| Ground Loop Question I had the same problem with my HDTV system using a Krell HTS connected to a Pioneer Elite DV-38 CD/DVD player and a Pioneer Elite PRO-730 RPTV. The CD/DVD player was connected to the TV via a component video cable (RGB). Absolutely terrible hum wh... | |

| Krell HTS-1UpgradedTo???? As far as I know, the only upgrade available is for the firmware. There are no hardware upgrades? | |

Some high end equipment manufacturers (Krell for example) now install a mains frequency sensing chip to prevent US gear ... | |

| Worlds’ Best High End Loudspeaker Competition/Demo I agree with Wulf comment on the TAD-1. Almost as good as the Wilson’s, but at 1/3 the price! I would like to have heard more of this loudspeaker. | |
| Worlds’ Best High End Loudspeaker Competition/Demo Oops! Should have said the room was 20m long, not 30m.Forgot to mention, my show favorite was a B&W 5 channel SACD demonstration using 5 B&W Nautilus 801s and two B&W ASW 850 sub woofers, all 5 main speakers driven by Classe power ampl... | |
| Whats the UK check scam Maybe, probably not. With the sky high $ to pound exchange rate and general low cost of high end equipment in the USA, it is very tempting for Hifi enthusiast in the UK to purchase used equipment in the USA. If you want to find out if the deal is ... | |
