Suspicous Speaker Auction ?
I just had this happen to me and I was about 4th lowest bidder. That make this even more suspect unless they contacted 3 others ahead of me and they all declined. Samski: Was this on a pair of monitors in Burly Maple? 
MD108 VS. MD102
If you do near field listening and like jazz and classical I really concure on the strengths of the MR-71 (I sold the incredibly transparent Rotel RHT-10 and kept my MR-71; the Rotel is definitely better in transparency, quick bass slam, getting a... 
FPB Series - Hot Running?
I think the thing that strikes me the most in this discussion of heat coming from an amp is the incredible inefficiency. Of course, Krell is not alone in this regard most Pure Class A designs will have the same problem within their respective watt... 
Why do people think I'm nuts involving audio?
I suspect that many of those same people, you mention your comments in the opening thread, would have no problem spending $2000 on big screen TV. In fact, I have seen many of speed boat crowd blow $30,000 on a projector based TV/Movie Screen. I su... 
Rethink Explosion Oriented Home Theater 9-11-01
One more fact to hammer home my points above: People the world over stated that the Sept 11th events looked like a movie. And people in foreign countries have come to look at Americans as exporters of explosive death and maheim "entertainment" The...

ARC Support
PS: Turnaround on ARC repairs in my experience and that of everyone I know (large Audio Research community where I live) has never been more than 3 weeks and on average about 2-6 business days (not including shipping time). When you have only been... 
ARC Support
ARC Service in my many years of experience has been truly exceptional ! They have gone the extra mile for me. Parts are supported to the last screw. In contrast: When I called Classe about a possible replacement faceplate on a power amp, I use in ...

I have an enormous respect to the fathers of anything that we benefit from today. Take a trip on memory lane:http://hhscott.com/Default.htmhttp://www.sundial.net/~rogerr/tuners.htm#mr67 
801 Versus Nautilus 801
PS: Yes to Magic's question. By the way, Audio and Sterephile both reported, also, the better sit up sit down response of the Matrix 801 Series 3 over the N801. 
Does Odyssey = ODL? same company?
Just wondering if this really exists so posting again. Could someone point me to the Tons of posts on dissatisfied ODL owners? Thanks! 
Tuners to audition under 700
I have owned and own so many tuners I forgot to mention the very musical Accuphase T100 and 101 (the 100 is am/fm and has an extra gang stage). Give me another 10 minutes to think and I will probably add the names of 20 more tuners I have owned. B... 
Tuners to audition under 700
Should mention that if you don't have difficult reception problems and want excellent sound on the cheap on the used market consider the Creek T-40/43, Musical Fidelity A3 (have not owned but heard, excellent value), NEC T6E (really inexpensive al... 
Tuners to audition under 700
Many of the top of the line tuners from the time frame of 1976 - 1980 will be very hard to exceed without going to many multiples of a thousand dollars. Ask anyone who has owned a substantial high end system and has taken the time to audition the ...
