| Threshold, Levinson, Bryston, Krell, ?others? used amps Krell ksa100. Pure class A. Doubles all the way down 2ohm. Beautiful sound and beautiful looking amp. A true classic. Might be had for 2k if lucky. | |
| Solid states more accurate than tubes? Funny. I recently switched from my Conrad Johnson pv-11 to my krell Pam 5 and the krell has way more detail. I even had nos telefunken 12au7’s in the cj. I think I’ll be staying with the krell for a while. Maybe look into buying a nice Ayre pre. I... | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 Krell is fine as well with Wilson’s. Buddy has these speakers with high powered krell amp. Sounds wonderful. | |

| to my ears digital audio does not sound natural? something is wrong! Guitarsam is kenjit! | |
| is this the greatest live band of all time? Van Halen. Metallica, Jeff buckley( rip), Peter Gabriel, widespread panic, king crimson, the police, the Grateful Dead. They all beat the stones and Floyd. Seen them all over 40 yrs.. The stones over the last 20 yrs are horrific in concert. | |
| Anthem I225 upgrade Kinky looks cheap and Chinese. The parasound suggested is a great choice. | |

| What's the best non-DAC streamer? Best imho in order:1) lumin u1 mini2) innuous zen mkiii minithose are the only 2 you need to know. | |
| Replace Ayre Codex with Topping D90 DAC Topping good? Really? Don’t believe it. No way better than the codex. | |
| Laid back DAC under $800? Chord is fpga not ladder. Its great and costs more. | |
| DAC upgrade suggestion Right on kairosman! I have a chord qutest and it sounds better than any dac I’ve had, including r2r. Very analog and future proof. Best deal in dacs today imo. | |
| Doe you enjoy your listening to music and your system more with others or alone? Mostly alone but I love having my wife and kids comment on the music. Had a nice time Father’s Day dancing and streaming old 70s music. Puts a tear in your eyes when you listen to great music while hanging with your family. Booze helps as well. | |
| Good Stereo Speakers for outside use during BBQs, evening pot luck dinners etc Old cerwin vegas. They thump and don’t sound horrible outside. Inside.....well, that’s another story. | |
| Sub $1k Power Conditioners? Any Assistance Appreciated... Furman elite 20. I have 1 and love it. They’re reasonable and used by many audio techs that set up for concerts. |
