| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition CJ Classic II Into a Krell KST 100. Good sound but given mismatch in output/input need attenuators in front of the Krell inputs. (Recommended by a CJ tech). Current CJ replaced an old CJ PV 10A. Interestingly, both purchased new suffered a blown... | |
| Help! need informed opinion Well already some speakers to look into.The Revels and Aerials are top of my budget (without sub).Electronics are set.CJ classic II pre, Krell SS 135 Watts, Digital is Bryston (BDP 3, BDA 3 and BOT . I use Roon). Rega RP 6, analog. Room treatments... | |
| Help! need informed opinion Some help.Room is ‘14 by 16’ and unfortunately, one side wall and the rear wall lots of windows. Wall behind speakers is solid and one side wall also solid. Ceiling is high 12’Listening position should be up to 10’ max. Speakers can go 12” to say,... | |
| The smallest tube amp Can you take your $2400 “complete separate system” and your music library on an airplane and listen to it or lie in bed anywhere in the world and “get likely better sound?”Comparing these players to the iPod is like comparing the iPod to the littl... | |
| Help with Audience "The ONE" Have you considered adding a subwoofer instead of changing out amps? | |
| Quicksilver Headphone Amp Anyone pairing Audeze XC10’s‘ with the Quicksilver. | |
| Audiophile Loudness Wars—Too Much again!? Someone mentioned component matching.I agree much of the issue centers on this. Especially if you are mixing tubes and solid state pre amps and amps. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. OK--could use some advice. I am currently using a Krell KST-100. (solid state) Amplifier since around 1992. I think age is setting in--getting first signs via noise/static like through speakers. I have isolated the Krell.What can I expect to pay f... | |
| Interesting (or not) dilemma Thanks--you guys have made me think about this with better perspective. I gotta do something about the room.The funny thing about the "issue" is the problem only occurs on certain recordings and specific pieces of music on those recordings.For eg-... | |
| Interesting (or not) dilemma Ahhhh--easier said than done! You guys are on target though. I moved out from the back wall by a foot and overall sound improves.I am stuck --untilI can have a dedicated listening room.I still wonder if adding a small sub would smooth things out. ... | |
| Adding storage to digital player ThanksI was leaning toward the SSD. Your advice sounds solid. Storage issue is interesting and important. I will look around the site.Right now hi Rez downloads are stored on the MAC I also convert any mp3 to aiff.Also much of the music is stored ... | |
| Bizarre issue (Audio Alchemy) I did exchange e-mails with Mr Madnick. He suggested some actions (manipulating the volume control etc) while the problem was occurring. All to no avail. He was unable to think of any possible cause or solution. Audio Advisor was also unable "thin... | |
| conrad johnson preamps Likely a combination of things. I used a pv10 A for a decade or more. Great little pre amp.Recently upgraded to a Classic II.Poster below hit it on the head. The classic's high gain output has necessitated ordering an attenuator. Recommended by CJ... | |
| Refurbish vs New Amplifier? Some good info here. An interesting discussion.I have concluded that given the Krell has been in my system since I bought it new (way back when) the Krell factory guy was offering good advice.If it ain't broke......If I were buying this amp today ... | |
| Refurbish vs New Amplifier? This is interesting. I tend to agree with the Krell advice. Re: older equipment that is working well probably is best left alone. I just had a water pump fail on an old Ford.had it replaced with new factory pump which proceded to fail. Second new ... |
