Just discovered Krell SACD Standard plays MP3s
Yeah,by mistake ,while listening in the dark,i inserted Uriah Heep 1970-1980 (11 albums) and saw the display read MP3 just before it started playing.Probably,the ability to read MP3s is built in all DVD drives by default. 
Krell or Mark Levinson with Revel Ultima2's???
I can't say for Ultima2 because i own original Salons but in my experience it was tough to make Salons sound a bit forward.After numerous experiments Pass amplifiers with pre 1987 conrad-johnson tube preamps (Premier 10,14)did the trick.Now i feel... 
Pet Sounds:why CD mono version is so noisy?
Onhwy61,i chose Pink floyd as a comparison where original mono mixes from the same time frame (66-67) outperform stereo ones in quality and dynamics.They used numerous overdubs too. 
Best guitar explosion of all time
Robert Fripp did a good job in "Baby's on Fire" so i second Hiend2 opinion. 
1A fuse instead of 1/2A fuse: any problem?
I don't need Radio Shak fuses.The whole point is to try Isoclean fuse which supposedly is the best there is.And yes,it cost 30 bucks too.

Best Place for Negative Reviews?
Old Stereophiles from mid to late 80s had a whole bunch of negative reviews.It is very refreshing sometimes to go back and revisit the good old times of true audio reviewing.Unfortunately,it's not a case anymore.I am tired of reviewers raving abou... 
region 1 or pal, better picture?
PAL has more lines of resolution,NTSC is faster frame rate.PAL discs definitely look better. 
Upgrading a CJ PV-10A
I second Rushton's opinion.Bill was a Chief Senior Engineer at Conrad-Johnson for many years so he knows the best where they cut corners.When i was upgrading my unit,i got raving reccomendations from CJ tech guys themselves.Be prepared for several... 
CDP Upgrade: Around 2k Used
Krell SACD Standard.Don't bother with SACDs (they're great,btw)but get it for CD playback.You will not regret it.Nothing comes close. 
CAL Delta/Sigma II combo - any good?
I had them for about 10 years,served me well as a backup combo.I liked Sigma 2 better than Alpha.It had more tube magic despite having only 1 12ax7 instead of 2 and the voltage output was higher so it doubled my power amp capabilities from the get... 
Any Can fans out there?
Oh yeah and they have huge audio archives posted too.Just google them. 
Any Can fans out there?
On WFMU they still play it day in and day out.Great station in NJ. 
Any Can fans out there?
After all Can albums the next thing that tops my charts is Eno/Cluster "After the Heat" lp from 1978.I have it on German vinyl (Sky Records)
