| How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter +1 noromance .👍 | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? Given the money pit that this hobby can quickly become my advice would be not to say anything about the system. If your friend is happy with its sound that's all that counts. | |
| Krell Moves to new location From what I understand about probate, nothing can be done in regard to Rondi D'agostino's Estate until the probate court acknoledges who the administrators for her Estate are. Until then any audio equipment held by her company will remain with t... | |
| What's going on at Krell McIntosh gear has always been excellent. I still have my MR65B, the first stereo tube FM tuner that the company ever manufactured, and it sounds great. I even have a second MR65B for spare parts. The only Krell gear I ever owned was a first ge... | |
| What's going on at Krell I can attest to the increased times that many probates have taken (still waiting on a Family member's for nearly two years). The Covid 19 debacle and the myriad of deaths that it caused so suddenly have completely backed up the probate courts in... | |
| Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update Life is short and you should find happiness in it wherever you can. For some billionaire a million dollar audio system is mere pocket change. But for someone who really can't afford it yet sacrifices to do so, it can become the proverbial albatros... | |
| Does old-fashioned necessarily mean out of date? After more than fifty years in this hobby the most important thing that I have learned about it is to trust your own ears over objective testing, and to take audio reviews with a grain of sand, since most are heavily biased for one reason or anoth... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? For the money my Quicksilver Audio Mini Mite tube monoblocks. I’ve had mine for 18 years and for $998 US dollars (in 2006 dollars), they remain the best dollar to performance value I have spent in this hobby. As Sam Tellig wrote in his 2001 review... | |
| DarTzeel’s new direction IMHO, the super hi-end of audio has always catered to a very small group of wealthy audio enthusiasts who have the financial wherewithal to purchase whatever they want. Mostly they want to be able to purchase limited production products that will ... | |
| CD Player: Vintage or modern ones? It depends on the quality of the CD player. The old Naim CDi that I inherited from my late Dad (RIP Dad 💔) is built like a tank and still sounds great over 30 years after it was manufactured. Of course the CDi would cost over $9000 today factoring... | |
| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear I've been in this hobby for more than fifty years and have owned quite a bit of Hi-Fi gear; both solid state and tube. Solid state gear has come along way from the late 1960's when its sound was one dimensional and flat. Gone was the bloom of t... | |
| Anyone remember the days before bells and whistles! Still have a basic British system that sounds great decades after it was contemporary. Naim CDi, Naim Nait 2 and Linn Kan I's. 👍 | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! I remember back in the 1980's when CDs became popular and the belief was that turntables would no longer be necessary. Today turntables and vinyl are more popular than ever. When streaming became the new norm the belief was that CD players had be... | |
| Help - is Krell dead? So sorry to hear about Rondi’s tragic passing. She and Dan built Krell into the legendary company that it became. I did not know that Rhondi had gone back to working for them after she and Dan left Krell several years ago, the result of a dispute ... | |
| No replaement PCBs for Krell Evo series What about other sources for the PCB's or are they proprietary to Krell? |
