| How Do You Pronounce Thiel? Women are more frustrating than HI FI, if you can believe or understand that one.Oh yes. | |
| Sub wolfer advice I would call Krell or the dealer, and let them work it out. I wouldn't try anything else (especially some different connection yet IMO) without finding out first. It does have a common speaker ground wire, but shows (REL) hooking it (Neutrik Speak... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 01-24-12: GeoffkaitYou have a keen insight into what others know and appear to have a command of all scientific knowledge and for that you are to be commended. And I suppose this is an appropriate place to thank the original designers of the CD fo... | |
| Sub wolfer advice Before you follow through connecting the Krell to a subwoofer, please read page 2 (PDF reader) under "warnings", at the very beginning of the manual. This is what Almarg was referring to above. Manual link.[http://www.krellonline.com/assets/suppor... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? such as room acoustics and elimination of vibration, that are either overlooked or can't be addressed by the design engineers.Yes, room acoustics, vibration problems, and other variables make perfect sense. This is still dealing with facts that ar... | |
| Paradigm S8 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M 01-24-12: Audiofreakgeekhifivn, what do you have against Paradigm?You quote a review from 2009 on a completely different model!Nothing until they came out with that tweeter that left a lot of sad people. When someone does a test that shows if thes... | |
| Paradigm S8 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M With Paradigm using their aluminum tweeters that give a lot of ultrasonic noise right above 20 kHz in their other models, I would lean toward something else. A lot is said that you can't hear this noise. But, a lot of people cannot tolerate it eit... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? One major problem with a lot of these tweaks is the fact that they are being used on equipment designed by Engineers with known scientific knowledge about how these things work. If they didn't have this known and proven knowledge, we wouldn't have... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? A much more likely explanation, I would think, is that low level broadband noise (i.e., hiss) in the upper treble region is being reduced, and that is being subjectively perceived as a diminution of the highs.I've seen it stated in a number of ar... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Not sure what is going on here. I don't believe in magic. One thing to keep in mind, don't overheat your equipment with this stuff. If that happens, it may go up in a puff of smoke! Just a possible scientific fact here. | |
| Speaker damage from running A big part of the answer to this would be, what the listener does with the volume. A lot of us get by doing this all the time. With movies, it's riskier. In my one system for TV, if I switch my sub on, I hear a lot of deep bass that's there (some ... | |
| Can DAC with volume control act as Pre-amp? There were some good threads in the past about this. Here is a short one (link at end), with the same idea. I've have plenty of gear through my system (a lot of friends that buy and sell sure helps) over the years. I have had mixed results. Most o... | |
| Missing Stereophile Issues??? Yes, got busy and I let my subscription expire! Renewed though! | |
| Back In the Day Yes, I was doing it, possibly more than now. I went through cartridges like water. Also, several turntables, less amps, and speakers. A lot of it may have been bad record pressings, and recordings. If it was popular, they stamped records out (truc... |
