| Cheap Canadians I suspect the reason you are seeing the Canadian equipment for so cheap is the exchange rate between our currencies. While in Vancouver last summer I picked up a Bryston 3B amp for a friend brand new from a dealer there. It cost me only $1100 and ... | |
| Krell KCT vs other top preamps ? There is so much Krell for sale because they sell more than most high end manufacturers, so they will also have more sales in the secondary market. Like me, many of those owners are probably upgrading to something newer or more powerful. So what a... | |
| Album Sides You nailed some great ones with Blonde on Blonde, Abbey Road (my all time favorite album side) and Moondance(I play that at least one a week). Being a stones fan, I love side one of Exile on Main Street(Rocks off, etc...) and side 4 of same album.... | |
| Krell KCT vs other top preamps ? The first thing to consider is the equipment you have presently and whether it will mate well with the Krell. I love Paul's definitive objection to Krell...don't believe it. Listen with your own ears. I am very familiar with the Levinson preamps a... | |
| Pink Floyd - The Wall Sony 2000 Is that copy of the The Wall on Sony 2000 a SuperBit mapping remaster? I have a number of the Sony SuperBit remasters and for standard CD they are among the best sonically I have. Good Luck! | |
| Suggestions for Cables all with Krell I presently own the Krell KPS-25SC, FPB-650MC's, Wilson Watt/Puppies 5.1's and use Transparent Reference cabling throughout and have for many years. I tried the Cardas, XLO and Audioquest and I preferred the soundstage, bass control, and dead quie... | |
| Jeff Rowland Consummate Preamp Sam, I unfortunately have no experience with the Spectron equipment and have only heard the Gallo satellite speakers in audio shop. Sorry I can't give you more info than that. I sold mine to go to the one box CD and preamp with Krell when I bought... | |
| Jeff Rowland Consummate Preamp I owned this particular preamp for years when I had my old Krell KSA-250 amp, but then upgraded to the Krell KPS-25SC playback system and FPB. You don't see many for sale because it is a fantastic pre-amp. Very musical for solid state, but without... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword Gentlemen, as a user of Krell equipment with great success for almost ten years I can attest that Krell equipment is ruthless at revealing any weakness in your chain of equipment. It ALL starts with a good front end, whether digital or analog. If ... | |
| Stones Remasters I didn't know that Fred and Barney have been remastered! How does Betty sound remastered. I always had a thing for Betty. Anyone know? | |
| Most reliable equipment manufacturers To nedgillette, I have never heard of anyone complaining about failure rates on Krell equipment. I know many people into high end with Krell and all love it. Why don't you e-mail me your proof. I'd like to see it. As for why have I bought three am... | |
| Is Museatex/Meitner in business? Last I heard, Meitner was bought by the same company that owned ADS speaker, which I am not sure is even in business. If you check another thread about the 101amps you will see my remorse for letting the P6i preamp and MTR 101 monoblock amplifiers... | |
| Most reliable equipment manufacturers Krell. Have owned several pieces over the past ten years and never have had a problem with reliability. Built like a tank. I have to laugh at those who think Krell is not Class A. They must have other equipment limiting the capability of Krell. It... | |
| Opinions on Meitner MTR-101 Amps??? Rackon, I am late to the party on comments, but I owned the P6i preamp and 101 monos for several years. Had them as my second system up until I went hometheater and now wish I hadn't sold them to a friend. They are superb sounding amps with a lot ... | |
| WILSON WATT 5.1 I use the Transparent Reference interconnect and speaker cable with my Wilson 5.1's and Krell and have loved the sound. Try using the same brand cable throughout your system for best results and try a few different brands. Make sure all cables hav... |
