| RIP Ray Charles In his last concert (I think) here in San Francisco, he was downright rude to the audience.It may have been drug related, as he was a well known heavy heroine addict.Just another side of a great musician.Richard | |
| Ageing Krell KSA150 - repair or replace Definitely, the FPB300 (or 400). I've had both vintages.Richard | |
| Neuance & Zoethecus,EMC-1UP & First Sound Preamp? Neuance! As Gunbei said, it will give you inner detail like nothing else.Richard | |
| Krell Studio vs. Musical Fidelity A3-24 I used the Krell Studio in a very-high-end audio system for about 10 years and then decided to move to SACD. I sold the Krell and bought the Marantz SA-14 SACD player. Before placing it on the Neuance platform, it was much more musical than the Kr... | |
| Ribbon tweeters/speakers recommendations Please Prpixel,Martin-Logans are electrostatic and NOT ribbons. | |
| Speaker Choice: Narrowed down, need final opinions Sorry to give another suggestion that you didn't ask for, but since your previous speakers were B&W:A friend of mine in the high end audio business just traded in his B&W800N signatures (with a Rel sub) for the 805N signatures (with same s... | |
| Speakers along short or long wall Subaruguru,I, too, am a big believer in the equalateral triangle set up. Whether you set up along the long or short wall, is dependant on the type of speaker and such things as the size of the desired soundstage prefered. I like a big soundstage a... | |
| Pure Note Cerulean Tom at Pure Note is one of the best people in high-end audio to deal with! Remember, he has the right, and responsibility to run his business the way he feels is honest and safe.Your not buying (or trying) his product, is more your loss than his.R... | |
| Can you rate these amps for me? I can only address the McIntosh vs. Krell.Years ago I had two 2105's driving a double set of AR-LST's (Cello Amati's). I had this configuration for many, many years. I then bought the Krell KST-100 when it first came out. That one little amp blew ... | |
| Sub to match B&W Sig. 805 A friend uses one of the Rel subs. | |
| 6 weeks with my Marantz SA-14 v.2 SACD/CD player I have the original SA-14, and also find it to be one outstanding player, especially after placing it atop the Neuance platform.http://www.neuanceaudio.com/index.htmlWere you able to make any comparisons with the original?What is in the rest of yo... | |
| Help bi-amp question: do I need an EQ? Dear Bold,Vertical biamping means that you have one stereo amp for each channel.More importantly, NO, you do not need eq now any more than if you were not biamping. Since your amps are of the same brand, and in your case the same amp, they have th... | |
| SACD my thoughts at this time..................... A thought for Trevor:Maybe your player just plays DVD-A better than SACD's.(no opinion is implied)Richard | |
| Pure Note Cerulean Like sonic, I too have been very pro Pure Note. I too have no affiliation with them other that having tested and then buying a lot of their power cords for all of my Krell gear. The improvement was not subtle.Richard | |
| Speakers able to go down to 0.5 ohms? Very few amplifiers are capable of properly driving such a low impedence speaker.I too am not sure what you are really asking. One wouldn't ask what speaker is able to..., but either what speaker does, or what amplifier is able to drive such a spe... |
