SS balanced preamplifier for Krell FPB 400cx
just hooked up an x1 purchased here on agon. almost exactly what i was hoping for. this is the 4th pre in 6 weeks and i think it hit the mark. was really enjoying the sound without a pre. using my ps audio pwd without a pre was a tough act to foll...

been playing around alot with the upsampling options on my front end. for the most part...everything sounds best without any upsampling it in my system. i'd say around 90% or more.do agree with Newbee regarding a small percentage of mostly older r...

Hat's off to the room treatment camp.
Lloydc: my area rug was very thin. it rests on ceramic tile which is on a concrete slab. i put the pad in the same day as i did the ceiling panels and noticed smoother highs. can't say for sure if it was the pad or the ceiling panels that helped m...
