Can you put a Krell in an apartment?
The cabin remark had me rolling. Forget that, Maybe I should sell everything,  run to COSTCO and buy a large TUFF SHED and call an electrician to wire it up. Sound proof it and then throw some D'AGOSTINO RELENTLESS AMPS In there with some WILSONS.... 
Can you put a Krell in an apartment?
I can just see the KRELL taking out all the electric for the whole apartment complex. Lol!! Sounds awesome!!! I am going to move forward with the purchase and see if I can get an electrician over here to run a line from the main box on the apartme... 
Used Levinson 532H or Krell FPB 400CX
That's my dilemma.  Used older Mark Levinson or Krell ( I will have them serviced) or entry level newer stuff. Used ML 334 and Krell FPB 400 going for around 3500 or 4000 .  New used ML 532H or newer used KRELL or PASS going for the same. Is the o... 
The 5 stages of making a bad audio purchase
We are buying STEREO gear that costs as much as cars and homes!!! We are all ADDICTS!!!! The extreme high quality sound we hear from our stereo gear releases gross amounts of endorphins and brain chemicals mimicking the high experienced from heroi...

First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions
Experience the insane imaging of a Vandersteen Model 7 and you will become a believer in time and phase coherence.

Yeah, made famous by ROCKFORD FOSGATE. CAR STEREO. Listen to some dance, rock, electronic with MOSFETS compared to BP . Krell, Mark Levinson the last time I checked aren't using MOSFETS

It's that MOSFET MIST I cannot stand plus MOSFETS are weak in the bass department. That's why I liked the ANDROMEDA. It slammed like a Krell. Who cares about grain. Unless you are running OTL tubes your gonna get it ON ANY SOLID STATE. MOSFETS are... 
Martin Logan ESL 9 CLASSIC
Yes, I am seeking validation for the possible purchase of Martin Logan Esl 9 classic. I have owned several loudspeakers in the past. VANDERSTEEN 4A's( incredible bass slam) Thiel Cs 3.5 ( transparent and neutral), Apogee Duetta Sig( magical midran... 
Martin Logan ESL 9 CLASSIC
It's amazing how expensive this hobby has gotten that a pair of 6500 dollar speakers are not world class. Are the ESL 9 classic comparable to the Ethos?

Ahhh Sumo. Back in the day I had a pair of Vandersteen 2ci's powered by a B&K ST 202 plus. I brought home a Sumo andromeda to compare. The Sumo ( pun intended) crushed the B&K. It really tightened up that rear firing acoustic coupler in th... 
Creek CD50
Thank you for you " goners" input. I plan to use the creek just like you, until I can afford a higher end piece. The Jeff Rowland Model One amp is balanced and has impedance selectors that will help with using this unit in the short term. This is ...

There is a authorized MAC repair shop where I live with TONS of vintage used stuff for sale. I have seen a few HARMON KARDON amps there. I will check them out. They are a lot less money than the ROWLAND and maybe sound as good.

This little amp is a Jewel. Just the way is looks. Thick front faceplate, rounded heatsinks, compact. On the inside, everything is shielded and very clean. You can tell this guy LOVES building amplifiers just by how it is constructed. I have heard...

My thinking is amplifier design had reached maturity by the turn of the century and that any high end amp even if its 30 years old will stand up to anything today as long as it is serviced( new caps etc. Do you guys think anything new out there at...
