| Pre Suggestions Krell KSA-250 & Apogee Scintillas I ran a KRC2 with my KSA200s and also my FPB300cx. I absolutely loved it. I ended up changing to the Krell KCT pre only because it matched cosmetically & has the CAST connections. I actually liked the KRC2 almost better due to a couple of thin... | |
| Who sells lead shot pellets to fill an equip.stand If you can use steel in lieu of lead, you can get it from suppliers that supply sand blasting media.

| best bang/ buck - old sansui vs panasonic XR Funny you should mention the Sansui 8080. My daughter has the one I bought new in 1973 in her college apartment. We just had it repaired for $80 and it still kicks booty. All her friends love it. It is a tank and will actually sound really nice. S... | |
| Looking for a krell preamp I owned a KRC2 that performed really well. Beautiful piece of equipment, quiet as a church mouse, reliable as a brick & stunning performance. I recently sold it here on Agon only to change to a new KCT which matches my FPB-X amp. Otherwise I n... | |
| Where to find vinyl from original master tapes Wow, thanks for the responses. What got me on this little quest is my Peter Gabriel albums (1st three) have always sounded like ka-ka. After twenty plus years I finally looked at them closer. All three albums, inner tracks have serious bubbles in ... | |
