DVD/SACD on the Verge?
Not too many years from now business majors will study SACD & DVD audio to learn how to not market a new product.Obviously those who are behind both formats have not studied history & are doomed to repeat it. 
power cords and krell amps any suggestions?
You might want to try a P.S. Audio Lab cable. It made a significant improvement on a KAV250 I had. Go to their website;they have a free 30 day trial & the price is very reasonable. I am using Syn. Research on all my front end components but I ... 
Martin Logan owners/cable recomendations
You might want to try Cardas. I got nice sound from my Logans with Quadlink. I had Tara Labs RSC prime before that & they weren't a good match. I am using Syn. Res. Resolution Reference & getting great sound at this time from them but a 15... 
anyone a b test krel krc350 against sonic frontier
Celerity or lack thereof is not a problem with the line 2. I have had the 1,2,&3 in my system & the only time I had a problem with speed it was due to either line conditioning or interconnects.. Larry W 
Sony DVP- S9000es
I have one & for the bucks it is not a bad unit. I only use it for DVD & SACD playback. I tried it for cd playback & it is o.k. but if I were going to use it as an all in one player I would have it modified to get better cd playback. T... 
Krell amps with tubed pre-amps
I have noticed that a lot of people are using this combination. Both products are built to a very high standard , they are reliable & together they make wonderful music. Larry W. 
Krell amps with tubed pre-amps
I am running a Sonic Frontiers Line3 into a pair of 250fpb mono's. To me you get the best of tubes & solid state doing it this way. The jumper in question is easy, does not affect the sound & provides an added measure of protection to the ... 
Monoblocks or Bi-Amp
Speaker cables draw power & the longer they are the more power they draw from your amp. Larry w. 
How to fix B&W 800's?
Equity International in North REading , Mass. is the B& W Distributor. They have a service department & can probably repair the drivers for you. Call them at 978-664-2712. Good luck; Larry W 
Buy a hi-end CD player/transport now?
If you wait for SACD or DVD audio to take off before purchasing your next player take the money & invest it in a stock or stocks that will give you a good long term return. In the near term I don't see either format doing much. I have players ... 
Martin-Logan Descent or Rel Stadium Subwoofer
I have a pair of Quest Z's & a Stadium II between them. I have tried numerous subs & sold them all because I didn't like the sound. When I bought the REL;theML sub was not available. The REL is seamless in it's presentation vis a vis the L... 
Equi=Tech Balanced Power vs. ?
I have never installed a piece of equipment in my system that had a more noticeable positive effect than an Equi=Tech 1.5. P. S. audio units also balance the power in addition to regenerating it. My only complaint with the P.S. units is you have t... 
Krell FBP200C/which tube pre will sound best
I just purchased a pair of 250fpb mono's & I asked about this very issue. My dealer said that the Sonic Frontiers Line 3 I am using would not be a problem for my amps. This dealer sold S.F. gear at one time. If anybody hears differently please... 
Equi=Tech, Components & Benefits of Balanced Power
I also have a 1.5 & I am very happy with what it does. I use it on all my front end gear & my entire home theater including a 65 inch projection T.V. I tried it on my amp & I felt it slowed down the pace of the presentation. I wanted t... 
SACD and DVD-A:why so negative, "guru"?
I should clarify my previous submission. Tower was removing the CD's not purchasing customers. I have equipment capable of playing either format so I would like to see both readily available. Larry W.
