| Levinson vs. McIntosh vs. Lexicon or ? 6550 I hear what you are saying, but I am not convinced of your conclussions. I spoke with some people (@ Harmon) in Indiana about a month ago. There were quite a few people there from both Levinson and Proceed, so I cannot agree that they have fi... | |
| What speaker would be good for Krell rack? RNM4 - in reply. I really like the 7s. I don't really have the space for them though. Way out in the room and in the best listening seat, they just simply disappear. More so than with virtually any other very large speaker.I also think the Totem M... | |
| Levinson vs. McIntosh vs. Lexicon or ? I do not consider Lexicon amp to be in the same league as a ML amp (I do agree with the Harmon support and service mentioned above). I am not crazy about McIntosh with Wilson, but otherwise I generally like Mc. I do like Wilson speakers (that is w... | |

| REL Strata III Setup - Help Just be forwarned that if you are running a balanced system or mono amplifiers that you can connect the two channels together if you are not careful with the speakon connectors. This basically turns your system into a mono system, something you ma... | |
| Is the volume control on the Transport or the DAC? I can understand the concern about having a back up for the AA Capitole. The problem with your idea is that when the Capitole dies (ie. needs repairs), the whole unit will be down and out, not usually just the transport. Additionally, it is the ma... | |
| How to Play iTunes Through My HiFi Logitech Duet, doesn't need a DAC, but it surely benefits from one, requires either a direct connection to your laptop or a wireless connection in your house. Wadia iPod doc, does need a DAC.Personally, I like the Duet, I have mine going into an e... | |
| Can speakers be too large for a room Having owned a couple pair of Wilson speakers. . . First, 100 watts (8 ohms) of power is generally sufficient for most Wilson speakers - they are pretty efficient. Though I think in general terms that more power is frequently better in general.Sec... | |
| What speaker would be good for Krell rack? Depends on the sound you are trying to achieve. I would put the Thiel speakers high on that list. They love power, love curent and love more power. Some say they are bright, but with my Krell FPB 300 I think they sound great - they are more detail... | |
| DAC advice There is listed (I think yesterday) a Cal Audio Labs Alpha tubed DAC for pretty good price. I would buy this and listen, I think you will like this DAC a lot and it will only put you out $500, which you could sell in 6 months without a loss. That ... | |
| Dedicated lines No, three wires total, one plus, one minus/neutral, one ground. | |
| "DCS Delius" DAC direct to Amp? Blackstone, I felt the entire range tightened up a bit with the Krell versus direct. I found that the sound stage expanded with the Krell vs. direct, and with that there was more air/space in the sound stage and better focus of the individual comp... | |
| Anyone heard the Krell KCT Preamp? Stevecham, I love the fact that you have offered followed up years later to your early posts and that you are still in love with the system - after 5 years that says a lot about the performance.Too often one reads a great review and then 6 months ... | |
| Anyone listening to 24/196? I have a Northstar 192 Mark II DAC that can take the 24/192 signal. This is actually a pretty darn good dac and if you have a CDT/P outputting this signal, it may be worth your consideration. They are $2500-2700 new (I am not sure of the exact pri... | |
| Dedicated lines What was installed, based on my reviewing the runs, was inside metal conduit (which i believe is code in my area considering how it was run - semi exposed in a "crawl space" ceiling. There were 3 wires + - ground.You are right though, that I could... |
