Harsh high freqs can result from poorly shielded ICs in a "hot" RF environment (i.e. urban, military, etc.).I had issues like this in Chicago. 
RIP Richie Havens
Loved the way he just played his ass off at Woodstock.Hope he had a good life. 
Rega DAC ...what else should I consider ?
The new Bryston Dac-II is supposed to be the cat's pajammas 
Major upgrade from Rega Apollo: Which one?
The Rega Apollo Provided complete musical satisfaction.Assuming the Saturn is at least as good (at 2.5 times price retail), what is an "epic" improvement in complete musical satisfaction?Mr. Courant, please explain.Perhaps you had a defective Saturn. 
Major upgrade from Rega Apollo: Which one?
I'm using the Oppo 105 and can say it sounds quite good.I'm back with the vaunted BAT VK-300SE and finally have music again (after a five year wait).At this point, the 105 isn't as glorious as my former Apollo but this may be due to its newness.Al... 
Major upgrade from Rega Apollo: Which one?
I've owned the Rega Apollo and the SONY 5400ES.The Rega paired with a BAT VK-300SE integrated was the most musically satisfying system I've owned (Thiel 1.6 speakers).The Sony through an Onkyo SR876 HT receiver was kind of generic sounding. 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
Is this plausible?1. You bought your PSBs used,2. Whomever you purchased from blew out the woofers and had them reconed.3. The new surround is nice and springy when you first start listening but "poops out" when it gets warm,4. Most amps put out m... 
Entry-level speaker cables
Stick with your current wire and save up for some Harmonic Technology Pro-11 or Pro-9 ($300-$500).I've been using Pro-9 for more than ten years and love it. 
Audio Store in Twin Cities?
Any Audio Research dealers?After all, this is their backyard.

Has anyone purchased a krell S 550 I Int amplifier
I've been looking for this amp as well.Nothing on the Krell website and Krell dealers don't have a clue.People standing in line for a $5000 piece of "vaporware"? 
So Many Apogees for sale, and so few takers
Isn't Bob Carver releasing (unleashing?) a new line source?These could be amazing! 
DVD Player with Resume Where Stopped Feature
I think it depends on the format used to create the disk.When watching a movie, I press stop and sometimes a disk will say "Resume" and others will say "Resume Off".The "Resume" disks restart at the stop point.It probably costs a penny more to mak... 
Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly
Give us some details, Mang.Cost per pair?Power?Negative feedback?Any notable parts? Other equipment you've owned (for comparison).Just saying "They're really keen!" isn't enough... 
Acoustic Systems for Audio Research VT100Mk3
If you can play music loud, I recommend ProAc Response-3.I tried some with my VT-100III and thought they were quite good at moderately loud levels.I sold due to living in an apartment at the time.BTW, I'd upgrade the 16 to an LS-25 MkII.P.S. There...
