| Dire Straits Remasters Hey MPrime,You must live in Berkeley or somewhere in the East Bay. I just moved away from Lafayette last year and Amoeba records is sorely missed. Great selections of music, many imports and very reasonable prices. I think FIM music does an XRCD o... | |
| Dire Straits Remasters I have the JVC XRCD 2 remaster of Brothers in Arms and it is the best of the redbook CDs I have of this album. The Vertigo is the next best. I believe it is due to the better manufacturing process used by Vertigo than by Columbia. Believe it or no... | |
| Dire Straits Remasters If you think the Columbia remasters of the Dire Straits are good, you should look for the imports of Dire Straits SBM remastered on Vertigo. These remasters are far superior to the Columbia versions. I have owned both and dumped the Columbia versi... | |
| Tell us compliments received on your system... My Bose Music wave radio sounds as good as this! And, pointing to my Krell 650mono amps between my Wilson MAXX speakers, "Boy, I can't believe the sound that comes out of those odd looking speakers in the middle there!" | |
| Von Gaylord legend Speakers My friend bought a pair to go with the Legend tube amps and they are amazing. I would listen to the Caravelles from Harmonic Precision. www.audiopoints.com will get you to the information on that speaker. Another friend just bought the Caravelles ... | |
| Building Amp Stands With equipment like yours, you should audition the Sistrum stands with your amps. When you hear how they will open the soundstage you will be blown away. They have a 100% money back guarantee and it is worth a listen. Talk to Robert at Sistrum and... | |
| Who can service my Krell KSA100S As a former Krell owner who only had to used the Krell service to upgrade my old 600 to cast, I wouldn't trust anyone else except a local Krell dealer trained in repairs to fix a Krell. Especially if you can avoid the shipping cost each way by bri... | |
| Anyone visit the VAC display at the Home Th. Show Wow! Two polar extremes on the reviews! I need to hear from more to make a value judgement. Thanks for your opinions. | |

| Best Rock Video - Sound Quality and Content Check out Bruce Springsteen and the E street Band; Live in Barcelona. Great sonics, excellent performance and good camera work. Eagles; "When Hell Freezes Over" specifically the DTS version. | |
| What to match with Watt Puppy 5's I had the Watt/Puppies 5.1's and ran them with the Krell KRC-HR and FPB300, then FPB-600 (far superior to 300) with Transparent Reference. I now have the MAXX with KPS-25SC and 650MC's and CAST by Transparent and Transparent Reference XL speaker c... | |
| Krell FPB300CX or FPB600 to my B&W N802 I have owned Krell forever starting with the KSA 250, then the FPB300, the FPB600 and now the FPB 600MC mono's. I had the old B&W801's with my Krell 250, then the 300. I would spring for the 600FPB because sonically it is better than the 300FP... | |
| Rolling Stones to release ten albums on vinyl. Yes, they are the result of the DSD remaster and can be pre ordered at redtrumpet.com. They are from the ABKO label. | |
| Krell Master Reference Amplifier Dear CCHP, the newer 700cx and 750cx Krell amps are using some of the technology found in the Master Reference and I wonder if you could get near the quality at a fraction of the cost of the Master? It's worth a listen. I've owned the 600C and now... | |
