| Benchmark DAC 2 in standby mode My Benchmark DAC2 USB would on occasion do the same. I figured it was receiving an input signal from something that left it triggered on. I now have the newer DAC2 HGC there is always one light on & one light flashing. I only just hooked up th... | |
| Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular. I also have the 300cx and love it. Seems reliable as a rock. The 300 will work with a standard household 15 amp plug. I believe if you go 400 or 700cx the manual suggests using a 20 amp recepticle. You can look at the manual online at the Krell we... | |
| Song With Best Beginning Back in '72/'73 there were three albums that came out with a heart beat as the first song/intro.Tull's "Passion Play"ELP's "Trilogy"Floyds, "Dark Side of the Moon"I quite often wondered how they all came about to be released around the same time w... | |
| Song With Best Beginning Mapmans nomination about Higher & Higher is good. I never realized it was a rocket taking off. I gotta go listen again tonight on vinyl. The Moodys certainly had a few great albums with cool intros. " ...and now to suit our great computer you'... | |
| Amp with best bass control When I bought my Krell 300cx I had auditioned the Sim amp as well. There are 2 reasons I went with the Krell. The speaker terminals are way too close for my liking. If you put a set of spades on them the sides would be very close to touching &... | |
| Popcorn Ceiling vs Smooth I did drywall finishing in the 70's & 80s'. The acoustic (popcorn) does work well at deading the sound reflections,(hence the name acoustic) but as stated above it is real dated. Plus it is a real pain to refinish and paint. As far as a more m... | |
| turntable light I like the Littlelite products. It has a red and a white setting. Very high grade product. It stays where you aim it. Kind of spendy but I really like it.http://littlite.com/products/category/10Good luck.-John | |

| Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought? 1962 and I was 6 years old. DeeDee Sharp, "The Mashed Potato". Cost $0.98, $1.01 after sales tax. Emptied my piggy bank. Man, sometimes I remember some dumbshit stuff.-John | |
| Which amp for my Renaissance 90s? Congrats on your purchase. I also have these speakers and they are very special indeed. I use a Krell FPB300cx amp and it seems a perfect match. This amp costs a chunk of change so you may not want to use something so spendy. There are a couple of... | |
| Garrard 100 Zero SC I had a Garrard Zero 100 at one time. I've owned 4 turntables and this was the worst by a long shot. It tore up records. Almost a pile of lathe chips on the inner grooves of the record after each play. Your asking for an opinion and I say the name... | |
| Most demanding passages for a turntable & system I'd like to try the Sheffield Drum Track. I've been thinking of other LP's I own that are tough. Rick Wakemans' Myth & Legends of King Aurthur, Merlin the Magician also fits the bill. There are some extremely demanding passages on that as well... | |
| Room acoustics in a former church sanctuary? That place looks awesome. My wife & I just got back from Europe and of course did the church tour thing. We were extremely fortunate to hear four pipe organs playing while we were there. And the worlds largest in Passau Germany was off the cha... | |
| KRELL KCT preamp. FUSE BLOWN I also have a KCT. Never even hinted at any issue. I would try to isolate the problem. Perhaps disconnect everything connected to the pre, unplug the unit, replace the fuse, plug it back in, then turn it on. The KCT goes thru a small boot up cycle... | |
| Sneaky new internet tax pushing through fast I gotto go with yes on the tax. The folks working out of their home with a high-falootin' web site are closing the mom and pop stores in our town. The home office sellers pay no rent on commercial property, no sales tas, no use tax, no unemployemn... |
