Krell Evo 600 issues/replacement advice
@artcam I would say that most likely Dave Goodman designed your amp, he designed more krell amps than Dan did.  
15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit
@speelerr my krell ksa 300s has a 20 amp breaker it doesn't have any fuses.  
15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit
@speelerr  I must be misunderstanding your post, most breakers have a trip curve chart, a 15 amp circuit breaker will not trip at 15 amps for a certain time period, which means your equipment could actually draw many times that 15 amps and not tri... 
15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit
@speelerr  tripping the breaker is a separate issue, an amplifier can draw huge amounts of current for very short durations, which will not tripp the breaker, but it will cause a voltage drop.   
No Wonder You Spend So Much Money On Stereo Equipment
  the music plays the band"  ...I love that   This reminds me of the Guy Clark song The Guitar.      
15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit
@jea48 That's the best advice I have read on this thread.  
15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit
@joshziggie2021 what you looked up is correct, but some people would say you could get a ground loop from two different legs, though I have never had this happen. There definitely is voltage drop with a 15 amp circuit, stereophile measures it all ... 
15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit
@joshziggie2021 Don't lisen to @impaler he doesn't know what he is talking about, you will get better performance from your equipment with dedicated 20 amp  circuits. The problem with people who use math on this type of problem is they don't reali... 
Amp Stands - Wood or Stone
@jasonbourne71  you really can't hear a difference even with tube equipment , I find that hard to believe.  
Need suggestions on preamp
@jasonbourne71   It's hard to get accurate measurements on speakers like magnepans, as anyone with any experience measuring them knows.  
need to purchase a calibrated , small signal tube tester-why so difficult?!
Space tech lab has several tube testers starting at under $900  
Transparent Audio power cords
@squared80  How do you know, I'm sure you never tried any better power cords than stock.  
Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping?
I am considering bi-amping my apogee duetta 2 speakers, I think they are a good candidate for bi-amping. There is a lot of information on bi-amping apogee speakers, and they are set up for it also, with some changing of cables in the crossovers.  
Is Mark Levinson still considered up there with the best of the best?
@lynn_olson  The designers don't always get to build the amp exactly the way they want to, when working for a manufacturer. I've heard Nelson pass say that when designing an amplifier for other companies they changed this and that to meet budget.  
Is Recording quality the real culprit?
@mapman Science and technology provides the tools used to both create and playback recordings.    That part is not an art.   There are right ways and wrong ways to do it. Is that why designing equipment is called State of the art?
