Reaction to : Bedini-Ultra Clarifier II
I agree with Sean.By the way Bob B., they say not to use antistatic sprays on SACD's. I don't know why, and wonder if it is OK to use the "green audioprism" pen on the edges of the SACD's.Richard 
What CDP or DAC would you buy with $1,000?
Krell Studio.You can often times find this $3900 processor on the used market for around $1000. Even Krell states that there was only a SLIGHT difference between it and their $14,000 Ref. 64. I compared it to the original maga buck Levinson and co... 
Connectors:Banana's OR Spade's
SPADES, definitely!Many high-end components won't even except bananas.Krell doesn't take bananas.Richard 
What Speaker are Great for Rock and Roll $5K-20K
B&W800's. .. I have the FPB300/KRC-HR driving them. These are the original 800's not the N version. They were actually designed for just your reason. The 801's were not capable of producing the sound pressure levels needed.The 800's will easil... 
After Market Power Cables - Gold or Snake Oil?
Pure Note Sigma: I use to think all this talk about power cables made no sense. But, this relatively inexpensive cable transformed my $60K Krell/B&W system.See my review under Pure Note and go to purenote.comTry it!Richard

Check Robert Harley's book on High-end stereo. He explaines how to figure whether you will have a lot of interactions with the size.Richard

Best power for 10,000
Ludoe,THE BEST EVER MADE??????????????????????????????That is quite a bold statement! Have you heard the Krell Master Reference at $120,000, etc, etc, etc? I think many if not most people would argue with your statement. I even think you would, ha... 
Need monitors with a BIG sound
With your size room, the B&W805's should be wonderful.By the way, whatever bass wave that has a 7' wave may play havic with your room. If so, if possible, you may want to completely line the 14' wall with bookcases to "change" the room dimensi... 
Best Speaker Cable Connectors
All the cables that I have are very difficult to terminate. The Cable Company does a faboulous job!(www.fatwyre.com) You will not do better.Richard 
Polarity with SCD-1

Polarity with SCD-1
My Krell preamp (KRC-HR), has a phase switch that the owners manual says inverts polarity 180 degrees. Will this solve the problem?(By the way all my Krell units have correct polarity with pin 2 being hot. The Sony has pin 3 hot.)Richard
