| Do speaker cables really matter? The only cable that makes my all Krell system sound the way I like it is Purist Audio Design Venustas or higher. I would actually say that going better in the cable will help prevent equipment changes as frequently and a bigger improvement than ge... | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? I have been content for 4 or more years with my mid 90's Krell/B&W nautilus system. I stopped looking on the web or stores for upgrades in that time. I am currently revamping my audio/video "theater" room right now only to incorporate a 106" s... | |
| Do Nordost match with B&W I never heard nordost with B&W and I will tell you that I have kept my Krell/B&W system stable with no changes for a few years now because I was so happy with my PAD Proteus Rev B cables. I have even heard from fellow audiophiles that PAD ... | |
| DIY cable elevators I used 3" PVC pipe and cut it in half (miter saw) along the length of it. Cut the half pipe into 3" or 4" lengths then take 2 pieces and stack back to back with a dab of Liquid Nails. When that is solid then spray paint with desired color, I used ... | |
| Scout cartridge and phone preamp recommendations Interconnects will affect the sound as it is in the chain but if it is those vs. cartridge then put more towards the cartridge. Dynavector is what VPI recommend and use most. | |
| The Doors DCC Gold vs. remasters..opinions? Manzarek is the master of remastering remasters for more $. That said I still bought the remastered versions because they have included missing lyrics such as "she get high" on "Break on Through" etc. I think they sound really good but will keep t... | |
| Give the new Kid Rock a shot. It is recorded well and sounds great on my system. I like it! | |
| Dedicated Audio Room Lighting Ideas? I love my sconces and use them 99% of the time and yes on a dimmer but different circuit of course. My ceiling installer said that I would need more lighting and he was wrong, I have never needed anything more in my audio/video room. | |
| Kef 104.2 vs 107.2 They are from the same era aand were the reference line but I wouls say no. They uses different drivers and the design is different where the drivers are positioned. I have owned both and liked them for a long time. | |
| The best power conditioner for less than $1K? I have been using the PS Audio Power Plants P600 and P1200 for the past 3-4 years and don't like my audio or video as well without them. The room treatment is very important first though to balance everything out and the power plants are icing on ... | |
| Which Krell to hunt down on the used market? "neutrality might be the holy grail for many audiphiles, but it doesn't always work in the real world" might very well be the case. I once sold my KSA 300S for a FPB300 (all Krell w/B&W 801 III) and it seemed to loose "soul". I sold it and bou... | |
| What cd player should I buy? How about a Musical Fidelity A3.2 or XRAY V3 just reviewed in Stereophile? I bought an XRAY V3 for my headphone system and really enjoy it for under $1K. | |
| B&W 802's tweeter dented invert You can use some tape very carefully applying it and pulling the dome back into position if it is not creased that badly. It happened to me during a move but is still sounding perfect even though I have a new replacement for it and just haven't fo... | |
| B&W N802's and Room Size I could agree with Hgabert since I am using a Krell KSA300S with N802's. I wasn't thinking about the power needed but not that they won't sound great, it just depends on the music and listening level that is expected from them. | |
| B&W N802's and Room Size No, actually that sounds perfect. My room is 13 X 24 with them and I am sure they would work well in some smaller rooms also. |
