Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions
I think you should wait at least 500 hours or more to report back.....that's approximately 3 weeks from tonight. 
Any Tekton users in UK???
So one tweeter surrounded by seemingly the same size drivers for midrange?  Am I missing something here?    
Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions
I love how every rebuttal includes a product plug......"The new K300i 150 watts class A power, built in Ess Sabre pro, Roon endpoint MQA buillt like a tank 52lbs, Apt X Blu Tooth, HDMI in and outputs, and it sounds fantastic $8k not cheap but not ... 
Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions
I am old enough to remenber the fact that Krell has not been Krell since Dan left , or was forced out ...  The KSA were what made Krell famous back then..... Mark Levinson was screwed so badly he lost his naming rights... his own name, can never u...

I saw the XD at Woodbridge... nice stuff 
Highest BUILD quality tube amps?
Another vote for Quicksilver...   super reliable, built like a tank.    Point to point , never any issues with mine.  I've had a few tubes crap out but the fuse did it's job and there was no collateral damage.   Unlike I will ever sell them , they... 
BUY Bryston!!!!!
Just goes to show that if you build a great product there's little to lose in offering an incredible warranty.   This kind of post is really better than any ad spot you could run, it fosters loyalty of existing customers and draws in potential new... 
What preamp creates the largest soundstage?
I have a c-j Classic 2SE and love it too... I have found that with all my sources, DAC , and Vault 2i having remote volume the lack of remote on the Classic is not really such a big deal... this pre checked all the boxes for me. Simple, just volum... 
Have you ever wondered why speaker manufactures do not consign speakers to dealers?
It costs $$$   Two dealers local to me do a pretty good job of showcasing some pretty nice speakers...  Audio Visual Therapy in Nashua and Natural Sound in Framingham.  They have some  pretty expensive speakers on display for demo.   And if you wa... 
Stereo Amp
Don't discount those speakers,  sometimes it's surprising how a move to different electronics can really make a speaker shine.   I think many of today's speakers are so good that they may not really be the weak link in a system and often times are... 
Help me choose an integrated amp to pair with Anthem MRX 520 receiver
I heard the STR integrated when I auditioned my ' phones...awesome piece.  If the STR has a HT passthrough there's no reason they won't work well in that environment.   My Dad has a 520 and it walks all over his previous older B&K pre and amp.... 
Music Streamer Quality
Another vote for Bluesound...  I am loving my Vault 2i.    MQA sounds great,  amazing feature set ,  I really love the bi directional Blutooth, IR control , and aux input .   I hate to say it , but with hi rez its hard to tell which is better, the... 
Fading Display on NAD M3
If it is like the M51 DAC there is a VFD test mode....if so enter the test mode and leave the display on overnight.  Cycle the power and hopefully the characters will be evenly lit 
Are DAC's overpriced?
I remember when affordable DACs like Audio Alchemy and Theta Chrome were popular, the average blue collar guy like myself could afford one.   I had several early DACs and most were pretty good...at least better than the average decent CD player at... 
New Bluesound's Node 2i
Thanks, sounds great ... better than I expected.
