| Options to improve digital sound @mswale thank you for the fact-checking and sanity check đ | |
| How competitive are you with your system? @mihorn In the YouTube listening exercise laid out in your above post, the recording of the Thiel 3.7 sounds closest to the Original, followed by the recording of the Avantgarde. For what it's worth. At the risk of belaboring the obvious, I'm ... | |
| Krell Moves to new location By the way, to anyone's knowledge, has Dan d'Agostino ever publicly commented on this whole dumpster fire? It must chafe to see what happened to his once-revered company. | |
| Krell Moves to new location also, @bulldogger purchased, I quote, "a used Krell KSA-i400 from High Performance Stereo, Steveâs other business, today. Itâs at the Krell factory." High Performance Stereo is in Miami. Krell is in Connecticut. Does that mean High Performance St... | |
| Dealer affiliations and attitudes, assumptions and lack of respectful engagement in audio. if we avoided these sort of arguments, maybe we would be left with more civil discourse based on actual experiences and mutual respect. But thatâs just my opinion, and Iâm wrong all the time. @kerrybh Not this time though. You nailed it right... | |
| Dealer affiliations and attitudes, assumptions and lack of respectful engagement in audio. There are several audio forums where a vast majority of interactions are civil and pleasant. Folks contributing their experience and helping other folks who are in need of some assistance. To be fair, these tend to be specialized forums (fora?) f... | |
| Krell Moves to new location Facebook, sure! When you're a manufacturer of high-end audio equipment, that's where the action is. Definitely. What's Krell's official website again @bulldogger ? | |
| When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall? PS Audio's power regenerators work by converting AC from the wall to DC (just like your amp's power supply does), then converting DC back to AC. So its output stage is essentially a large amplifier outputting a 50 or 60 Hz sine wave at the chosen ... | |
| A principle guiding the wise audiophile life I own a $50,000 setup â and Iâll be the first to tell you, itâs mostly a farce. But does it have good SINAD? I bet it doesn't đ | |
| When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall? Otherwise, straight to the wall so you don't limit current...this is according to Nelson Pass, who also recommends using the power cord that comes with his amps. Nelson who? What? Who dat? What kinda name is Nelson anyways? You gonna trust a du... | |
| Krell Moves to new location @invalid has Krell started manufacturing yet, and are they reestablishing a dealer network? @bulldogger is looking for that information. He is going to let is know as soon as he finds out. | |
| Help please! Something amiss with my digital chain DACs have digital volume controls that use bit stripping to attenuate the sound level. As a result, sound quality deteriorates at low volumes, losing dynamics and clarity. Some digital VCs use 32-bit processing, somewhat mitigating the issue. If ... | |
| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables I donât think that knowing there is better sounding gear out there, that we canât or wonât afford, detracts at all from our enjoyment of what we have... @jl35Â Youâre right - just knowing about it does not. But if we found ourselves in a heads... | |
| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables This brings up an interesting philosophical point: We are all, I think, on a quest for ever better sounding systems. If, like @ghdprentice relates, a person is in a space to discern and appreciate the positive impact a $20K accessory can have on f... | |
| Help please! Something amiss with my digital chain Yes, adding a very good preamp will most likely improve matters as @ghdprentice indicated.  |
