| Can you put a Krell in an apartment? I don't know about the specifics of this amp, but, something that old that cost so much back then would be astronomically higher in price in today's market. I doubt that there have been much technological advances in amp design that this amp woul... | |
| Can you put a Krell in an apartment? I would not be that comfortable buying a 30-year old solid state amp. Many of the components, like the output transistors, may be hard to replace if they go bad. Tube gear is quite different in that most of them can be relatively easily serviced... | |
| Full Range comparison I've heard quite a few full range drivers used both in single driver systems and use as a wide range driver in multi-driver systems. Used as single driver, most systems do not deliver enough low and mid-bass for the sound to be full and rich enou... | |
| Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable Maybe the wobble has a positive effect on the sound. Sort of like playing everything through Leslie organ speakers. | |
| Denon DL-103 and Audio Note AN-S2 SUT problem To absolutely clear, I understand that you run the leads from the tonearm into the primary side of the step up transformer, then the output of the step up transfer feeds into the MM input of your preamp. Is there enough gain from this configurati... | |
| Wait- OMG! The song is really about...? For me, one the the creepiest songs is Sonny Boy Williamson's:"Good Morning, Little School Girl"Look up the lyrics, they are so much worse than one can conger up in casual imagining. | |
| Wait- OMG! The song is really about...? Yes, the Blues are an endless source of pretty interesting references--backdoor man means the guy who leaves through the backdoor when the husband comes in through the front door; I suppose it could have another obvious meaning. . .Some other blue... | |
| Wait- OMG! The song is really about...? Every time I hear "Santa Baby" in a shopping mall at Christmas, I wonder if people pay any attention to lyrics. It is sung by someone offering sex for all sorts of material things from "Santa" with each stanza ending with "hurry down my chimney t... | |
| Best cartige for the money and why? I don't have any specific recommendation for lower cost cartridges; I generally like the more modestly priced examples of Dynavectors that I've heard. I have heard the ART 1000 that Chakster mentioned above. At $5,000 or so, it is actually one o... | |
| Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable If you have seen the video of the table, it is clear that it cannot do even the basics of delivering decent performance--the platter wobbles like crazy. Even if this were not a concern, I don't see how it delivers any advantage at all--the arm an... | |
| Can you put a Krell in an apartment? In an apartment, you want speakers that sound lively and full at lower volume levels. These types of speakers a re most likely to be high efficiency models that also don't require much power. Even if you are already committed to some kind of low... | |
| Turntable cost:benefit I don't think it is at all possible to come up with a "rational" estimate of this sort for any kind of purchase. If you have only a few albums that you are crazy about, it might make sense, to you, to get a great table. I would spend quite a bit... | |
| shibata or microline, pls respond ONLY if you specifically have tried both. Whatever you choose, inspect the cartridge out of the box to make sure that the stylus is perfectly aligned to have no azimuth tilt when installed. As mijostyn mentioned, you can change tilt slightly by raising or lowering the arm (because of the... | |
| Highly efficient speakers to pair with my SET amp If you can move a bit up in price, the two reasonably efficient systems that I've heard and liked are the Tekton Double Impacts and the Rethm Bhaava. The smaller and cheaper Audio Note speakers might be in play if you can find them used, are cand... | |
| Why do Classical CDs sound less Alive/Real/Present ? Much of the genre is particularly difficult to get to record and sound realistic (e.g., choral music, opera, large scale orchestral). The live setting of such music is particularly difficult to record because the venues are so quiet and the music... |
