass Labs builds a very respected product so does Bryston, so does Krell, Ayre, Sim, Coda.It will all come down to system integration and personal taste the c... | |
| Recommendation on power amp Newtoncr, the sound of the new Krell products is very organic, non sterile, big soundstage, good dynamics, tight but not overwelming bass.Sounds like it might be a perfect fit for you, the sound is somewhat like the JC 1 meaning that the amplifier... | |
| Recommendation on power amp Gndrbob, the Ayre and Vandy pairing is a good one as Vandy’s tend to be on the warm side where the Kef Blades are a bit more neutral.The Ayre can work but it depends on system matching, Ayre’s equipment tends to be very neutral, clean and fast but... | |
| Integrated Amps - Ayre vs Pass Labs 4425 we got the Krell K300i about two weeks ago, and it is pretty amazing sounding. The dac in it is surprising for a $1k dac board with MQA and Roon capability. Obviously the amp sounds even better with a more expensive dac we just got in the br... |
