| MIT Oracle AC 3 Yes, I have owned many MIT PC's and IC's, including the new Oracle ZMKIII non-networked reference power cable. I am using one now on my SACD Standard V3...WOW!! This cable is a sleeper; Exceptional dynamics and dynamic contrasts, vanishingly low d... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones I loved 8 track....you could hear some of the other program material bleeding through during track changes and part of me always wondered exactly what WAS going to come on next! Those were the days my friends; Chunky, clunky and funky. | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . I may have not mentioned the obvious point that Fuse replacement would be more of a "last on the list" type tweak. All my comments are based upon that idea:) | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . Remove old fuse and put boutique fuse in, then listen. Take fuse out, put old fuse back in and listen again. Remember to reverse direction of fuses every other time as well. Repeat as many times as necessary until you decide which is better. If yo... | |
| components vs integrated vs "lifestyle solutions" Yup, I've owned several $50K systems over the years and have found myself enjoying my 400xi, Resolution 2 speakers and SACD standard MKIII front end more than anything I've ever had. Lowered expectations combined with lower cost may have something... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Rodman99999 says it well! I wonder how many audiophiles are grounded in the sense of having experienced live music on a regular basis and or have had the opportunity to experience various venue acoustics. The room your in is the main component of ... | |
| Krell KAV400 VS Musical Fidelity A300 A 3.2 A3.5 Elberoth2, I did further investigation with krell and there are multiple oversized polypropelyne capacitors in the ACT crossovers of the Resolution series speakers for maximum current handling and power delivery...happens to lower inductance as we... | |
| Krell KAV400 VS Musical Fidelity A300 A 3.2 A3.5 Exactly, the Avalon/Boulder combo has a great sense of aliveness and dynamic contrasts not unlike what I've experienced with Krell components and many great speaker systems. I must admit i wish I still had my FPB600...that was glorious:) | |
| Krell KAV400 VS Musical Fidelity A300 A 3.2 A3.5 I have found the krell to give you a garbage in garbage out effect...darkness is not endemic to the unit either. It IS rather dependant on the ancillaries and cabling. As for the volume control issue, I have always sought out a preamp/gain stage t... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones This stuff is all in good fun and in this case cheap! On any given day whilst deeply involved in the music one may not even care which fuse is in use. Then again perceptions are everything sometimes. | |
| Krell KAV400 VS Musical Fidelity A300 A 3.2 A3.5 Elberoth2, I was told that they tended to store energy. Perhaps what my dealer meant was that they pass on the signal more efficiently thereby acting as if they were providing more energy on demand. I have noted that they seem to be easier to driv... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Agreed! | |
| Krell KAV400 VS Musical Fidelity A300 A 3.2 A3.5 Audiofeil continues his generalizations while not getting directly involved in the topic at hand. Call MIT or Krell and ask them yourself. Again, I state that Audiofeil is all about Audiofeil and what he has to sell. By the way, many excellent rev... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones No wine, several days of listening and short term comparisons plus using familiar material and passages repeatably. Experiences are mine and should be considered suspect until validated by an official oversite commitee committed to the advancement... | |
| Krell KAV400 VS Musical Fidelity A300 A 3.2 A3.5 MIT Oracle cables are a completely different animal than Transparent. I've owned both myself. The Oracle speaker cables do have caps in them and do store energy for quick release per my discussion with one of their representatives. The Krell cross... |
