Classe move to China
I guess we only want the Chinese $$ to finance our bankrupted governments but not the products they produces. Should the Japanese boycott Honda, Toyota ... for building their cars in USA and shipping them back to Japan for sale? Or the Germans bui... 
Dual volume control - it should be standard
Thanks Charles. It saved me $64,823.87. I had Circuit City mod my pre before going out of business for $176.13.For the 1st time, I play Springsteen not only in my car but home system. I just dial the volume controls until it sound like a 192kHz/24... 
Used Magico V3 or Rockport Mira 2
You should not compare the speakers at Goodwins unless you plan to make a purchase from them. Otherwise, it's not fair to them. 
Dual volume control - it should be standard
With my dual volume control pre, it turned my Bose 201 into Kaiser Kawero. Unbelieveable!! 
Classe move to China
I could care less where it's made as long as it meets my requirements. Many countries with their taxes and endless regulations push businesses to friendlier environment. 
Anyone heard the Krell KCT Preamp?
I also find Transparent IC a good match for my Krells but the SC is too dark. MIT has a more open and detailed sound which I much preferred.All my friends with Krells at the time all use either MIT or Transparent. I like to hear what cables owners... 
Anyone heard the Krell KCT Preamp?
I've had 3 Krell amps and last was a FPB600 but never like their preamps. Haven't demoed the EVO series so how do they compare to the FPBs?What cables do you guys use with your Krells? I found MIT worked best but not so with my current gear. 
What ecc82 for preamp
The ONLY problem with Telefunken ECC802S is they go for $850+ for a MP and almost impossible to find a MQ. 
RM 200 with KT 120 Tubes
Roger is still investigating if KT-120 works in a RM200 or RM300. Check the Music Reference AC thread. 
Anyone replaced Fuse with Circuit Breaker?
TRL gears use breakers instead of fuses. I don't remember the type so contact Paul for more info. 
ear preamp
Zoltan,Are you describing the little soft and rolled off in the top frequencies with stock tubes? Can't imagine PCC88 ever sounding soft or roll off in anything. 
Anyone using "jumper" cables?
12-24-11: RjaKarmatogdral,If you own bi-wire speakers you basically have 2 ways to wire them, bi-wire cables or single runs with jumper. Experimentation should dictate which way you go for best sound. Also, you might discuss this subject with the ... 
RCA or XLR Between Digital Separates?
Rja, that's EXACTLY my point. I guess we live in the same universe. 
RCA or XLR Between Digital Separates?
12-18-11: IrvrobinsonKnghifi, your position is that one properly constructed cable that meets specifications can "crush" another? I don't live in that universe. Sorry.Irvrobinson, I'm simply saying you just can't assume a AEB/ESU cable is ALWAYS s... 
RCA or XLR Between Digital Separates?
12-17-11: IrvrobinsonAs long as the cable has proper impedance and reasonable capacitance the XLR design wins hands down. You can buy the best solid silver RCA cable half an inch thick and compare it to any cheap-o balanced cable you can buy in a ...
