Digital Cables and Analog...interchangable?
Pull up BlueJeansCable.com and read his excellent explanation of this topic. And try the Belden 1694 cable for audio,video, and digital. You could be surprised by how good Belden cable is. Wonder how many of these high priced cables have Belden or... 
Suggestions for Cables all with Krell
I have Krell electronics and Legacy Focus speakers. After copper vs silver, rca vs xlr, solid vs stranded wires, less than $100 a pair to several hundred a pair I finally settled on Stealth interconnects. Did the same thing with speaker cables. At... 
Need good Component Video Cables
Do not know if this will help-----I have a Denon DVD and a Sony HDTv ready big screen. Had them wired with a s-video cable but since they both were component video available I decided to try that as the picture was supposed to be so much better. F... 
I'm looking into whole house surge protectors.
I had the electric company install the whole house protector at $5 a month and all was fine for a couple years. Then started to have a low level hum in my system that I could not find. Finall had the utility company out and found the surge protect... 
Hum from DVD video cable
A couple basic thoughts:1. Have you checked the cable making sure it is not defective?2.Are you hooking up the video 'out' from the dvd to video 'in' on the tv? It sort of sounded to me like maybe you hooked the wrong cable up to your dvd player. ... 
Krell HTS1 and KAV-1500 Operating Questions
My 1500 did not like the Monster conditioner. It is now plugged directly into a 20 amp dedicated line and is very happy there. plugging the dvd player and other electronics into the Monster was very beneficial. And by the way, my cable tv did not ... 
Thoughts on Legacy Whisper Speakers
I stood in Legacy Audio's home studio with Bill Duddleston,their design engineer, and listened to the Whisper and the Focus in direct comparison. The whisper is sweet but I bought the Focus as I could not see the price difference warranted the Whi... 
BEST CHOICE OF INTERCONNECTS
Check out Zu cable Warmouth and Stealth CWS interconnects.I have a Krell 7.1 and a Krell 1500 amp powering 4 Legacy Focus speakers and a center and these IC's were my final choice over many of the brands mentioned. 
High priced power cords and power conditioners????
I agree that dirty power can really screw up any system regardless of cost. And unless a power cord can clean up the power circuit I do not think it will really help by itself. Fighting low level noise in my system has been an ongoing endeavor for... 
Copper v. Silver
I had AQ copper cables for years. Tried Nordost B Hvn's---too bright in my system so went back to copper. Happened to pick up a Stealth CWS cable ---WOW! They were magic in my system. So now my ic's are Stealth silver and my spkr cables are copper... 
which amp for legacy focus
My Legacy Focus are about 6 years old. I have single wired and bi-wired. Have used amps from Yamaha, Acurus, Parasound[2200II], Proceed Amp5, and now Krell KAV1500. Never noticed any real improvement in the bi-wire but they sure do work great with... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
Have had Legacy Focus for about 8 years. I listen to speakers in every audio shop I go into and have yet to find those that make me want to change again. These have it all from low lows to high highs and the mid range is outstanding. I used to swa... 
Help Me Get Out Of The Dark Ages
Look at www.legacy_audio.com They have excellent speakers. I have bought and sold speakers over the years until I bought Legacy. They sound as good as anything out there and you can spend about what you want.Jim 
Upgrading HomeTheater
