Pre-Amp decision from a Newbie - Need Help
I would avoid the B&K. You can do a lot better. For something cheap check out the Aragon pre-amps. They have a few good SS models. For something better, used but still in your price range, see if you can find an older Klyne pre-amp. They have ... 
The Klipschorn
If you like the Klipschorn then it is great for you. I have listened to them and if I had to list my top 50 speakers they would not be on the list. Actually I would not buy them for any price, so maybe you are going insane, but if you're happy... 
You used to love it but now.......................
I used to have almost everything Led Zeppelin did, including bootlegs. I have long since thrown it all away. I did buy a copy of III a year ago or so, but one listen was enough.I can't stand the thought of even hearing the Eagles, much less owning... 
What is the SACD Mod business all about?
Virtually every CDP released in the late 80's was a mod of either the Sony stuff or the Philips/Magnavox CDB 650. Many people realized that there were improvements to be made, and that they would sound good.Sony and Philips built to a price point.... 
How do I replace an outlet?
Elizabeth, you are right. The whole process is quite easy. I just don't want to hear from a friend of Audire that he fried himself when he didn't know what he was doing. You are an above average audiophile (that's not supposed to be an insult) plu... 
What is the standard for judging a systems sound?
Onhwy61, what you propose is a very interesting test. I think this would go a long way in judging the difference between the master tape and our choice of playback medium. The question remains though, how much difference is there between the the o... 
insulating after-market speakers
DavesenOne good thing about doing it yourself is that it is just as easy to un-do. Give it a try, I would! 
How do I replace an outlet?
I would suggest, at least the first time find a friend who has done some basic wiring and get them to show you what to do. It is very easy for anyone with even the most basic skills. Just make sure the power is off from the breaker panel!!!Reader ... 
Klyne vs Krell pre-amps, which is sounds better?
I have looked for a KRC-HR or a KRC but haven't found what I wanted. I don't think the KRC-3 is as good as the KRC 2, I would not swap mine in a even trade!That wasn't really the question though. I have heard some of those pre-amps, and I want to ... 
What is the standard for judging a systems sound?
Zaikesman is right. Only my opinion matters, so Bomarc your system sucks, because it isn't the same as mine. Unless of course there is an objective standard.I want there to be an objective standard so I have something real with which to measure my... 
Klyne vs Krell pre-amps, which is sounds better?
Sean, I tried once but I bit my tongue and haven't done it since. 
What is the standard for judging a systems sound?
bomarc, then your system sucks! 
would this Deter you from buying used gear????
If every honest hard working citizen had a gun the crooks, thieves and murderers might think twice about thier line of work. Then people would not need to engrave their names on audio equipment. 
What is the standard for judging a systems sound?
Newbee that's kind of what I was getting at from the outset. The average listener does not have enough information to determine if the music they are hearing sounds anything like the event recorded so they have to opt for a subjectively pleasing l... 
Klyne vs Krell pre-amps, which is sounds better?
Sdcampbell how can I find HiFi+ back issues? I tried using aol search engines but came up with nothing.
