| Tube-pre and interconnect match for Krell FPB-300 I have heard you cannot use a tube preamp with the Krell FPB-300, without opening the amp up and flipping a switch. I spoke with an engineer at Krell, who told me that this switch, when turned off, cuts out an integral part of the amplifier. I bel... | |
| B&W Nautilus Update? I heard much the same thing. Apparently, the tweeter on the 700 series is actually nicer than the 800 series. The tweets are similar to the signature series. He informed me that the 800 series will be updated soon. Personally, I find it hard to be... | |
| Mom and pop garage audiophile caliber gear Innersound ESL 300 ($2999). This amp shocked me how nice it was for the money. I put it up against an FPB-300, Krell. The krell just barely edged it out in power. The Krell also slightly edged it out in quality. The biggest differnce was at a lowe... | |

| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? Personally, I don't think tubes are more pleasing to my ears; which I understand is a reflection of my own taste. However, couldn't the same effects (lack of listening fatigue, warmer sound, etc.) be achieved by changing the characteristics of the... | |
| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? I forgot to mention something. Tube equipment lacks dynamic range; an essential aspect of music. | |
| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? Tubes are an absolute joke. I simply cannot believe anyone would be foolish enough to invest in inferior equipment. I have listened to both, and determined that solid state is the way to go. Also, I am not interested in replacing tubes every 18mos... |
