Krell FPB300 vs 400CX
Try a Transparent Pixl (Power Isolator XL) on either unit to lose the grain entirely. Do a search on this forum for this as I've posted about it in the past. Also, you may want to look at your CD player as it may be responsible for some of the gra...

Kharma CRM3.2 vs Exquisite Mini
The Mini has special resonance control on the accuton ceramic drivers which is laser etched (2 black dots) then specially epoxied to break up certain resonant frequencies of the driver which are handled in the 3.2 electronically by the xover. This... 
Lamm ML 2.1 SET vs ASR Emitter II, DartZel
Looks like some of the inmates have been over to SeaCliff/HP's: http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/amp/messages/80925.html 
Lamm ML 2.1 SET vs ASR Emitter II, DartZel
Henry - Latest version of the CDSD using optical with the latest firmware updates running the DCC2 direct balanced into the ASR with Purist Dominus cabling.Elberoth and Kops. European Enthusiasm? Seems like folks over there have lost their minds o... 
Lamm ML 2.1 SET vs ASR Emitter II, DartZel
Thanks, Boa. I've compared the ASR against some extremely tough competition, including the Lamm ML2.1's which I lived with for a very long time as well as some supremely esoteric, very custom made as well as conventional tube gear that is the best... 
Lamm ML 2.1 SET vs ASR Emitter II, DartZel
Kana - unfortunately the II has 3 battery ps plus the control unit and the I has 2 BPS so space saving is not really a benefit, unfortunately. Boa2, I love these amps and am moving up to the II's! 
Lamm ML 2.1 SET vs ASR Emitter II, DartZel
Jtinn, LOL! In my opinion the ASR is pretty special and may be the one to beat, and yes the convenience and cable savings pay for a good part of the unit (love that remote as well as the other capabilities). I'd love to hear the darTZeel's head to... 
Lamm ML 2.1 SET vs ASR Emitter II, DartZel
Is this HiEnd rock/paper/scissors? Does IMPORTED Overpriced goods beat DOMESTIC overpriced goods? All of the above mentioned could be categorized the way you mention. Unfortunately, some of the best sounding out of the box conventionally built and... 
Kharma 3.2 CRM FE and which power amp?
Logenn,Sounds like you're really enjoying my old amps, LOL! The Exquisites certainly are a far more difficult speaker to drive than the 3.2's but I can assure you the Lamm's don't lack for meeting close to the limits of the 3.2's dynamic capabilit... 
Kharma 3.2 CRM FE and which power amp?
SasaAs the saying goes, everyone has an opinion, but understand that everyone has a perspective and perhaps even an agenda. I'd be careful of this when asking opinions on this forum especially without listening firstly and secondly to have a good ... 
Kharma 3.2 CRM FE and which power amp?
Yes, I've heard the same, he uses the ML2's is my understanding. 
Kharma 3.2 CRM FE and which power amp?
*I heard that Lamm ML2 with own 18watts dont give enough dinamics in medium listening rooms.*Who told you this? For the record, my room is 22x40 ft. approximately and I have not experienced this to be true for what I mostly listen to at the volume... 
Zanden 300B's and cables?
I had Zanden and Dominus and it sounds like almost nothing is in the signal chain, which is what you want, especially with Zanden's design philosophy of less is more. It allows the genius of Yamada's electronics to come through without any editori... 
Best outdoor antenna???
The ST2 doesn't have much gain if you're trying to pick up the Austin stations. I am 45 mi's from Boston and it had problems...If you're that distant you should consider a yagi and rotor.
