| Does Aesthetix calypso match with Krell 200s pow? HiRwwear is correct. I had the KRC which preceded the KRC HR and priced also at $6,900. This was better than the KRC 2. The KRC and KRC 2 were released about the same time, followed by KRC 3 and KRC HR. In descending order of quality - KRC HR >... | |
| RCA to XLR adapters? Hi AtmasphereThanks for the reply.I am hesitant to reterminate the cables as it would make the resale value even worse. | |
| RCA to XLR adapters? Hi AlThanks for your feedback.I want to keep my existing cables to minimise the costs as I won't get much back for them.My DAC is a Mark Levinson 36. Do you know if this would give a problem?Otherwise, I would go for:DAC output (balanced) to Pream... | |

| RCA to XLR adapters? HiI have the reverse situation.I am using a Krell power amp which only takes XLR inputs and a Mark Levinson DAC which has both RCA and XLR outputs. I was previously using a Krell KRC preamp which has both XLR and RCA inputs and outputs. All my cab... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Voltage From 110V to 240V? I wrote an e-mail to the address on their site and Jim White replied. It was a firm NO.They must have changed their policy. | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Voltage From 110V to 240V? Thanks for all your replies. At this stage I have given up on the Calypso for good. I feel that if a user has to bend over backwards to accommodate use of a product by way of hunting down ways of voltage conversion by modification or use of transf... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Voltage From 110V to 240V? As I said at the first postKrell FPB 200c and Dynaudio Contour S3.4's.I was previously using a Krell KRC which I found too neutral. I have tried the Ayre k-5xe MP which is musical but also on the neutral side.I tried a Cary SLP 03. It is musical b... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Voltage From 110V to 240V? No, there isn't a local dealer in my country. The dealer who covers my country is based in Singapore which is a 4 hour drive away. Jim White initially forwarded my e-mail to him and he contacted me in June to say he would arrange for a unit for au... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Voltage From 110V to 240V? Des, thanks for your reply. Wrote to Aesthetix but got a NO. I am giving up on buying their products. Any firm that makes it that difficult to own one of their products does not deserve the biz since they clearly don't care for it. | |
| Krell KRC preamp powersupply This is what I copied down:Type: 40/6266/1Batch: 23/01I am not sure if it has the value.FWIW, the preamp is not really worth keeping from my experience. I have had it repeatedly malfunction even after 3 repairs at the Krell factory over a 2 year p... | |
| BAT VK 300 SE Vs. CJ CA200 For Dyn Contour S3.4 Hi KeithrThanks for the reply. Taking out resale value considerations, what sort of sound would I get from the CJ vs. the BAT. Would the BAT be warmer having tubes and the CJ have more slam being higher powered and being solid state while having t... | |
| BAT VK 300 SE Vs. CJ CA200 For Dyn Contour S3.4 I tried the Pass Labs Int-150 and found that it was too neutral.Any other views appreciated. | |
| Good Toslink Cable From Squeezebox Receiver To DAC Hi Blind JimI am deciding between Apogee Electronics Wyde-Eye and the Stereovox HDXV2. The Stereovox is double the price.If I get the Stereovox HDXV2 I will not need an adaptor is that right? I was looking for something more warm. Would either fit... | |
| Good Toslink Cable From Squeezebox Receiver To DAC HiJust an update.I just realised that my DAC has a spare BNC S/PDIF Digital Input.In this case, am I better off with a RCA or coaxial cable from the Squeezebox Receiver digital output into a BNC Adaptor (am confused as to which is male and female)... |
