My speakers don't "dissapear"
Since my first set of Red Dawn cables were damaged I had another set on order. In the meantime (for most of this thread) I was unsing DIY cables and finally, this morning, I replaced them with red dawn revision II, 2 meter cables.All I can say is ... 
PS Audio P300 or Cardas Golden Reference?
I'm with Countingbackwards on this one. Buy the power conditioner. I use a p-500 with a Krell DVD Standard and it sounds great. I bought the power conditioner to bypass the frequency lockout since I live overseas, but my unit works on 50 or 60 Hz.... 
My speakers don't "dissapear"
With all the suggestions I received, my system is getting dialed in just right. I am starting to notice a few things here and there though, but really, I'm nit picking now.When auditioning equipment at the dealer, all my listening was done on a ch... 
My speakers don't "dissapear"
Well, here is what I did. I tried most all suggestions, but the three that worked best for me were these:1. Move speakers more forward, away from the plasma TV. Coffee table has magazines and other objects on it already to diffuse any reflections.... 
My speakers don't "dissapear"
The way my house is built is rather unconventional. The living area is open to the dining area, but in a diagonal fashion. So the way it is set up now, there is no rear wall. The speakers are about a foot and a half away from the side walls. The s... 
My speakers don't "dissapear"
22 posts in one day! wow.I read thru all the posts and a few of them stood out:1. Yes I have the speakers on either side of a plasta TV, but the speakers are about a foot in front of the TV stand.2. Yes, I have a coffee table. A big one too. Rug u... 
Krell SACD, DVD Standard, Showcase, KAV 280CD
I have seen the values for switching the voltage on the Krell units. I'm keeping mine on the transformer since I run it in balanced mode. It's a 1000VA unit and it only runs the amp. The PS Audio p500 will run my front end.Ethan, a quick google se... 
Krell SACD, DVD Standard, Showcase, KAV 280CD
My DVD Standard arrived yesterday and since I live overseas, I also picked up a PS Audio P500 Regenerator to deal with the 50Hz issue. Needless to say I plugged the DVD unit into my transformer and it worked! It runs on 120v/50Hz just fine. I'm st... 
want to build a 2 channel system where do i start
I just spent a little less than $15K on my new system. I did pretty much exactly what these people suggest. I listened and listened and listened. On the fist day alone, I think I went thru about 10 pairs of speakers and about 5 amps in just about ... 
Sub for Focal Micro's
I would say my budget is less than $2K, used or new does not matter to me.My room is rather large, but because of how my system is set up, I would need a smallish woofer. 12" max.I'll take a look at the Electra 1000, Audio Physic, and Velodyne DD1... 
Krell SACD, DVD Standard, Showcase, KAV 280CD
Well, I picked up a DVD Standard and will be having it shipped out soon. From what I have read, it comes close to the SACD standard on Redbook CD's and gives me DVD video as well. My only problem now is getting it to work on 50Hz. I may just get a... 
Krell SACD, DVD Standard, Showcase, KAV 280CD
I was aware of the problems associated with the SACD, but I didn't realize the DVD standard had similar issues. Definitely something I will have to keep in mind. Thanks for the input Arbuckle, the reviews for the 280 are all positive, if a little ... 
Krell SACD, DVD Standard, Showcase, KAV 280CD
I came to the same conclusion as Sunset_ranch and out of the four I eliminated the 280CD and Showcase DVD. I was debating between the SACD and DVD standard and it's more of an availability thing now. I understand the SACD sounds wonderful on CD's,...
