Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m
Chayro, you hit on the audiophile neurotic FOMO thing. I haven’t bought anything in forever and this is huge price. I will wonder. I did audition the 1 meter Frey and Tyr...they were great. As far as the length, it will be difficult for me to mana... 
Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m
The one meter works fine as far as length...i can use them.  It's about this claim that the sound quality is better at 2 meters vs one meter...any thoughts on that?  
would using the onkyo a9150 with Thiel CS6 speakers be safe?
Sure, I'm just trying to play my thiels versus my goodwill stereo instead.  I just didn't want to damage the Thiels.  I am not playing it at any good volume.  
would using the onkyo a9150 with Thiel CS6 speakers be safe?
Thank you for your answers. With great fear i badly shoehorned my Nordost Valhalla cables into the too tight area and the posts are slightly too wide to get a complete fit (which scared me)  I hooked my Dac up into the Mains In and nearly had a he...

Because the Thiels stay under 4 ohms all the time and the Onkyo only has 60 watts per channel..  I'm afraid of damaging the speakers if the amp was a mismatch or too underpowered.

Gentlemen, I have started my engine and it is good to be back in high fidelity. Thank you all for your input. I fed the units power in standby after about 30 hours of getting warmer. I concluded that while still cold, the amp was warmer than the c...

@feldmen4   Wow, thanks so much for this detailed analysis.  My balloon just popped however.  I've been awake for hours thinking that today is the day!  I have kept both boxes sealed as I completely agree that keeping things wrapped will hinder co...

@bobpyle  No, the obvious didn't escape but I haven't spoken to the dealer in years and won't.  I spoke with Krell because the amp/pre-amp is long out of warranty, I paid and it's my issue.

@barts @feldmen4 @dekay Ok, i have anywhere from 24 hours from the chemical engineer, to four days from barts.  I really don't think I need to wait longer than 24 hours but I would like to hear the logic for such a long period of waiting.  I thoug...

"My frost knee jerk..."  I guess auto correct is warning me to wait!   Krell advised waiting but had to be asked.  There was no proactive warning but after reading other sources, I decided that there is a chance of problems and since shipping cost...

This logic is what made me think keeping it wrapped will prevent condensation from happening quickly.  From Quora:   This isn't so much about warming up. This is to prevent condensation from forming inside the device. I wear gl...

I was told specifically by the Krell repair manager to NEVER blow a hair dryer into the amp, so that won't be happening.

Yes, they do but when a cold object meets warm air moisture forms.  Just look at windows.  
starting equiment that ic cold from being shipped
That's a good point but both Krell and other google responses made me doubt the safety of turning on ice cold equipment.  Condensation could take out boards say some google posts.  It's amazing how cold it stayed the last time.  After 12 hours the...
