Krell KAV-250p - time for change?
@olfac87 Keep the Krell as long as you love the way it sounds! And don’t pay any attention to what ebm says, his contributions to Audiogon community can be summed up between ‘jump’ and ‘dump’ ….he reminds me of my garbage man who jump on and on ... 
Do I need a subwoofer?
+1, @soix  Yes, you need subs for movies. Two subs will always pressurize your room and address bass nodes better than one giant single sub. Also look into REL HT/1003 or if you can extend your budget for HT/1205. IMO, REL are much better subs wh... 
Good or Best Surge Protector
+1, @thecarpathian I also suggest auditioning atleast 2-4 high quality conditioners from Audience, Puritan, Shunyata or Synergistic. Your system is too good to settle for some pedestrian power conditioner like Furman.  
Weakest digital link: DAC - Streamer - Server?
@alexb76 If you can minimize noise generated by Synology (LPS is recommended) and your router, you can get a very high quality playback of your local files and streaming from Qobuz/Tidal. I would recommend installing a Ethernet switch w/LPS as a... 
Zavfino
+1, @thyname @twoleftears Shorter or longer than 1.5M length can be ordered. I was able to order PC’s in 1.0M and Speaker cable in 3.0M lengths.  
Calling All Ex - Shindo Preamp Owners
@rcprince Exactly my sentiments! I do miss the Shindo intoxicating sound too. May I know what is your rest of the system, like speakers and amp?  
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
@grinccaffe  Can you please post a picture of your stands?   
Next best exponential DAC quality level?
“I’m wondering if the new node is better sounding as a streamer only than the older node 2.” @mofojo Probably not, the BluOS experience is still the same which is pretty decent. Nevertheless, the new Node is a good upgrade from the Node 2i, ad... 
TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?
@mulveling Thanks for your post. Some folks just can’t see beyond price and specs which is quite fine, to each his/her own :-) The music and the associated components in your system is an emotional experience for many enthusiasts in this hobby.... 
Next best exponential DAC quality level?
“There is so much more then a spec sheet and measurements. Those are most certainly important, but its not the end all, not even close. It really is a preference thing and in this hobby it’s ultimately about SQ and how well that SQ moves you on a... 
Accuphase E650 XLR Input issues
“the accuphase integrateds are known to have poor implementation of xlr input(s) - they have been measured to be rather noisy compared to the standard rca inputs”   @jjss49,  I beg to differ with your feedback. Is this your personal experience? ... 
Next best exponential DAC quality level?
^^^^It appears we have a keyboard warrior among us….DO NOT ENGAGE and AVOID THE DRAMA!  
Zavfino
@ozzy That’s the first thing stood out for me when I held Zavfino cables in my hand. The build quality is stupendously good. I was like, how are they managing to stay profitable by selling these cords at such reasonable prices :-)  
TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?
Anyone considering Tannoy, should buy Tannoy :-) If there is any sense of urgency, it is now for anyone seriously considering Tannoy. Grab a pair made in Scotland  before you start seeing production runs from Asian continent.    
Can the digital "signal" be over-laundered, unlike money?
@sgreg1  Does it sound good? - Yes What sound are you looking for - The artist and mastering engineer originally created in the recording studio.  Since you jump to the end, here is what you’ve missed…. “ A really good Ethernet switch with att...
