| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? I would never buy a speaker with a sensitivity level below 92db. Please pardon my lack of knowledge and inexperience as a technician, but lower sensitivity speakers, at least in my experience requires the amp to bring them to life. Oftentimes I ... | |

| Benz micro glider cartridge loading advice needed. @dover @lewm Thank you both for extremely informative and well written posts. It totally shines a light on a subject I knew very little about.

| Help with high end bookshelf speakers @soix in every thread you respond to, you are always helpful in trying to bring out more info from the OP in order to give better advice. But, man, you have a great sense of humor and had me rolling on the floor with your divorce humor in this par... | |
| Benz micro glider cartridge loading advice needed. @quincy No hijack at all. I totally agree with you about this whole phase inversion issue. Color coded wires on the carts are there for a reason and are universal. So, if a manufacturer needs to invert it for some reason, why don't they just inser... | |
| Benz micro glider cartridge loading advice needed. @lewm thanks for checking in again. This whole phase issue is confusing to me. You had mentioned that it didn't make any audible difference. I have to be honest that I have not had any experience with hearing it in my system while out of phase.. ... | |
| Benz micro glider cartridge loading advice needed. @wbs @lewm @dover Thank you very much for your replies. You guys gave me all of the info that I will need. @dover You saved me, BIG TIME.

| Jazz Hands @hilde45 @bigtwin I apologize to you both, And @elliottbnewcombjr was right, "OP asked for Likes/Dislikes". I think before that set in I immediately went on "don't criticize my childhood idol" mode. I first heard Bob James in early college... | |
| Jazz Hands @hilde45 "West Coast easier jazz"? "Strikes me almost like muzak" "Jazz for white people "? And @bigtwin You guys all have your head in the sand. Bob James may not have been among the pioneers you mentioned, but he has been a legend in his... | |

| Vacuum Tube preamp with my KRELL KAV 250a, a no no......WHY? @atmasphere Thank you so MUCH for taking the time to reply. I do feel a bit better. My reply this morning on this thread at 8:16 A.M. lays out my problem that prompted this thread in the first place. Something did happen to my KAV250a. But th... | |
| Vacuum Tube preamp with my KRELL KAV 250a, a no no......WHY? @mattw73 Thanks for your reminder about the sequence of powering on and off. I have to admit, I sometimes forget and then end up crossing my fingers. Not good. Regarding the power going out or flickering during storms: I have both preamp and am... | |
| Vacuum Tube preamp with my KRELL KAV 250a, a no no......WHY? @lynn_olson Your input is much appreciated. HERE IS THE SKINNY: I have 2 KAV250a's. In May, 2022, I had the oldest one recapped with some new resistors, etc, to the tune of $1,600. Being a guitar player with several tube amps, I always loved ... | |
| Vacuum Tube preamp with my KRELL KAV 250a, a no no......WHY? @immatthewj you're too funny. Nothing to get off the pot on. Check my virtual system. It's the preamp that I have that's in question. It has the best music coming out of my system that I have ever heard. That's why I'm scratching my head. @lyn... | |
| Vacuum Tube preamp with my KRELL KAV 250a, a no no......WHY? I tried calling Krell close to where I am, they're in Connecticut. But when I went to leave a message with tech support I got a nice sounding man who said, "please leave me a message". Then his mailbox promptly told me, "voice mail box full". So, ... |
