krell KCT vs krell EVO 202 both preamp
This may not help, but I just got a Phantom III (my FPB600 doesn't have CAST), on a recommendation from Patrick at Krell. I had a KRC-HR and was trying to decide between going to a KCT or saving up for a 202 or Phantom. I would think that based on... 
Please critique my Delphi set up, bass not right
I used to have a mk III and now have a mk V. I found that the springs have to be perfect to get the best bass and all other aspects out of the Oracle. Better arms and cartridges will help as well, but the heavier later models will do a better job ... 
Cones under a suspended table?
A bicycle tube is basically what the Airhead is, so I'm doing that with the cones replacing the stock feet. 
Cones under a suspended table?
I use mk4s, but I have never AB the mk3, so ???? The BDRs are extremely inexpensive compared to most, and I now have them under all my front end components. I do think I got the most improvement from them under the TT though.Good listening,M 
The Trouble with Cartridge Recommendations
I would recommend the Glider. Benz carts are good at everything, while not necessarily the last word in any one area. They also have a great trade in plan, so that would help when you want something new.You don't mention your arm, so does that mea... 
any audio buffs in SW VA?
Hey Arthur,I'm in Christiansburg and have a Krell/Apogee/OracleTT system. What kind of music do you like?Good listening,Mike 
Cones under a suspended table?
I have an Oracle Delphi mk V, and previously a mk III, and I replaced the stock feet with BDR cones. It tightened up the bass and made the sound stage wider, and overall the sound was more open. So I've had good results. I just recently put Vibrap...

How do you dress your cables?
Sorry that last one was for Donjr. 
How do you dress your cables?
Why? What problem does it cause?Thanks 
How do you dress your cables?
Donjr, why not? What does coiling do or create?Geoffkait, good idea.Jedinite24, that's pretty much what I've been doing so far.As for the rest of you, I do appreciate the laughs, but I really am looking for serious answers.Good listening everyone 
Which Krell preamplifier?
The 3 will sound better, more open, more detail, better dynamics, etc. but he 7B has a phono I think. I used to own both and now have a Phantom III which replaced my KRC-HR (which was definitely better than the KRC3).Good listening,Mike 
Question about Krell KCT and Krell EVO 222 pre-amp
If you haven't already done this, I wouldn't. As a long time Krell user, and after talking to people at Krell when I was considering something similar, I ended up feeling like the 222 was just a lateral move. If you want to move up, go with a 202,... 
Crackling noise from my Krell KRC-HR
Does the crackle occur only as the volume is being changed, or just when set to a high volume? I once had a KRC-HR that would crackle as I was changing the volume. It needed a new volume control.If it occurs after the volume is set, try plugging t... 
Record Cleaning Machine
If you move up to the FI (fluid injection) NG models, you eliminate the problems listed above about fluids going everywhere. I also don't think there is that much fluid on the LP to really be too concerned about that, but everyones technique is di...
