Audiolabyrinth,Just curious, what have you modyfied on your Krell? On my side, I got rid of the fixed AC cords and installed a Furutech Rodhium AC inlet and used Shunyata Anaconda CX power cords. Also installled Bybee AC purifiers at the input of ...

Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70?
Hi Lecram,Altough I like my Krells, I would like to have a beefier SS amp with latest design technology. The Krells still sound very good but are getting old, even tough I have recently recapped them. The Bryston was favorably rated in The Absolut... 
Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70?
Hi Lecram,Funny since I was to write a similar post. I have a pair of refurbished Apogee Duetta Signatures powered by Krell FPB-350 MCX monoblocks. The Bryston 28 bsst2 and Classe 600 monoblocks are some of the amps I am looking into to eventually... 
Upgrading IEC Inlet advice
Tboooe,I have modified my Krell monoblocks to have a detachable AC cord and installed an IEC inlet. I have purchased the Furutech FI 33 Rhodium inlet. I measured the exact contour of the Inlet by using a micrometer. I used a very smal drill bit to... 
Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva
Melbguy1,Unfortunately, I have not heard the TSW Diva Ultimates. I purchased my DS brand new in the 90's and remember listening to the stock Diva. I would say that the stock DS were probably giving 80-90 percent sound quality of the Diva. The Diva... 
Asynchronous USB DAC and USB cable quality
Dtc,I have learned a lesson here and thanks for your last thread, which make me feel better now. 
Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva
Ptmconsulting,I also have a pair of Apogee DS which I have totally replaced all Xover components by latest audiophile grade components. This was an astonishing upgrade in sound quality, but still had the Apogee buzz on low frequency content when p... 
USB printer cable VS USB audiophile grade cable?
Extravaganza,Excuse my question, since English is not my first language, but what is a red flat tasker cable? Where can you purchase such cable? What is the dielectric used in your cable and which USB connector brand did you use to build your cabl... 
Asynchronous USB DAC and USB cable quality
Dtc,If you follow my thread, I have asked a question to the Audiogon community and besides Cerrot's comment, I did not get a clear answer to my question. So I decided to get the answer by myself by purchasing the Furutech cable and do the evaluati... 
Asynchronous USB DAC and USB cable quality
Dtc and Mceljo,Please view my follow-up thread titled 'USB printer cable VS USB audiophile grade cable?'. Yes, there was a clear positive difference.Mceljo, I did get intermittent sibilance/background noise while using the printer cable, which I d... 
USB printer cable VS USB audiophile grade cable?
Hi Al,I think we are getting somewhere. The overall resistance of the individual cables composing the Furutech USB should far less than the printer cable which are probably run of the mill copper cables with high impurity levels. The Furutech cabl... 
Asynchronous USB DAC and USB cable quality
Mceljo,I was referring to potential EMI/RFI interference on the 12ft. USB cable. The printer USB cable construction quality is far behind the Furutech cable design. 
USB printer cable VS USB audiophile grade cable?
Lewinskih01,True for synchronous older DACs, better USB cable will not contribute to additional jitter from incoming PC. However, the majority of newer DACs like Benchmark DAC2 HGC and probably exaSound which you mentionned, use asynchronous clock... 
Incredible album by Laura Mvula
Ghosthouse,Rigth on the money with your Joan Armatrading analogy. In some moments, I think she also sounds like Dionne Warwick. Such a great album by an unknown but talented composer/artist.
