The Color Of Vinyl
Right on Marty! 
What's your favorite instrument to listen to....
It would be impossible to nail it down to one. I love listening to the Flute, but on certain recordings other things stand out that just sound fantastic. Brass, real piano, bass guitar. Maybe it's a guy thing but it's hard to argue the "female voc... 
Real Standup Men Audiogon Members to the Rescue
Props to the heros who rode to the rescue. Sean points out well, lots of people might have been willing to help, but these two actually did it. I'm impressed. It's seems to be getting harder and harder to find "stand up" guys like these but easier... 
Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
TWL has told me to change to tubes also! I know everyone like different things. It just seems like for some reason there are a lot of snipers gunning for Krell. Plenty of people take pot shots at them over this issue or that.In my opinion the FPB ... 
Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
They are very heavy duty. The FPB 200 which is the smallest of the series weighs a fuzz over 100lbs. It is hard to get out of the box by yourself. Krell has come up with some design changes that have helped with the heat issues. Even when being dr... 
Do I need or want preamp tone controls
I figure the people playing the music and the people in the studio know more about what the reording should sound like than I do. I leave the tone control to them. 
speaker choice help below $800
I know every person who responds to this thread will have a compelling reason why you should buy thier favorite speaker but I would like to make a suggestion. Consider the Sony SS-M7e. I know no one thinks of Sony as a quality speaker maker, but t... 
Purist Audio new cables
Am I wrong about this or is Ferox a gas rather than a liquid? I've been asking the same questions as Inna since I realized they discontinued all my cables and started over with new stuff.Oh well, maybe I can buy more Proteus when others want to bu... 
The Biggest Disappointments in Rock and Roll
I think a lot of this is age related. People rarely like the next wave after they started listening. People who grew up in the fifties seldom have any use for the music of the sixties and so on down the line.TWL mentioned that he was losing intere... 
Where have all the protest songs gone?
I really want to spend my hard earned money listing to a multi-millionarie whining about how bad something is. Just because a person has a record contract doesn't mean they have anything to say and most artists(?) prove that every time they step i... 
Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
I listed it in "my system" but I should have written it on the thread too. I bought a Krell FPB 200. From what I've heard so far deciding which sounds better is going to be a real struggle. It's been quite a while since I had the Purist Dominus in... 
Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites
I have to start with Jethro Tull and than I'd mention them a few more times. Yes and Genesis come to mind along with Pink Floyd, Careful with that axe Eugene! When I first switched to FM from AM I found a really seriously weird station in Milw tha... 
Power Cords - Pixie Dust?
Take this for what it worth (probably very little). Krell recommends not replacing their stock power cords. They sort of imply problems may result. Every time I have observed changing the power cord on a piece of Krell gear there was a dramatic im... 
Willing to be proved wrong.
We tried to stop you. This is not our fault. Now I know how Dr Frankenstein felt! 
Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
I don't know if anyone is still following this, but I bought a new amp. It is not a $7000 amp, but it was too darn close for comfort. After it is broken-in I will have to resolve in my own mind whether the improvement was greater with the Purist D...
