How many things do you have plugged in?
Lets count, one for each mono, one for the preamp, and one for the CDP! Grand total of 4 
Potential problem with sale.
Jeff, I sold a Krell KRC-3 to a guy last year. It was in like new condition with original box,warranty etc. Worked perfectly in my system. Diconected it , packed it and shipped to the next state over which UPS delivered the very next day! He calls... 
CAT or BAT????
I would have to argue with above comments. I have owned my VK-50SE along with the Electrocompaniet mk2, BAT VK-60 monoblock and a pair of Verity Audio Parsifal Encore speakers for just over a year. I auditioned more then a couple of pre amps befor... 
Verity Parsifal Encore opinions
I have had mine for about nine months now. I am driving them with the new Music Reference RM-200, BAT VK50 preamp and the Electocompaniet mk2 CDP. I auditioned the new Virgo 3's( very dissappointed, did not sound like a full range speaker, lacked ... 
IC's for Electrocompaniet EMC1
I auditioned a bunch of interconnects with my EMC1 mk2 such as Acoustic Zen Silver, Cardas Golden Reference, Nordost Quatrofill and purchased a pair of Siltech SQ88-B Gold balanced interconnects. Very transparent and pure. More musical than the ot... 
"New" AP Virgo spk: Improved or Diminished ??
The dealer I auditioned the speakers from told me they had the speakers running almost twenty four hours a day for a little over two weeks. I would assume that the speakers I auditioned were broken in, or at least most of the way there. 
"New" AP Virgo spk: Improved or Diminished ??
I auditioned a pair just after they came out and was not very impressed overall. They are very transparant which I liked very much and did the AP dissapearing act as most of there speakers do. To me, they did not sound like a full range speaker, s... 
PayPal may be in trouble......
PayPal is a joke! Your tranaaction is NOT secure when you use there service. I purchased a pair of interconnects on Audiogon five months ago. I paid with paypal and gave the seller my name, address and FedEx number to ship them. Cables never showe... 
Any Verity Fidelio owners who tried using a sub?
I auditioned the Fidelio's and ended up getting a pair of Parsifal Encores only because I was placing the speakers way into the room. My understanding is that because of the rear firing woofer they need to be somewhat close to the rear wall to rea... 
Audio Physic Virgo- What Power do you use?
I auditioned a pair of Virgo 3's right after they came out. I had them in my system for about four days. I was driving them with a BAT VK75SE(tube amp). Although I did not purchase a pair, I did NOT feel that the BAT was under powered at all, plen... 
Best Used CD Player for 2,500 - 3,000
All good choices, but you should add a Electrocompaniet to your list. I have seen the mk1's listed for around $2200.00 and the mk2's for around $3000.00. Many people think it could be the best single box cd player around, I would have to agree! Go... 
Can we use TUBE PREAMP with SS AMP ?
Check the Krell manual or with Krell. I had a FBP200C and remember that there is something inside the amp that must be switched before you can use a tube preamp. It has been awhile since I owned the amp, but I would check first. 
BAT-VK60 or Art Audio Jota --mono amps?
Thanks to everyone for there time and expertise it really helps. 
Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4
I would have to go all jazz. There are many types to keep it fresh and interesting. Everything from classic jazz to acid jazz and everything in between----ya, jazz! 
Cary 306/200 or Electrocopaniet EMC-1??
I think it depends on what you have in your system. I have a ECM-1mk2 and love it. It can image like nothing I have ever heard before. Huge sound stage and very, very smooth. Musical is the term I would use to describe it, very engaging. It does a...
