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.  :')    
Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.

Anyone still using monster M2.2S cables (the really fat ones )
I still run them to my Infinity Renaissance 90 speakers from a Krell 300cx amp.  They sound awesome.  -John 
What internet stations are you donating to this year?

Web / Streaming Radio
I stumbled on this while poking around the Radio Paradise website.  They are the streaming server & host a lot of stations.  Click on streams and there may be some stations to your liking.  http://www.icecast.org/ezstream/I haven't had the tim... 
Listening to equipment at home before you buy
Ditto to Veridian's "not an audiophile" statement. I bought some of my equipment used.  If I didn't like it, I could hawk it like someone did to me.  I ended up keeping almost all of it. One caveat is I treat my gear like a body part for a transpl...
