Ways to connect subwoofer?
Thanks for the links Bob. I think this weekend I'll be able to get everything connected. I'll try it with and without the sub and try different configurations as well... 
Ways to connect subwoofer?
Al, never occurred to me to wire it up this way. It should work just fine, but I think I'll try the easy way first and use RCA's all around.Bob, funny you mention Vandersteen because I'd been looking at their passive crossovers due to the length o... 
Ways to connect subwoofer?
Thanks for the replies. I'm leaning towards option one, however, an 80Hz high pass seems a tad bit high.I've read quite a few posts about running the sub in parallel with the main speakers full range, but the NuForce amps are balanced; i.e. the ne... 
Did Krell ever produce an out standing CD player??
I used a Krell DVD Standard for years as a CD player. It sounded fantastic thru the balanced outputs.As Joecasey mentioned, the transport needed replacing eventually. It played CD's fine, just would not play DVD's.Anyway, I sent it in for the HDMI... 
CLEARAUDIO BASIC+ MM MC SWITCH??
The Basic+ has two boxes. The power supply and the pre-amp. The switches can be found on the bottom of the pre-amp box. It's a pushbutton if I remember correctly.If you do not see the swtich at the bottom, try looking at the bottom of the other box. 
Integrated amp for Focal micro utopia be
I've used a krell 400xi on my micro utopia be speakers for over 4 years with excellent results. Wired all the way around by nordost. 
Nordost Quattro Fil is still good
When I compared the QF with Heimdall XLR, I don't recall hearing too much of a difference, but it was on my DAC. Maybe the higher output voltage plus stronger output devices minimized the differences.That's why I didn't think twice about switching... 
Krell Service
I've had two experiences with Krell service and both have been positive. The first was when I bought a 400xi integrated. Living overseas I asked them to unlock 50Hz and 60Hz and they did it for free before sending my amp to the dealer (SBS, NYC). ... 
I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too?
In regards to the PPP, it is not a pure regenerator, but more of a power conditioner. The PPP, from what I understand, tracks the input voltage and makes adjustments to it as needed. There is no regeneration, just conditioning. So in this example,... 
What to replace Nordost speaker cable?
Go4Vinyl, are you serious? You liked them that much? I never auditioned the BH, but maybe I should have! These Heimdall cables have transformed my system into something special. I'm not sure the BH would have the same effect though.Xti16, funny yo... 
What to replace Nordost speaker cable?
Xti16, the 4m length is what made me jump on them. I was waiting and waiting until a 4m Heimdall in shotgun with bananas came up for sale.I actually thought about putting the Red Dawns in real quick, but from what I've been hearing, these are stay... 
What to replace Nordost speaker cable?
New Heimdall cables arrived in the mail today. First impressions are mostly positive. Highs are quite a bit more refined than the Red Dawns. Image focus and soundstage is solid. Not that it wasn't good before, it's just that much better with these... 
What to replace Nordost speaker cable?
Hi Ozzy, your speaker cable construction is very similar to Nordost. They use silver plated conductors in teflon.And most of the reviews I have read parallel what you hear. Well designed silver/teflon cables do not sound bright at all.Moving from ... 
What to replace Nordost speaker cable?
Finally ended up ordering a set of Heimdall speaker cables. Not in my system yet, but I did upgrade a pair of Black Knight RCA's and Quattro Fil XLR's with Heimdall RCA's and XLR's.The Black Knight cables were used from a phono pre to the Krell an...
