Best tracks to "show off" your system
My system sounds so good that John Denver can bring tears to the eyes of the most ardent metal head, or the Carpenters will send chills down the spine of marilyn manson. 
Woofer dust cap repair advice, HELP
Well, after much fear and trepidation I applied a piece of duct tape to the dust cap of my woofer. After a good dozen attempts it pulled back out. It's not perfect, but it's better than 90%.I would call it a success. 
Whats the krell sound?
Rooze, how about looking at the source. What's up with the TT?I just got a Krell FPB 700cx yesterday. The sound is amazing, after only four hours of running the PAD burn-in CD. The amp, so far has struck me as being very neutral, and reflective of... 
What early 70's rock bands had violins?
Zinfan I just bought her (Scarlet Rivera) LP last Saturday. Jethro Tull also used Violins in the studio (minstrel in the gallery is a good example), along with UK although most of their stuff would have been later. Didn't Fairport Convention emplo... 
How much does your system retail for?
Well Brian, I'm back and there's been more damage done. With a new amp and 9 meter Venustus interconnect I am up around $63,000. Where does the money go? Oh yeah, that's right!The first time I replied to this thread my whole system retailed for ab... 
Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have
Northeast Wisconsin is famous for farming and agriculture, along with that one finds lots of two lane, unpopulated highways. There is lots of beautiful country around here to explore. There sure isn't much in the way of mountains, but that's why G...

Woofer dust cap repair advice, HELP
I got an e-mail back from Kharma, and they recommend sticky tape to try to pull the cap back out. Since they gave the go-ahead I will try this. Masking tape did not work, but I will try something more aggressive. 
Power cable suggestion for Classe CA300
Powercables should not really have a sonic signature. They should allow the amp to do more of what it is designed to do. The times when differences are heard, IMO that is due to one of the PCs allowing the amp to do more of what it is designed to ... 
Burn-in CD
As a rule the older Purist CD would accomplish the break-in in about 48-72 hours. The newer disc will do it in about six hours. I have used both over the last three years and have been amazed by how well, and fast they work. They have sound record... 
Whats the krell sound?
I have owned a number of pieces of Krell over the last five years. I just sold an FPB 200 and have an FPB 700cx coming (hopefully today). The 200 never sounded bright. I would argue that any overly bright sounding amp is a result of a poor quality... 
Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared
Stillpoints are not brass cones. They have some type of bearings inside that work to isolate the piece of gear. I had a set of them for a short time and found them to do absolutely nothing. At the same time I had several sets of Aurious bearings a... 
Impedance Question: Tube Preamp with SS Power Amp
Krell cautions against the use of high impedence pre-amps with thier amps, but they add that some caps can be changed that would allow for the impedence miss-match.
