| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , Well you are sending the Krell amp in for some maintenance, now would be a good time to have them modify the amp and add a IEC input!!! Comparing power cords from the mid 90's to today's cords is like comparing Tara Labs cables from the mid 90's t... | |
| Why does an audiophile grade power cord matter? Why do cables or NOS tubes matter? It's the same thing as in most of audio, it cannot be explained, only heard or not heard. I didn't buy the fact that a power cord could make a difference either, but listening has changed my opinions. If you can'... | |

| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , @Waxwaves, Elrod cords are bargains on today's market. They are older designs, but still sound incredible. In fact I have an Elrod EPS-2 Signature on my Cary SLP-98P preamp. I actually had it on my CDP and the sound was so good that it made me won... | |

| Neutral or warm? Which do you prefer? I have to challenge all of these calls for 'neutral', as to me, 'neutral' is an ambiguous reference. However, many times on these boards, 'neutral' is used to refer to gear that is 'transparent', or gear that artificially brightens the upper midra... | |
| Neutral or warm? Which do you prefer? I believe in balance, usually I can make just about any gear work. Take the neutral speakers and run some nice organic electronics. Then take the warm speakers and run some revealing electronics. The outcome will sound similar.I like my sound tota... | |

| Cables more hype than value? My wife and kids don't give me strange looks anymore, they have adapted to my insanity. My wife will allow that my system sounds 'very nice' if pushed, but I know that she thinks it is a huge waste of money on the inside. So we just don't talk abo... | |
