| UPS Shipping/Damage Claim policy experience UPS is by far the worst of the shipping companies. Though there is no way in Hell that I would trust anything of value to the our wonderfully government employed post office workers.I bought a 90 pound tubed amp from a guy in California in mid 200... | |
| Direct connection of CD to Power amp As a reference, I prefered my old Audio Aero Capitole direct to a Mark Levinson amp over running the same CDP through either a Cary or BAT preamp. On the other hand, I prefered my old Wadia going through the preamp over going direct. I currently h... | |
| Krell KAV-250a/3 or KAV-500? I concur, with Sogood51, without a doubt for the front 3 speakers. | |
| Krell KAV-250a/3 or KAV-500? Are the three channels for the front 3 speakers (L-R-C) or for the Center and surrounds/rears? If you are looking for a 3-channel amp for the LCR speakers I would recommend the 250. If you are looking for an amp for the center and surrounds then I... | |
| Balance not fading speaker When doing this, are you using the sub as a cross over and not sending the full signal to the amp for the main speakers? If so, I would be concerned about this.Additionally, I don't know how crazy I would be to be sending my main signal through th... | |
| Balance not fading speaker I disagree with their statement that everything should be fine. Just out of curiosity, when you are playing a piece or disc you are very familiar with that has noticeable placement of instruments on one side or the other, do you still get this ful... | |
| CAL Alpha DAC: Stock vs. 24/96 upgrade Kevin, I did some checking at my office to see if I took a picture of the support for the transformer - all packaing pics, but not of the unit opened with the support. I early stated it was Kevin with Approved Audio, it was really Larry. This is w... | |
| Balance not fading speaker Is your amplifier balanced? What kind of subwoofer is it and how is it connected? If you have the sub hooked up via the REL recommended approach for a single ended amplifier but are running a balanced amplifier the REL is serving to jumper the two... | |
| audio reseach ref 3 or krell KTC...? I think it would generally make more sense to just buy a 400 CX versus having the upgrade done. I think from a cost to resale relationship this would be better economically. I'll listen to the 300 C before making any decision. I certainly don't ne... | |
| CAL Alpha DAC: Stock vs. 24/96 upgrade Kevin, When you take the cover off of the Alpha, there is the large metal piece/part inside. This is the transformer and is noticeably the most heavy part in the case. It is tall, comes about 1" short of where the top cover would be if the cover w... | |
| What should I look for in a Processor?? Ginas makes a good point, especially if you care about 2-channel performance. Get a pre/pro at a budget price such as he has mentioned, and later spring for a decent 2-channel preamp with HT passthrough for 2-channel listening as most of the pre/p... | |
| Which processor has better audio for home theater? The HTS 7.1 is not going to smooth things out or roll off the highs (Vayjay, I am NOT saying the Anthem does this FWIW). It will convey the signal without adding much of anything (in direct preamp analog mode) or taking much of anything away from ... | |
| CAL Alpha DAC: Stock vs. 24/96 upgrade Kevin, if you send in the alpha to the service company (Kevin there) will tell you to do this. Repairing these is a big part of his servicing of the Alphas. | |
| Which processor has better audio for home theater? Krell HTS 7.1 for HT, but even more so for 2-channel. This is a great processor and at the price you can buy them for brand new with the full 5 year Krell warranty for less than $3,000 (vs. the $8,500 LP), it is a true bargain. | |
| CAL Alpha DAC: Stock vs. 24/96 upgrade Routeman, I considered doing this myself as I had a Cal Alpha original DAC. The general feedback that I received on this same mod (about 15-18 months ago) was some liked it better modded and others didn't.Overall though, the concensus was not to p... |
