Breaking in power cords
I purchased a few adaptors and used the refrig to break in a few power cords one of which was an Elrod. All I can say is that it was well worth the price of the adaptors, so thanks Btstrg for them. Very much appreciated.Happy Listening after break... 
Need Infor On Sonus Faber Cremona
My buddy has the Cremona floor standers with Krell gear and it is plenty warm for me, so anything else should be a plus for you.Happy Listening. 
What is the quality of discs burned from itunes?
I have had pretty good results with the iTunes burner over the Roxie CD Creator that came with my Dell PC. I have been told that EAC (Exact Audio Copy) is the way to go but I have not had a chance to run it and compare yet.Happy Listening 
Pre amp for Krell FPB & Teac P-70 & D-70??
I have heard the Hovland tube preamp mated with the Krell power amps more then enough. That is the combination that I would go with if I had a Krell power amp.Happy Listening. 
Merlin speaker /Amplifier combinations?
Monk is correct. Even the newer BC amp that is a hybrid with 120 wpc stereo amp is very nice. You can get some nice Amperex 6DJ8 Bugle Boys for cheap and have a great sound if you don't want to go with the older models. You can also get a old Coun... 
Pre for Pass X-250

Pass vs. Edge
I compared the Pass X-250 to the Edge 10. The Edge was faster, slightly more dynamic and a bit clearer sounding. But on some recording, I felt the Pass was more accurate to the instruments, and held notes a little longer which again depended on th... 
Most expencive stereo ever
I once priced an all radio shack system that was way up there with the best of them. I think it was $999.99 or something that included a rack for all of the components. I bought during the annual christmas sale so I get it for a steal. The salesma... 
Pass X250:does it hum thru RCA's like Krell KSA?
No hum with mine using the RCAs. The balanced way the sound was slightly (slightly) more defined IMO.Happy Listening. 
isolation and dampening tweaks
Use a good bike inner tube on the sand to float you component and see how you like it. Well first just get the inner tube and place it under your CDP/transport to see if you hear a change that you like.Happy Listening
