| Krell EVO-1, FPB-750MCX or EVO-900 Stick with the 750's; the EVO monos are not that much better and are too expensive! You have great amps! | |
| ss amp synergy w/wilsons I had MAXX 1's with Krell KCT and 750 monoblocks and Transparent cabling and I thought they match was excellent. Wilson used Krell equipment years ago before Krell got into loudspeakers. I have a pair of Rowland Model 6's with batteries driving my... | |
| Miles Davis Prestige albums... I don't have the Japanese pressing but would bet my bottom dollar it would be better, but I do have the New Mile Davis Quintet and love it. Coltrane, Miles, Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones and Red Garland on piano, I think. Excellent album from on... | |
| Room size suitable for which Wilsons? Try Wilson's voicing instructions. Stand with back against wall and speak in a normal voice as you walk out into the room. When you hear your voice decouple off the back wall stop and put a piece of tape on the floor at your toes. Continue to walk... | |
| Bruce at The Super Bowl.... I hope his new album is mixed better than Magic; Magic is the worst sounding vinyl LP I have ever purchased! Be warned! | |
| Krell Standard SACD Player - Drawer won't open This happened twice to my SACD and I had to send it back to Krell to fix. It is the problem with the drawers they use that are different from the original design. I think they have a permanent fix now. Good luck; it won't be the first time Krell h... | |
| Sell Theta DSPro Gen Va??? Can you update a Va to the Generation VIII from Theta? The model VIII is a superb sounding unit and might be the best route to go. | |
| Best high end monitors? Harmonic Precison Caravelles; if you can find them for sale. I had them and they are superb, but were a little too small for the room I have. Excellent sound, smooth highs and very dynamic. They can play very loud without distortion. | |
| Wow I just got the KAB strobe TBG, thanks for your note. I have the SDS speed stabilizer for my VPI and the good news is that I can set each speed separately for 33.3 and 45; which I did with a record and arm and cartridge playing and it did get the speed set more accurately. ... | |
| Wow I just got the KAB strobe Thanks for the additional tips on using the KAB with a record and clamp attached; that would create additonal drag. I will try it today and see if I can get it even closer to the correct rotation speed. | |
| Wow I just got the KAB strobe I agree! I thought my table was set up perfectly but the ease and accuracy of the KAB improved it further. It is well worth the cost and the sound improvement shocking; that little adjustment brought everything into focus and pitch perfect. | |
| Krell Cast cables----Different kind Flashunlock. I don't think your information is correct. If Transparent did make the Krell version it was not to the same standard. The difference in thickness and appearance and most importantly sonics is not even close. As for the new MMF version... | |
| Krell Cast cables----Different kind Don't believe Krell! I owned their equipment for years, loved it and especially loved the CAST system. The Krell CAST cabling sounds terrible. I used the Transparent CAST cable and it was superior; it must be the quality of the copper, the configu... | |
| Isaac Hayes How is the SACD of Hot Buttered Soul since I can't find a vinyl verson? | |
| Anybody Into St. Germain? I have it! My wife gave it to me for Christmas a couple years ago. It was recommended by Music Direct. Great recording and decent music; kind of like European Techno Pop. Marc Moulin "Top Secret" is another excellent recording in the same vain as ... |
