| Krell KCT/FPB-300cx vs. Pass Labs X1/X250.0 Dave,I do not know what Krell service is like currently (no pun intended) as I thankfully have not needed service. But the problems I have read about seem to involve products with moving parts, e.g., CD, SACD players, where some of the components,... | |
| Krell KCT/FPB-300cx vs. Pass Labs X1/X250.0 Do not have those speakers or the Krell pre, but I do have the 300cx and it is a superb, musical -- yes, musical -- amp with tons of power for full range speakers.Don't listen to what some of the carpers say about Krell until you listen to it. Min... | |
| Ipod Dock with direct out????? I'll see what I can do, Justin, without voiding the warranty.Neal | |
| Ipod Dock with direct out????? Justin,I ordered it from Music Direct about 1 and 1/2 mos. ago. I received a UPS notification that MD has shipped a package to me, which I am assuming is the iTransport. Stay tuned.And yes, I am going to compare it to sound of the same CD's throug... | |
| Ipod Dock with direct out????? I should be receiving my Wadia iTransport tomorrow and will be running it into my Dodson 218 DAC which re-clocks the signal before the conversion stage. My iPod contains some songs that were ripped directly from CD's using Apple Lossless, and othe... | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? C-J PF-R. I still have mine after about 15 years (used in my BR sytem)and it is the best of tubes and SS qualities. If you see one used, grab it.Neal | |
| Interconnects with smooth highs 4 Manley Stingray AQ Sky's provide smooth, melodic yet detailed highs. I think they are a very underrated cable, principally because they do nothing wrong and do not grab you by the lapels to get your attention. Very livable cables, easily forgettable, and that is ... | |
| Good Digital cable RCA , suggestion After trying nearly all the biggies, Stealth Sextet took the prize. Many here would agree. AZ MC2 is not bad, but not in same league as Stealth.Neal | |
| Looking for a very focused power cord The Nordost alhalla and Brahma cables are "warmer" and more full-bodied than the IC's, while maintaining the speed and detail for which IC's are famous. Of the 2, the Brahma is warmer, but I think the Valhalla has the best combo of detail, body an... | |
| Lessloss PC for digital source or power amp? I am using on preamp, which all sources run through. This PC is the real deal, even with minimal burn-in.Neal | |
| Help: getting around balanced inputs on pre/pro? I use BAT RCA/XLR adaptors with AQ Sky IC's and after a short burn-in period I could hear no difference.Neal | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp Wyetech Pre. I think the Jade is in your price range. I have the Opal and it is as fast, dynamic and neutral as you will find in an SS or tube pre. No balanced ins or outs, though.Neal | |
| Which amps have 2 sets binding posts per channel Krell FPB's, and they are the best, easiest to use I have seen.Neal | |
| Reliable Sources for 6SN7 Tubes Thanks to all. With these recommendations, I am sure to find something suitable.Neal | |
| Any audiophile grade optical cables? The VDH Optocoupler is an excellent optical cable (I have used it), but in my experience, 110 ohm digital cables generally sound better.Neal |
