| Price Increases A) Something's worth whatever the buyer pays for it.Yep! Unless you have manipulation or price fixing by governments.Apparently not enough demand for LSA integrated amps so selling direct and slashing price?VAC is jacking up prices without changes... | |
| The future of preamps Audiolabyrinth, LOL! If you're considering a tube pre in this price range, also checkout VAC SigMKIIa. LOL! It's only takes 2 e88cc/6922/7308 so easy to roll, very sensitive to tube rolling so you can dial in the sound you desire LOL! LOL!, it can... | |
| Price Increases Of course you are right Johnk, but I think the concern here is the 50-100% or more increase in cost of flagship models from numerous lines.Why is a concern? Companies can raise or drop prices WITH or WITHOUT changes to a product. All market driven... | |
| The future of preamps Did you use your Light speed preamp with the Krells? Seems like it would be a suitable match .No Charles. The Krells were long gone before the Lightspeed. When it comes to impedance matching, sometimes theory <> practice. ie: On paper, McInt... | |
| The future of preamps @ Atmasphere, Hi, If your preamp M-1 is direct coupled, what do you use to safe guard from DC exsposure if I attempted to use your product with the krell 700cx?I've only use tube preamps (Sonic Frontier, AI, CJ, VAC ...) with all my Krells amps (K... | |
| Price Increases With no updates to design I cannot understand why the price hikes.Because they can ... simple supply, demand and price! | |
| Mono amps and different length speaker cables Why assume that unequal lengths won't be better than equal lengths?As I indicated earlier, I see no reason to make that assumption, at least in the biwire situation the OP appears to be describing. And a similar argument could probably be made for... | |
| Mono amps and different length speaker cables 12-13-13: GrannyringGet out the ruler as one of your cables may actually be an inch or two longer! LOLYou are missing the point! | |
| Solid State to replace Audio Research REF110? 12-12-13: MikewernerYeah, I have a BMW motorcar. I'm glad that the service department never answers their calls.Who needs them, anyway?My car runs GREAT!I have never heard such nonsense as from salectricThere will always be Honda and Porsche drive... | |
| Mono amps and different length speaker cables 12-12-13: GrannyringWhat if one cable is coiled or bent more than the other? Or one is an inch higher off the floor? Or if one is over wood and the other carpet? If one bends to the right and the other to the left? Well, that last one happens a lo... | |
| Mono amps and different length speaker cables So much of this stupid hobby is psychological, I will always be aware SCs are different lengths and wondering if hearing differences instead of just enjoying the music. Therefore, always same length for me. | |
| Solid State to replace Audio Research REF110? Don't hold me to this, but I seem to recall that Kal or Len once explained that ARC deliberately chose not to use fuses or auto bias circuits because the components were artifacts that could potentially degrade the sonics. To the best of my knowle... | |
| Krell KSA-200s First Time Use 12-10-13: BifwynneProf. John, just a wild arsed speculation here, but is it possible the amp is tripping because it needs to be hooked up to the speakers. Maybe the open circuit is doing it. If not, it's time to call the factory.Exactly my thought... | |

| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE I'm still waiting for Kiddmann to explain his comment (on 10/22) about why he thinks Magico has "higher distortion".Peterayer, Don't hold your breath. |
