| Krell 400 lntegrated Hi,I read the above links and despite "test-bench" measurements, I can only say this is a very good sounding and powerful Amp. With that said though, when listening at live performance volumes, the amp does get very hot. My speakers are rated to b... | |
| Krell 400 lntegrated Hi,I too have owned this Krell for years. It sounds fantastic and has incredible power reserves, 200W into 8 ohms and 400W into 4 ohms! I had it serviced once by Krell when the credit card type remote stopped working. I talked to the service manag... | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? Hi,Have had TIDAL for about five months now, dropped my Spotify subscription, stopped purchasing CD's and have never looked back!

| Reliabilty, Keeping Equipment Powered on or off? Hi, and thank you!After digesting the posts above, I will be powering everything down with the exception of the Krell.

| The demise of the music CD inevitable? I think Vinyl may outlast the CD. My Fathers system spins mostly Vinyl and he loves it, and I must admit, depending on the quality of the recording, sounds pretty good. However, its a "Zen" like process he goes through prepping his vinyl for playb... | |
| The demise of the music CD inevitable? For the first time I downloaded a free demonstration recording 96/24 file from ProStudioMasters. It sounded fantastic, and to my ears, much better than lower resolution CD. The only problem I see with high res downloads is the huge amount of Disk ... | |
| The demise of the music CD inevitable? Hi all,Yes, lowrider57, you noticed exactly what I have observed myself, he never purchased a CD and... likely never will. I honestly think those who still purchase CD's or Vinyl will one day be the exception. I predict there may be a huge step ch... | |
| The demise of the music CD inevitable? Hi,More to my point, the current generation, most of my friends do not even own CDP's unlike myself who agrees CD sounds great. That said, about 90% of my listening is TIDAL streaming, so close to CD in SQ I have no desire to purchase CD's anymore. | |

| pc computer used under $500.00 for music only If you feel comfortable, I would build a "Music Rig" PC. I have built two PC's, one for gaming and one for audio streaming. The price of the gaming rig is way beyond your price point and is totally unnecessary for audio. For audio however, you do ... | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? Since being armed with TIDAL, I no longer find myself purchasing CD's or going to the library in search of new music.
