| Krell KAV400 VS Musical Fidelity A300 A 3.2 A3.5 I have never owned either, but one Minor point. The Krell runs pretty warm...hot even. I listened for about an hour at the local emporium. The Krell was hooked to Magnepan 3.6r speakers, 4ohm and I don't know how bad an actual load. Within 20 minu... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Yes, There ARE real reasons for most cables to sound....different. Measureables such as capacitance and resistance are associated with either HF rolloff or loss of bass control...IE, reduced damping factor.I use all Beldon / fabricated by Bluejean... | |

I didn't want it back.The 2nd ALSO delivered DOA (can you believe it?) had a ribbon cable edge connector raised about 2mm at one ... | |
| Is break in quicker with Planars and Stats? I've had 2 pair of Maggies.Original MG-1s rebuilt at the 20 year old mark were very different upon return and needed months at my modest listening schedule to return to 'normal'.There replacement, some 1.6s were weird!

| "Audiophile" Printer - But Interfering with AC? Any way to drop a dedicated line and keep the stereo seperated from this bad boy? What is the max service to the house? | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones That may be worth a try....Bridge a fuse with a nice piece of 12ga or 10ga copper......In the old days, many a house fire was started by a lunatic who stuck a coin in the fuse box. The REAL problem was somewhere else. One last note....In Real Scie... | |

| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Pubul57 has it pretty much down to basics. For any 2-way test, the basic chances of a choice being right is 50:50. There is some more match to it, like levels of significance, but that is the basic idea. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Running off to work, BUT...I agree, at first glance with Audiofeil.I hear what I want to hear, just like my car runs better after a washjob or an oil change.How else could the 'rocks' get positive reviews? These discussions verge on religion, a pl... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones I have one of each...Norah and Grace. (nightclubbing, one cut of which made it to a Harrison Ford movie)...name it for 10 bonus points.I suggest we drop this line. People have many ingrained prejudi. I don't understand the strawman reference of a ... | |
| Norsdost Heimdall iKable Concerned with an I-Pod cable in a car?It's gotta be me. Even the Maybach I looked at didn't have a stereo good enough to warrant a massive cable upgrade especially when listening to MP-3s.....I've never been a 'critical listening in the car' kind... | |
