| My experience after lost of 20k$ Interesting article but did not say what the quality is. If it’s mp3 not interested. Wish HD tracks had more selection, too much obscure stuff | |
| My experience after lost of 20k$ In general, don't understand why folks say PC audio sounds awful. I have a hard time with hiss and pop of vinyl. + Bass from vinyl systems can cause feedback at concert level volumes + digital bass just sounds better to me. I have thoroughly enjoy... | |

| SREAMING??? Why not looses rip and playback using JRiver? It’s cheap and A nice app that can be used to connect your pc to iPhone or iPad for play back. | |
| The big DAC decision For what it’s worth I tried a AR dac8 against my Cullen modified PS audio Dac. The AR was very good, very black background but the Cullen was more lively especially with bass so kept it. 8k vs 2k. Need to try home demo to know... | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! Odd i have 20.7 in what should be too small a room. 11.5w 18L and they sound amazing. yes took some placement work, room correction, and tilting downward a hair but the imaging and bass are very good. of course there is a sweet spot but much wider... | |
| Cables more hype than value? I was a none believer until recently. I was using homemade speaker cables using audioquest type 8 wire at 5 feet. Interconnects are 15 feet of Canare /Nutech xlr. My system is magnepan 20.7 with krell amps and AR Ref 5 pre. I auditioned AQ Comet s... | |
| How to get the impact of a live concert? I may be off line here but to replicate say a live kick drum: would not the speaker array need to excite Exactly the same volume of air (both in front and to the rear) at at exactly the same speed, at exactly the same frequencies etc.. as the kick... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps I was just here where you are: Krell MXC350 monos purchased a pre-owned AR Ref5. Back to back comparison to the Krell HTS 7.1. Took some listening. The Wilson WP7 have had a hard, bright, edge to the high range. Ref 5 removed that edge. Some music... | |
| how good is the Krell HTS 7.1 pre-amp for 2ch? Update: purchased a pre-owned AR Ref5. Back to back comparison to the Krell HTS 7.1. Took some listening. The Wilson WP7 have had a hard, bright, edge to the high range. Ref 5 removed that edge. Some music was fatiguing and I could not put my fing... | |

| how good is the Krell HTS 7.1 pre-amp for 2ch? Thanks McIsoind,Audio Research says no issue with their Ref5 pre-amp and the Krell amps. I have found a store willing to let me audition the Ref5 at home. We will see if it makes much of a difference. I actually hope it does. | |
| how good is the Krell HTS 7.1 pre-amp for 2ch? Thanks all for the responses.Sfstereo - I have not cracked the case open, just going by the manual which says take the amps to a dealer for modification or bad things could happen. Do you have some instructions on how to do this? I woudl not know ... | |
| Where would you go after Wilson WP7? I think auditioning a new per-amp is a prudent choice. Certainly the least on the wallet. I have always admired ARC , as i did the original Krell amps. Will give that a go first then if not satisfied go for another full range speaker. Auditioning ... | |
