| Anyone try stuffing their ports? Sorry about the delayed response to the follow up question. By having a bundle of straws with the bundle sized to fit the port, they when pushed in, the outside diameter of the port holds them securely in place. The bundle is round, with tape only... | |
| Upgrade Amp or Speaker for 2 channel? What are you looking to accomplish? What area is your current system lacking with regards to your satisfaction? What is wrong with your system? What area do you want to obtain an improvement in and what is the improvement you are looking for?If th... | |
| Anyone try stuffing their ports? The benefit of the bundled straw approach is that you can adjust its affect by adjusting which straws extend in or out in comparison to the other straws. I would bundle the straws and then tape or secure them together as a single bunch (around the... | |
| How to use magic eraser to clean stylus? I tried this and my entire stylus disappeared . . . hum, must have been too strong. should I have let it dry out a bit more before using, that way it might not have been so strong. | |
| Macbook to USB to which one? Doesn't the Macbook have the headphone out which is also a digital output? You can buy a simple plug that converts the headphone out to toslink. Then you don't limit yourself to USB DACs, which really takes the better DACs out of contention. I wou... | |
| Krell Evolution One vs Krell MRA "the new evolution series from Krell is suposed to {be} better with new and more evolved technology" says who, Krell? I guess saying they don't sound as good doesn't go over so well for their dealers! | |
| Review: Audio Research Corporation HD 220 Amplifier Hate to say it, but goes to show how much one should read into a review of recently purchased equipment! Sorry Dave, but I think you also recognize this.We buy something new which presents a new or different sound, we love the excitement of listen... | |
| Mcintosh MVP871 vs Krell SACD Foster_9, correct me if I am wrong, but aren't the new drives simple computer CD/DVD-Rom drives? I am not trying to start something or a rumor or anything, but that was my understanding. Not that I even think that is an aweful approach either, at ... | |
| Mcintosh MVP871 vs Krell SACD Krell has really shot themselves in the foot with the disc players. Personally, I think they have also lost their image with the surround processors which are virtually out of date the day they are released. In my opinion, they should stick with w... | |
| CJ sounding preamp with balanced outputs? Aesthetix Calypso - great tube rolling preamp. There are some great threads on this preamp here that suggest different tubes for different goals. I have owned this pre twice and in my recent acquisition of another new (to me) preamp, this once aga... | |
| Golden Tube Audio SE-40 I owned two of these amps. One had a small problem. I had it repaired/upgrade at a very reasonable price. These are good amps and if you are picking it up on the cheap, I would definately consider it. | |
| SS amp with tight deep bass ? What speakers? This will provide a bit more direction in recommending an amp.I have found few that can compete with the Krell's. Maybe an older Krell (KSA) at this price point (but I would want to know the caps have already been replaced in buying... | |
| Electrostat - M-L; Quad or Soundlab - reliable I think its simple. If you want to own stats, its most like owning tubes. The stats by nature have a life expectancy (as to capacitors in your amps, tubes in your equipment, sorrounds in some drivers). If you know you have a product that has a com... | |
| Best analog sounding cd player under 5K Sandra, the new SA-50 has digital inputs. I myself have been keeping an eye out for one of these at a favorable price used (the only way I typically buy, I know, I am a cheapo). I had the X-03SE and loved this player. Make no mistake though, it is... | |
| Krell Power Consumption Dave_b, I hear ya! Sometimes I enjoy my interim systems the best, even though I know they are not as technically good. I chalk that up to the scenario that since it didn't cost me an arm and a leg (so to speak) that my critical listening expectati... |
