| Remember Electraglide? Oops wrong forum, I thought you were talking about Harley's! | |
| First purchase of high end ICs/wire I have had great success with most of the Cardas cables especially the Neutral Reference, but I have replaced all my ICs with Purist Audio Design cables in the last year. They cost a lot, but they are worth it! | |
| SOTA vs. Rega, VPI, Music Hall, Clearaudio Donna and Kirk are the owners and the people to talk to at Sota. You never mentioned what table you have, so it's hard to say if another table would be an improvement.Sota has a great upgrade program. Your local dealer can explain it to you, or if... | |
| Speakers that work in a medium room to match Krell Just to throw a wrench in the works, I would suggest going with a monitor for the reason that the speaker has to be about 12" from the rear wall. Using a full sized/full range speaker that close to the wall is going to tend to exaggerate the low f... | |
| Best solid state power amp for $1k I would suggest the Aragon 8008st or 8008BB depending on whether your pre-amp has balanced outputs. The 8008 will meet your power requirements as listed above, and will drive virtually anything down to 2ohm speakers.I had one a few years ago and w... | |
| SACD Opinions: Gimmick? Like it? Don't? Why? I have a Sony SCD 777es which is a two channel player. I have no use for nor any interest in multichannel gear. I'm running Krell for amp and pre-amp if it matters.I have had the Sony for about a year and have been very impressed with it. If you h... | |
| Can speakers be too good? It is possible for speakers to be too good for your system. There are speakers that will not be right for your system or your room. I would guess you would be happiest with a two driver monitor. The simpler crossover (assuming you buy from a reput... | |
| To Biwire or not to biwire The last three sets of speakers I owned were bi-wireable. I started with jumpers, but soon went to bi-wire and have never gone back to the jumpers(which were good cable too). I have been very happy with the results of bi-wiring and have no intenti... | |
| Rate these on order of importance: If it's only about the music, we'd all have bose acoustic wave machines because sound quality wouldn't matter! | |
| Rate these on order of importance: The point is that if the signal can be transfered to the speakers with a fair degree of accuracy that the speakers will have something of quality with which to work. Garbage in Garbage out! If the signal is so corrupted when it arrives at the spea... | |
| Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse.... If Stereophile says new gear is getting worse, it must be the best gear released in years. As we know everything Stereophile says is wrong, especially when they agree with me. | |
| Krell questions and comments mrcyn, the KRC II is a big step up, the KRC-HR is huge. KCT is another animal altogether and one with which I have no experience.You would be very pleased with an HR! | |
| Rate these on order of importance: Is it safe to assume that many people (incorrectly) choose speakers as the most important because they are the most flawed piece of gear in the system?Why would people choose as most important a piece that has least to do with the reproduction of ... | |
| Which cartrige would you go with? I have looked at some of these cartridges lately. I have a Benz Glider, but I would like to upgrade. My choice when the time comes has been narrowed to the Shelter 901. The Lyra is really a top performer, but for the money the Shelter is a real st... | |
| How did you get into this hobby? I was in Milwaukee for the weekend and decided to stop by the ole stomping grounds. My grade school was still there as was most of the assorted debris. Even then it was a collecting point for vagrants!I rounded the corner where I had met the frien... |
