Krell KAV400 VS Musical Fidelity A300 A 3.2 A3.5
Hey Dkzzzz, You mentioned that you listen to LP's almost exclusively? What type of Phono Pre-amp are you using? What are your other sources. I can't argue with a person not liking his/her purchase but it is strange that you mentioned highs and low... 
Krell KAV-400xi vs. Parasound A21+P3
I haven't listened too the Parasound at all, and therefore cannot make any comparisons which is usual here at Audiogon. But I do think I can offer some insight none the less. I own the Krell 400XI and love it but I want to clear up a few things. 1... 
audiophile music servers the latest products, info
Duanea, There are probably a hundred threads which answer your questions on Audiogon. Just try a little harder to find them. The short answer is yet, even the CEO of SimAudio has admitted that a hard-drive based system with DAC can outperform his ... 
The best hifi magazine?
UHF has the best overall concept IMHO. They use the same reference system and only replace one component (the one they're reviewing). Every review is done by the same trio of reviewers and they use both measurements and honest feedback. The knock ... 
Balanced or Unbalanced?
I'm not even sure what is balanced and what isn't there days. Krell advertises the 400xi as being fully balanced yet the model up FBI is a 'true' fully balanced design, while the 400xi only offers Balanced Circuitry. I think the industry has somew... 
Help with BenchMark vs. Museatex Bitstream
Hey Folks, I have the DAC 1 non-USB and I'm afraid I wasn't given the owner's manual. I've listened now extensively for two nights and have come to some conclusions. When adjusting the volume on the integrated by ear to try and match levels I've f... 
Help with BenchMark vs. Museatex Bitstream
Hello Dave, How would one use connectors incorrectly? The 6db gain is higher, is it possible that the output gain of the Benchmark is much lower then the Museatex? Perhaps in order to tune the DAC they've pushed down the gain output to the noise f... 
Anybody Into St. Germain?
Fantastic guys! Thanks a bunch!! 
CD player for Mcintosh/Krell int amp
Hello Klaudio, It's an interesting hobby but don't take it too seriously, you'll find yourself searching for a truth that doesn't exist. Remember it's all about you. The Krell is a love hate relationship for most. Some hate (many haven't listened)... 
Krell kav-400xi with show case dvd or dvd standad?
Hey Dave_b, Have you actually tested this and matched levels? I know others have and couldn't hear a difference. Strange. I'll be using a Benchmark DAC in the coming weeks and look forward to doing the test myself. 
Dynaudio Focus 140 vs Totem Model 1 Signature
Knownothing, My point was that many of todays AVR's can meet these THX requirements but many manufactures have chosen not to 'buy' the THX label.THX might have meant something 15 years ago, today it's a label. Case in point:http://www.logitech.com... 
Dynaudio Focus 140 vs Totem Model 1 Signature
THX is a joke. Telling somebody to purchase a receiver based on THX standards would lead one to believe that a person recommending such a thing works for George Lucas. 
Krell kav-400xi with show case dvd or dvd standad?
Ducchau, When you listened via balanced and rca did you match levels? I don't believe most people do and therefore 'think' balanced sounds better, when it is actually simply louder at the same gain level. 
Good Integrated Amplifier for Aliante Zeta Speaker
It's funny you've mentioned that Jaybo. I heard the Aliante's with a BlueNote Demi integrated and Ayon CD-1 player and I have to tell you, it's left an impression. Probably the best home setup I've ever heard. The Dynamics were incredible, the sou... 
Anybody heard Krell SACD mkIII?
How Krell could charge consumers $4k for a broken player then 'upgrade' it to a working player and bump up the price a few thousand is BEYOND me. The fact that the MK 1 & 2 existed is somewhat sad. I don't care if it wasn't Krell's fault and i...
