| Not sure what to think I did not expect the outpouring of responses to this thread which have all been very positive. So many great perspectives, from tubes to room treatment to DACs to transport, and then even perspectives like the one above on how I could just enjoy t... | |
| Not sure what to think @deone That is an idea I had not thought of. Thank you! | |
| Not sure what to think @terry9 When you say “digital front end” do you mean the preamp which is where this discussion started or something different? The OPPO/DAC? Give this ignorant audiophile a clue… | |
| Not sure what to think @jasonbourne71 I appreciate that perspective. I don't nearly enough about the very technical side of these pieces. Another level of being an audiophile for sure. @soix Yeah, one of the dealers was excited for me to try tubes or a hybrid. I have n... | |
| Krell Service - speakers buzzing Update: I tried a few tests with the cheater plug, unplugging one or the other XLR cables; no luck. Today I tried a new preamp using all the same cables and no buzz. I think I’ve done everything to indicate the Krell is the issue? | |
| Krell Service - speakers buzzing Thank you everyone. I am trying to figure out how to borrow another preamp. I don’t know a lot of other hifi people locally. I appreciate the link to the service center above. It’s looking that way as I really don’t want to buy a new unit if I don... | |
| Krell Service - speakers buzzing @erik_squires Thank you. This is all good advice and tests I can try. Greatly appreciated. | |
| Krell KAV-250p - time for change? You knowledgeable people are killing me! Oh, wait, that’s why I posted in the first place. I will leave the Krell alone. For now. :-) | |
| B&W 801 Series 80 Bi-amping Ok, so this looks like an internal wiring job. Thanks for confirming this is way beyond anything I’m willing to attempt. Single channel it is. | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? @imaninatural Thank you, I will add Rythmik to my list. I've seen their name come up a few times now. | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? @mijostyn Thanks for the clear and logical explanation. I learn something new every time. | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? @cindyment They are Series 80s. | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? Saying thank you again. I will definitely look at both SVS and REL, and I've already reached out about room treatments before I do anything else. I really appreciate the input as I put my audiophile research hat back on. | |
| Krell KAV-250p - time for change? @lalitk Ha! That’s exactly what a responder said on my sub thread. I reached out to GIK yesterday with their cool online tool. | |
| Krell KAV-250p - time for change? @lalitk Thanks for the insider baseball. And no one is giving me a good reason to give up the Krell. :-) I guess that was good advice all those years ago when I bought it. I think this thread has convinced me to keep the Krell and continue to put ... |
