Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please.
That AGD Tempo di Gan does sound interesting but I'm not so sure I can find one for sale. Let me know if you see one.  I don't know if I'll ever swap out the Colosseum to listen to something else, to be honest. With that said, it would be nice to...

Thanks for the help. Yes, I'll have to find some kind of amplifier to stand in while I wait to get the Gryphon repaired. I did this years ago when something else went wrong and the Class D amplifier I bought did not defeat the Colosseum. I guess t...

Does everybody agree with my conclusion?

Ok, I swapped the inputs to the amp and the crackle stayed in the same channel as before, so, I guess it is the amp. Sigh. I really wanted an excuse to upgrade the preamp.    I’ve shut down the power to the amp and will see about getting it repai...

Hmmm, so, my preamp allows me to switch LR channels without switching cables. What if I swap the channels there and see if the noise persists in the Left channel, where it has moved to?

I have an update!  I swapped the speaker cables at the amplifier and the crackle moved to the other speaker. This happened after the amp was running for about fifteen minutes. So, I think we can conclude that it is not a speaker problem.  How do...

I guess I’ll swap the amp end cables first and then swap both ends with of the cables to see if the cable could somehow be bad.

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.   It’s a crackle not rattle and it appears to be at any volume level. When I heard it, I switched sources and it kept happening. I then took the volume level to 0 and there was still some noise on the rig... 
Can you put a Krell in an apartment?
I run a pair of Gryphon Cantata speakers, which are designed for a small room. I’m happy with them and I don’t have the problem of bass overhang/boomy bass, that I would face with a larger pair of speakers. These speakers have a separate Q control...

I don’t know why James picked Spread Spectrum as a name for his last company. Perhaps because Hedy Lamarr, the Hollywood bombshell, has her name on the spread spectrum patent. She worked on a spread spectrum system during WWII but it was never put... 
Can you put a Krell in an apartment?
I live in an apartment in New York City and put in two dedicated 20A lines and a brand new panel after discovering that the old panel was manufactured in the 1950s, and had been declared a fire hazard. I had the electrician put in hospital grade o...

I own the second generation Ambrosia preamp. I think it provides a lot of functionality at a relatively low price point. I have both MC and MM phono stages, a large number of unbalanced and balanced inputs and outputs, tone controls, tape loops, a... 
I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience !
Dinosaur or not, my Gryphon Colosseum amp is my lifetime amp. I love the smoothness of the sound, and the way the amp can clearly separate different instruments. I had my classical guitar teacher listen to the amp and he was impressed. He kept poi... 
Power amps into surge protector/Conditioner or DIRECT to wall? Final verdict?
I have my Gryphon Colosseum running into an AudioQuest Niagara 5000 and I’m happy with how it sounds. I hope it gives my gear some protection from lightning strikes. When I’m home, I still unplug everything when the weather app on my iPhone says t...
