Why Is Krell the a bad work???
What were you expecting Retro? This is a gear site. We do discuss music as well, but it is mainly about sharing information on how the gear portrays the music. In other words I understand the music that I listen to but need a little help on the eq... 
The best upgrade I ever made!
Thanks Tkmetz: The wall socket is ten feet from the equipment and I already use an extension cord. A plug in unit sounds easy, but I would also consider having it spliced in at the breaker box to get the unit away from me and my wife as well as th... 
The best upgrade I ever made!
Tkmetz: Can this be utilized in an apartment without a dedicated line? I do have a breaker box located in my apartment that switches the line that I use for my gear and wonder if it could be added at the switch/breaker box. I live in LA (West Holl... 
diy power cord: Shinyata black mamba
You would need to use a wire crimper, and a good one. The web site noted above is probably "homegrownaudio.com". Based on the sites price for the wire the PC would cost approx. $900.00 to make if it were 5" in length and would have very little res... 
What time do you wear?
Very funny story Robba. The clicken clock used to "shock" me awake and now resides in the spare bathroom (my bathroom). Our last guest (my stepdaughter) liked it so much that she ran down the alarm/music battery in a weeks time. The clock may stil... 
silverline sonatina vs soliloquy 5.3
The Soliloquy's also sound very good (better IMO) with tubes. I auditioned them with SS Conrad Johnson and Tube Audio research gear. I would not let that influence your decision. If at all possible try and audition them with your amp or better yet... 
help with power cord
PS: I always forget this when discussing PC's. I suspect that they may make more of a noticeable improvment in systems that are running on not so good juice. I live in an apartment in LA the land of "bad juice" and every cord sounds different in m... 
help with power cord
In regard to the HT Pro 11 PC: I have used one on a CAL player and a Bel Canto DAC and it was a major improvement over each units stock cord. I am currently interested in auditioning the Mapleshade PC ($150.00) for the DAC out of curiosity as I re...

Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever
Nico, when she was young, though she seemed to be empty on the inside. 
Good looking and sounding amp?
PS: The stereo amp would depend on the rest of your gear, your listening room (size) and your musical taste. 
Good looking and sounding amp?
For a five channel amp go to Audioadvisor.com and check out the amp and preamp by Musical fidelity. They are offered at a speacial price of $4K for the pair. Most people really like the looks. I don't personaly, but I do appreciate the design. The... 
Rock? money down the drain?
The whole game is to reproduce whatever you listen to in a satisfying manner. Of course it's OK to spend X amount of dollars on any system, with any souce material. What if your hobby was recording live song birds, insects or waterfalls? Think abo... 
Tell Them What You Think
HWY: Good idea. I had once thought of trying to contact Elton John to see if he would consider having some of his CD work re-mastered. I have heard that he is a perfectionist, but suspect that he lost control of many of the CD issues at the same t... 
Help! Need amp recommendations.......
Hey Doug: Melish posted his want list over a year and a half ago. He probably has a Melos by now:-) David
