| Sonic Frontiers pre-amps I own a SF Line 3 and had it upgraded to Signature (SE) about a year ago. Yes they still fix and support the SF equipment. I love this pre amp.Got curious about new designs and have been auditioning other preamps. For full disclosure I own a Krell... | |
| Krell FPB 200c lack of Power? The amp is way powerful enough. Only option is its in need of repair. I'd suggest you diagnose the problem a bit as follows. I hope you have a small multimeter. If not go to radioshack and buy one for $20.1. Disconnect your amp from your system.2.... | |

| Importance of Power Conditioner? What does the Ultra get you? I'm thinking of a 2 or a 2.5 Ultra. THe obvious difference is another 500VA but is there something else in the Ultra labling?Ken | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Everyone is talking about possibilities. There are many Mcintosh 270 owners who have owned them for better then 35 years. McIntosh just started manufacturing them again. I owned one once and sold it for $300. Stupid stupid stupid.Sold it in 1975 a... | |
| Question About Amp Hook Ups Balanced cables do reject common mode RFI hum etc, but that's only part of the story. The Krell has balanced circuits which means each channel has mirror image circuitry that drive the signal either positive or negative. Single ended components ar... | |
| How does the Phase Linear 400 compare? I was a proud owner about 25 years ago. I actually sold a Mac 275 tube amp for it. (I know, I should be horse whipped for that audio stupidity.)I was in love with power at the time.I remember that period in time very well. Amps were going for powe... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? I had the same reaction. I listened to 803s powered by a Mark Levinson integrated amp and was terribly unimpressed. Muddy, confused sound stage, and no high end were my first impressions. | |
| Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W I bought the Studios over the B&W 801s. Much better midrange and imaging. (Bass on the 801s is hard to beat.)Never heard the Aerials. | |
| Dead advice on high end stereo/HT mix Thanks. After doing the rounds of the medium priced shops I'm convinced that Nar_com is correct. I've heard $1K speaker systems (5+sub) that sound dynamite for DVD soundtracks and they sound like crap for music. Going to $3-4K it still holds. The ... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I think the original premise is wrong. Most people really don't like music. I leave in evidence just one observation. How may people do you invite to listen to music who actually sit and listen without wanting to talk about 30 seconds into the fir... | |
| Anyone have this happen to them? A humidifier helps a little. Being in Colorado static discharge is always a problem and it can damage sensitive components usually associated with displays or control circuits. (Even worse if you are inside a computer. You can destroy a 265MB Ram ... | |
| No ground, should I worry? The concern manufacturers have about grounding is for liability and safety. They can say I told you so if you fry your rear. If it sounds good then you are not effecting your system or doing any harm. Just don't touch it while in your shower. I ha... | |
| SF upgrade of SFD 2 to Mark III status Had the upgrade about a year ago. The cost is $1300 but you need the D2D-1 (700) and the cable ($50) also to get the full impact. The upgrade made a substantial improvement in high and low end. Better definition, better detail, and better micro dy... | |
| Krell FBP200C/which tube pre will sound best I have been using a Sonic Frontiers Line 3 with my KSA200s and it's a wonderful combination. Highly recommended. SF Line 3s are going for around $2-2.5K used right now. A great buy. Its nice to use balanced between the two which most pre's don't a... |
