| Racks made of wood In my opinions equipment racks do play an important role in overall sound quality, especially where turntables are concerned. As I said earlier I use a Core Audio Design plyKraft 3L rack with my TT. Feedback isolation at obscene volume levels is p... | |
| Racks made of wood If you budget will stretch this far, Core Audio Designs wooden racks are not only beautiful, incredibly well made, they are extremely functional. I use one with my Michell Engineering GyroDec turntable, absolutely rock solid. Furthermore, the owne... | |
| 2 channel to 5 channel question(s) I use an Oppo UDP-205 feeding a Krell HTS 7.1 into a Krell TAS. The results on video and audio are excellent. I have no plans to upgrade this system. In my case, the Krell HTS 7.1 is simply acting as a glorified volume control (processing is done ... | |
| How to replace FST Driver Go to this B&W site and download the service manual for your speakers:http://bwgroupsupport.com/manuals/serviceIn my experience these service manuals are sufficiently detailed to be able to work out how to do a repair. | |
| Please recommend a PreAmp for my 5.1 home theatre system In my HT system I use an Oppo UDP-205 to do the processing, feeding the fixed analog 5.1 output into a Krell HTS 7.1. Audio processing in the Oppo is superb and the Krell is just acting as a glorified 5.1 volume control. Works perfectly for me and... | |
| Really satisfied??? At the risk of sounding smug, I am. At the beginning of 2017 I decided to build a TT based system for my office. Turntable is a Michell Engineering GyroDec (full plinth, not the SE version) with an SME IV tonearm and Clear Audio Maestro V2 Ebony c... | |
| OPPO 203 I have an Oppo UDP-205 that I use with a MacBook Air, via Audirvana Plus. I simply use the HDMI output on the Mac into the HDMI input on the Oppo. Works fine for me very time. Suggest you check the Audio MIDI Setup in the applications folder. | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 To answer your question indirectly. I had a completely refurbished, mint condition, Krell KSA-250 amplifier, sold it 5 years ago. The single most stupid mistake in my HiFi journey towards Nirvana I have ever made. Regretted the decision ever since. | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano I have been an audiophile for 50 years, during this time I have never heard speakers that can faithfully reproduce the sound of a live grand piano. I have heard some pretty impressive systems (read very expensive, $0.5 million and more) during thi... | |
| I need to buy a complete system. I assembled a $20k tube/computer audio/TT sytem at the beginning of this year and could not be happier with the results. See my previous post for system details:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/second-system-that-sounds-and-looks-spectacular... | |
| 1-Where did you hear the best ... effer,Yes, they probably were the Apogee full range. I just know they looked big, beautiful and sounded magnificent. | |
| 1-Where did you hear the best ... 1. Many years ago (30?) I heard the original Apogee speaker at a HiFi show in London, monster Krell amps playing Steely Dan's Gaucho "Hey Nineteen". I can still remember the sound today, as good as it gets, I thought.2. Fast forward to December 20... | |
| Financial bind and need a nice XLR Blue Jeans XLR cables work just fine for me. | |
| HDMI No. My 4k projector is about 35' distant from an Oppo UDP-205 player, works perfectly with regular Blue Jeans HDMI cable. | |
| Opening a can of worms I think the OP makes several really good points, certainly worth thinking about. Then again, I am a great fan of Blue Jeans cable products; extremely well built and great value for money. |
