| Need interconnect advice I would look up an MIT cable. They're not my favorite but they fit your wants perfectly. They are great for tube systems. You'll probable end up around the MIT-330, go to www.audioadvisor.com for new ones. | |
| Wadia Upgrades I personally have not but I have seen many others at various times speak highly of the Great Northern Sound Company. | |
| Balanced vs unbalanced interconnects Well, I guess I could have figured as much. I sent a note Krell a couple of days ago and I am waiting for a response. Meanwhile I have contacted The Cable Company, to start comparing cables, assuming Krell will tell me everything is balanced throu... | |
| Hospital Grade Wall Outlets Thanks for the response. I would not have noticed the dedicated ground difference. I really wasn't looking to save $4.55, but rather the shipping. Heck add the two together and I am half to another unit. Really I was hoping I could locate one wher... | |

| Classe Cap 151 vs Krell Kav 300i The CAP is more laid back , the Krell is more forward, the Plinius is almost twice the price and more neutral if you don't mind waiting for it to warm up. Moon has the I-5 at 80 WPC which has been favorably reviewed in the rags. If you can, give e... | |
| CD Copies...why do they sound worse? Perhaps the process of copying CDs is adding some sort of distortion (deviation from the original) which you find more agreeable than the original. This would support of perceived increaase in quality while also supporting the position that the co... | |
| Balanced vs unbalanced interconnects Provocative comments Carl, posting is a bad meduim for a wry sense of humor. Being a musician for the last 20 years as well as having a EE, I seriously doubt gardening is in my future. The Krell literature is non-specific and simply states a balan... | |
| Balanced vs unbalanced interconnects Some additional info - all cables mentioned are used so I assumed they were broken-in. Also, all connections were thoroughly cleaned with Kontak. Back to the meat of the matter is balanced better than single-ended or is the KAV-300i not truly bala... | |
| Synergestic research alpha sterling You need to determine if copper or silver is your preference. Each has its own characteristics. You'll find the Alpha-core Micro Purl (CU or AG) and the Kimber Hero to be popular choices in this range. I for one prefer the Alpha Sterling wo/discre... |
