| Krell HTS-1UpgradedTo???? As far as I know, the only upgrade available is for the firmware. There are no hardware upgrades? | |
| Will a transformer, 220 to 100v, ruin the sound? Changing the transformer taps on HiFi equipment often works fine, just like Eldartford says. There are some exceptions though. Some high end equipment manufacturers (Krell for example) now install a mains frequency sensing chip to prevent US gear ... | |
| Hum in your system You are correct; it was the coax connection to the cable box that was causing the hum problem. I will try the filter you suggested to see if I can cure the problem once and for all. Thanks for the tip. | |
| Hum in your system Thanks for the tip. I have just had a terrible problem using my DVD player, via component output, with a RPTV. The only way I could stop the hum was by using an optical connector between the DVD player (Pioneer Elite DV38A) and processor (Krell HT... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Apogee Diva's 20 years ago at a HiFi show in London. I can still remember the incredible lifelike sound reproduction. Well, at least I think I can! | |
| moving to Europe,need help with converting 110/220 I moved from the States to Paris 3 years ago, and was faced with the same problem (110V gear running on 220V). Fortunately some of my equipment (Quad and Revox) is multi-voltage, no problem there. The rest is 110V equipment, Including two 200W/cha... | |
| 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 ... | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? Chris Rea, Texas and Daytona. | |
| Moving to UK, what to do? I moved from the States to Paris 2.5 years ago, and was faced with the same problem (110V gear running on 220V). Fortunately some of my equipment (Quad and Revox) is multi-voltage, no problem there. The rest is 110V equipment, Including two 200W/c... | |
| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? I also purchased a Sony CDP 101 way back in 1983. However, unlike you I thought it was a quantum leap over turntables (Transcriptor Hydraulic Reference, SME 3009 and Shure V15 mk IV) and LPs. I never looked back. I also thought the CDP 101 looked ... | |
| Please rate WATT/Puppy 7 I heard them demonstrated last September at the HiFi News show in London. Absolutely amazing is all I can say. I have never heard a loudspeaker with this degree of resolution and imaging. The bass on a Kodo Drummer CD (can't remember which one) wa... | |
| A Tribute to Peter Walker Quad is the reason I am still passionate about HiFi after over 35 years. Peter Walker set standards most HiFi manufacturers can only aspire to. What a man, what a company, what a product! HiFi has just lost a great friend and innovator. |
