| Cable recommendation for Krell & Vandersteen Hi guys, Thanks for the additional feedback--I appreciate it! I have to correct something I said in my previous post above. I was incorrect about what The Cable Company recommended for my set-up. It was not AQ that was the "warmer" cable, it was K... | |
| Cable recommendation for Krell & Vandersteen Currently using mogami 3082 for speaker cable and mogami 2534 for balanced connection between krell components. Sound is good, but seems maybe slightly veiled and slightly boomy in the mid bass. This of course fluctuates a little depending on what... | |
| Infinity Kappa 8's with a Krell KAV-300i? Thanks for the input and link Pete. Sounds like I shoulder consider a different speaker. | |
| lightning cable recommendations for chord mojo? I’d be interested in the responses on this post too. Which lightning cable are you using now? I used to use the AQ Carbon lightning to USB with my iPhone 5 (now 8) and my HRT iStreamer. (Prior to that, it was a generic lightning to USB cable I bou... | |
| Classe Model Ten or McCormack DNA-125? Or...? Wow, it seems pretty unanimous that the Mack 125 is the way to go. In the end, I can see myself going that way as well. So I guess as far as integrateds are concerned, the Roksan K2 isn’t anywhere near either of the power amps and RLD pre? The onl... | |
| Balanced (XLR) CD player recommendations Transport availability:Not sure on the McCormack. Negative on the creek. Yes to adcom.Rotels are newest of the bunch, so I assume so. | |
| Balanced (XLR) CD player recommendations Interesting... thanks for the info (initforthemusic).So I’ve been looking over some of the players I listed and given bang-for-the-buck, I can get the following. 1. Adcom GCD-750$2502. Creek CD53$3753. Rotel RCD-1570/1572$400-$5004. McCormack UDP-... | |
| Balanced (XLR) CD player recommendations Yes, there was an increase in volume. But what really shocked me was the fuller mids—which caused everything to be smoother, more neutral. The krell I’m using is an integrated, so no interconnects for a pre to deal with there. I’ve heard both side... | |
| Balanced (XLR) CD player recommendations Not sure if the NAD S500 I had was true balanced or not, but when I compared it in real time going back and forth between xlr and rca, there was a significant difference. Mids were much fuller and the overall sound was more even and balanced. | |
| balanced vs. unbalanced sound quality I'm currently looking for a cdp that will blend well with my krell kav-300i and vanderteen 2c's. I recently picked up an NAD S500 cd player based on positive reviews and described sound quality. It sounded better with the krell versus other player... | |
| $100 or less Phono Preamp recommendation? Update: Thanks for all the suggestions. It gave me a reference as to what range of product I need to be in for the price. I ended up finding a used Project Audio Phono Box II for $60 shipped. It arrived yesterday and it sounds wonderful. | |
| CD player suggestions for Krell & Vandersteen Ok, so I was able to audition the Apollo with my gear, and my assumptions were correct: Even though the Apollo sounded very good, it was too bass heavy on the low end, and a touch too bright on the top end (when using it with the 300i and 2c’s). T... | |
| CD player suggestions for Krell & Vandersteen Thanks for the recommendations. The Apollo seems to be the consensus here. There is one local to me that I will check out. The only tidbit I found regarding the Apollo is that it has a tendency to have a bright spot in the upper frequencies? If I ... | |

| Best sounding "budget" integrated amp for Vandersteen 2C. Update: AQ CV-4's have opened up nicely... And yes, there is a difference between them and the mogami's. Also picked up a pair of AQ Golden Gate for my streamer DAC (HRT iStreamer). Damn! that cable is a noticeable improvement! Next up is the AQ R... |
