Is Digital actually better than Analog?
Tastes change. I went from a Krell setup that as I used all digital with to a tube setup that I only play analog on. I do not believe there is a right way to enjoy music. What is right for one is wrong for others. I do get a kick out of people who... 
WOULD LIKE TO RECABLE LOOKING FOR HELP
I agree with the above statement that cast is not that great compared to good balanced cables. The best I can say about cast is they are relatively cheap. I compared many cables in my Krell system (no longer own). My favorite match were a pair of ...

Tuntable not working with wood floors..Help
Can you hang it from the ceiling? If not what about mounting a shelf to the wall? 
Want to get into Analog but i do not have a preamp
Do you still have the placette? If not that's too bad. In my opinion you can't skimp on a preamp. I am a CAT lover. There is one available at http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preatube&1159761267This one also has the built in phono pre. A... 
Dilemma of Warped LPs - is seller liable?
I purchased a tull record for $65.00 from a large seller on ebay that was sealed. He even puts in his ads that because the record was sealed he gives no warranty and you can't return it. Ebay did not agree with the seller and forced him to refund ... 
what is the proper protocol
With out a doubt, I would wait to be reimbursed from the shipping company. This is only fair. Otherwise the package could be found and delivered. 
Packing list for VPI Scout?
There should have been a manual and two small yellow handled allen wrenches as well as an allignment jig. I am going by memory. These items were definately included. I think that is everything. 
Trying out a tube preamp
I was running an all Krell system. I started with a Convergent Audio Technologies (CAT) Signature MK III. I tried a Cnary 903 and have since gone to a CAT Ultimate MK II. I really like the CAT stuff. I opted to go with the one without the phono as... 
Subwoofer strange noise
Sounds like it is being overdriven to me. This is a very small low powered sub. Good luck. 
Mixed Results from My Hifi
Its called digititus, I used to get it really bad. In my opinion the only cure is to get into vinyl. I no longer have a digital source in my system. I know people who own very expensive players or transport/DAC setups (Riemyo CDP-777, Esoteric X-0... 
JC1, Pass X250.5, CJ Premier 350, Krell 300cx
My recommendation goes to the Krell. It is 300 watts of Class A power. The other two amps switch to AB. My brother had a 250 pass - did not compare to the Krell. They are all fine amps. My first choice of the three mentioned would be the Krell. Go... 
I think it is time to retire
I'm sorry people find my thread mean spirited. To me the music coming from many of the people I named is pathetic. I just bought the new Gilmore. I would rather listen to the Chipmunk Christmas album. Like so many of these artists the Gilmore albu... 
previous KSL owners
That is a very old preamp. My brother owned one back when I owned my KBL. I found it to be 90% of the performance of my KBL. This was if anything a bit on the warm side. I would be willing to bet your KSL needs recapped. Call the Krell service dep...

I have been using the zerodust for 2.5 years with great results for day to day use. I still from time to time like to use my brush cleaner. I would also like to point out that Riffer is cleaning it wrong. I remove the gell from the little box and ...
