| New turntable: TW or Obama? Guys, my apologies on the title. A victim of my smart device's auto check. I proof read my post but forgot to check the title.But maybe I'm getting more left wing feedback and interest so it's all good ....:) | |
| Azimuth: how critical is it? Looking at the headshell head on there is a slight visible tilt, maybe 3 - 5 degrees visually. I do not have measurement devices to check cross talk, etc.The sound is good to very good, with good imaging. My particular listening situation is a l... | |
| Krell KRS-100 caprevision Brian are you suggesting the big blue caps in the 250 likely do not need replacement? Ever? If so that's very good information.Thanks and keep us posted on your progress. | |
| Krell KRS-100 caprevision You doing the work yourself or did you send the amps to Krell?Reason I ask is I also have an old Krell needing restoration.Thanks. | |
| Need advice on used Wilson Audio speakers I've owned Wilson's nearly thirty years, 3 different sets: WP 2, WP 7, and Sasha 1's.IMO they got better and peaked towards the end of Dave's involvement.Once Darryl took over the Wilson "house sound" changed rather dramatically. The current line... | |
| Mágico M6 vs Big Wilson speakers Be aware that the Wilson sound has changed quite a bit in the last several years. Basically, it is a much softer/warmer sound under the direction of Darryl Wilson, versus the historic tuning of founder Dave Wilson. Some people like the newer sou... | |
| Pass XA 25 or Bryston 3B3? Upgrading from an Adcom 555.The Adcom is the weak link in the system, results in some unnatural brightness and hardness to the sound. Also less dimensional.Temporarily using a Krell from my other system largely cured those problems. However I wa... | |
| D'agostino amplifiers: where's the beef? Interesting replies so far for sure.A few points to consider:M400's have an 1800 KV transformer as stated in this thread. I believe my KSA 250 has a 4500 KV transformer that by itself outweighs an entire M400 mono amp by 20 pounds or more. Just ... | |
| D'agostino amplifiers: where's the beef? As I said I'm a fan of Dan's stuff - when it was obvious why it was expensive.And I agree his new amps sound good as well.Just where's the beef?The parts inside these new amps are modest for what they cost. That's all. And I'm wondering if other... | |
| Pass XA 25 versus Parasound A21+ - anyone compare? I listen to all types of music: jazz, rock, classical. moderate to loud volume levels though do not BLAST it often. Interesting responses so far, to say the least.Per my original post no Pass dealer nearby.BUT, my Parasound dealer just started c... | |
| my $686 stereo system, laugh if you want... Recently cobbled together a second system with left over equipment.Included a Pioneer PL 600 turntable (the original weighing 26 lbs and with a real suspension) collecting dust in my sister's garage. Broke the bank and bought a $475 Hana EL cartr... | |
| Upgrade Krell KSA 250 to what? Independent: Steve Leckrone mentioned above. Former head of service for the "old" Krell - when D'Agostino was around. Has his own shop where he services/restores the classic Krell amps like mine to supposedly new or better than new condition.Sti... | |
| Upgrade Krell KSA 250 to what? The plot thickens ....estimate for repairs/restoration in the $2500 range. The whole amp is worth about that much.A real dilemma on my hands .... | |
| Upgrade Krell KSA 250 to what? Wow! Thanks much for the contact! | |
| Used ARC Ref 75 versus new Pass XA 25 versus new Parasound A21+ Years ago I had to temporarily insert the 555 into my main system, Wilson's driven by ARC Ref 2 Mk II and Krell KSA 250 amplifier. Well compared to the Krell, the 555 sounds thin, brittle, two dimensional - just nowhere near the realism of the Kr... |
