| Krell 700cx, and Tara cobalt A/C power cord. Audiolabyrinth, thanks for the kind words. It's been a long journey to this point, and almost everything along the way was purchased used. The only exception is my TT/arm/cartridge, which were all purchased new. Also my latest Krell Phantom III wa... | |
| Krell 700cx, and Tara cobalt A/C power cord. Check out my virtual system to see pics and description, and let me now how it goes. I listen a lot less this time of year, so I don't get to enjoy my system as much as I do in the cooler months. The big Krell just puts out a bit too much heat, an... | |
| Power supply caps Thanks Peter, I'll check these out as soon as I can. | |
| Krell KAV 500 in bridge mode I think you are right, but I don't want to put that much $$$ into my HT system, so I thought the bridged KAV would be a cheap way to make a bit of improvement. Have you ever run a KAV in bridged?Thanks | |
| Power supply caps Yeah, I've noticed that. It's also proving hard to find all three in the same brand. I've found several that make two out of three, but not all three values. I'm not against mixing brands, but I figured having all the same would be better than hop... | |
| Power supply caps Thanks Ait, I'll check them out. I saw the Panasonic's as wondered about them. Good to know someone who uses them. | |
| Power supply caps Thanks J. I'll give him a try. | |
| Power supply caps I'm having trouble finding caps with the correct values. I need 4700uF 50VDC, 470uF 63VDC, and 1000uF 25VDC. Couldn't find them on Parts Connection, Parts Express, or Madisound. Any suggestions where to find them would be appreciated. I'm doing go... | |
| Krell 700cx, and Tara cobalt A/C power cord. Hi Audiolabyrinth,For some reason my last post hasn't shown up, so this might end up showing up twice.I've been using the 30A breaker for 6-8 months, and have not see or felt any problems. Power Port did get mildly warm to the touch, just enough t... | |
| Krell 700cx, and Tara cobalt A/C power cord. Hi Audiolabyrinth, I've been running it this way for about 6-8 months. And I would say that it's more than a 5% improvement. I also did not get anything special in the breaker, just a regular one, and I could easily hear the difference. The amp is... | |
| Is built in phono preamp usually best way to go? Separate will be better, but here is some of my experience to back it up. I owned a Krell preamp with a phono board and then purchased the separate Krell KPE phono which has the exact same board in it, but the KPE was better. It had it's own power... | |
| Power supply caps Thanks guys. I have been slowly coming to the conclusion that literally everything matters, so I sort of figured that the PS caps would matter. I'll probably replace the PS caps before replacing the ones in the pre, since the ones in the pre aren'... | |
| Krell 700cx, and Tara cobalt A/C power cord. Yes, the 30a breaker did improve the sound, and I've checked the outlet and cord plugs from time to time to make sure there is no heat build up. It wasn't a huge improvement, but was an easily heard improvement. So I think it is worthwhile. The el... | |
| Krell 700cx, and Tara cobalt A/C power cord. I forgot to mention that outlets and cords are labeled according to the type of slot or plug, not necessarily what amperage they can handle. A true 30 amp outlet will have a different slot pattern and require a different plug on the cord. This is ... | |
| Krell 700cx, and Tara cobalt A/C power cord. My understanding is that the 10 gauge wire will handle the 30a. As for the outlet and cord, unless the amp is drawing 30a, which it doesn't, then no harm. Now if the amp decides to short out, there could be an issue. That's why what I'm doing is n... |
