Synergistic Research Cable Risers?
Does anyone make cable "lower-ers"?  I think I'll dig a trench in my listening room and bury the puppies.  Wayyyy to much time on our hands today.  -John 
Cardas cable users
I originally hooked up with Quadlink, then tried the GR.  Went back to all Quadlink in my system and it was much better.  Not so veiled if I had to pick a word.  And that's between the CD & Pro.  I use it for all my IC's now.  Of course that's... 
Upgrade path from Windows laptop music server
I have almost the same setup, except for the computer brand and listen to to RP & ripped CD's, lossless.  I read these forums for 2 years and concluded: go with what kijanki said.  Although others here will vehemently disagree.   
Free, Higher Resolution Streaming Radio?
Radiobit.50 webs has a list of high res stations and their respective bit rates.  Really cool site.  Radio.garden has every (almost) radio station in the world shown on a globe.  Ditto on the cool factor.  Have fun, John 
Can you put a Krell in an apartment?
I would just make sure the plug has 12gage wire.  If it is 14gage which I've seen before, it will be like trying to suck a bowling ball through a garden hose, electrical wise.  Of course the a generator/inverter on the balcony may be an option. 
New Music Direct catalog...
Thanks so much for the link to the Joni pictures.  Very cool indeed.-John 
Pass Labs XA 30.8 Standby power draw?
You got me wondering about my Krell 300cx as I forgot its specs.Standby = 60wIdle = 175wKickin' ass = 1700wNo wonder Lake Mead is about empty.  Blame it on Krell. 
Please Make Audiogon Cool
Somehow I feel this thread has been hijacked, but I can't figure out where it went south.   
Jawbone Bluetooth or equiv small speakers. Any others that may be better?
I had no idea.  Shopping here I go.   
Vintage Krell
I bought one used quite a while back. The amp ran & worked great for a year, then fried. I sent it to Krell for repair. Worked for 3-4 weeks then fried. Sent back to Krell & they repaired for free. When it was returned FedX must have kicke... 
Re-tipped phono cartridges
Seems to me retipping a cartridge is like changing the oil on your car without changing the filter.  Break it out the wallet & buy a new one.   
Classic Sub For A Reasonable Price
There is a seller on ebay who used to sell these. It one of his specialties.  corvettec62005 is the user name.  Perhaps he may help.  
Your favourite Rush albums?
Signals & Moving Pictures.  The last song on Signals "Countdown" is such an awesome inspiring song.  The launch of the space shuttle Columbia which the bad attended. 
Krell fpb 250m
Krell makes a "Krell Link" that you can use for delayed startup.  I use it on my system so the pre-amp starts first, them the amp.  These amps draw a lot of current when they first fire up.  It may be not getting enough juice at startup and shuts ... 
New Amps Arrived...
"So you're now driving $3250 speakers with $10k worth of amps?" That;s what I do.  I have thought a few times of "upgrading" speakers but I am so happy with mine I bought  a new KTM300 instead.  :')
