| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume Amphion. I have the Argon one’s and a similar listening situation.I am using them with a Naim Unity atom, as a streamer mostly. Kimber 8tc cables. An amazingly good set up. I listen to a wide range of music genres. | |
| Please be gentle with me! 🙏 I have two systems. One has varied front end source options. Vinyl, Cd, streaming, music storage. I have a Bryston (BDP3) music player with a one TB  storage installed into a Bryston DAC. I can stream music (I have a few services but use mostly T... | |

I can play vinyl, CD’s, Stream music and have Hi-Rez on a dedicated hard drive via a Bryston BDP3, Bryston DAC. Krell, Rel, Revel, CJ, Rega, Blue Heaven cabling throughout. Sounds great to me.

| How is Quality and Customer Service defined in the 21st Century? I have encountered only one quality issue. Regardless, it is customer service that really counts. Several years ago, I had a failing Krell…it was a rather old model amp suffering its age. The folks at Krell couldn’t have been nicer or more accommo... | |
| Should I Sell My ARC REF 6 and Get A Pass Labs XP-32 Perhaps some simple reasoning.  “I love my ARC REF 6.  It's a great piece of equipment..” you have achieved something many of us strive for! A piece of equipment that in the context of your system, you LOVE! But like many relationships, there’s ... | |
| BOOKSHELF SPEAKER RECOMMENDATION Look into Amphion. also consider one or two small subs (baby REL?) with Eight inch woofers. | |

| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising?  knotscott 353 posts 09-25-2022 at 11:21am The only "authentic" sound is what the guys in the studio heard. Bingo....the true meaning of "Hi-fi" refers to the original sound as recorded. Everything downstream of that is variation of so... | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement Sorry. I am not sure I get this “comparison” issue. Firstly, anyone listening to any piece of equipment is comparing what they are hearing to everything they have listened to previously. Experience counts. I would love to know what benefit is de... | |

I go with on line or brick and mortar sellers. Used, open box, factory refurbished or just on... | |
| Krell anticipator circuits of the 1990s Where’d this “anticipator circuit” come from? I also don’t think any “green revolution” is impacting class A amplifier design and production. Anymore than it is driving development or sales of  class A/B,D etc…. As I see it, Krell has been attem... | |

| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? I hear you. This is what a lot of audiophiles suffer. pursuit of the holy grail, that unicorn of perfection. I can’t tell you how many of the greatest recording engineers, mixers, mastering engineers and producers, agree on one thing. Rely on y... | |
| Krell anticipator circuits of the 1990s Maybe Martin Collums in his Stereophile review, gets it. “Krell's regulation feature is still more impressive when you take into account Krell's "Sustained Plateau Biasing," a patented Krell technique that provides an effective equivalent to clas... |
