| whats changed in audio & is it better The personal computer (a modern inconvenience) has changed the way we do business and our lives forever. I'm a tire kicker and much prefer to see, touch & hear a piece of audio gear before I buy it. Of course once you bring it home sometimes i... | |
| running musical x-150 230 volt amp on 110? Qualia8 it is good that you didn't take a chance with the incorrect voltage for any length of time. The amperage is different for 120v & 230v and also explains why the fuse value will have to be changed once the voltage is changed. Maybe 120 v... | |
| How much is too much... Hi Thegoldenear, although I have not personally heard either one of the speakers you mentioned above, I would strongly suggest that you go with efficient speakers if you don't want to invest in costlier amps that are over 100 watts per channel. I ... | |
| Older Audio Research Preamp Capacitors - ? When making a purchase and the ad states the seller had new caps installed the first thing you should ask is who did the work. If done by the seller himself you have to wonder if the new caps are the same value and if installed correctly. If non-p... | |
| running musical x-150 230 volt amp on 110? Long time ago, I used an amp that was wired for 230 volts on a 120 volts. The amp played fine & no damage occured but the amp probably did not play to its full potential. (I still would recommend having the correct voltage set as soon as possi... | |

| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Whoaru99, how true! Price don't dictate a cable's compatability in ones system. | |
| Misleading ad titles and prices Entrope, wow, India, wish that particular one was in my home again. Yes, I understand your addiction & affection for tube gear, I own the CJ MV-55 tube amp. I will always keep an SS amp as an alternative. Hope the availability of tubes don't e... | |
| How much is too much... Excellent answers above. If you could tell us what speakers you will be driving, this would be a good starting point and go from there. | |
| Misleading ad titles and prices Hi Entrope, how are you? Yea I seen those ads as well. My feeling if they can't be upfront with their pricing, they are not worth looking into. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Larryken, Amen! | |
| Did I make a mistake buying Krell? It is my opinion when purchasing a pair of speakers you are laying the foundation to hopefully a very good system. Most of your dollars should go there and matching other components are critical. When reading other peoples reviews on amps the firs... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Nrchy, definately the yo yo effect! I wonder if a mad scientist working out of a laboratory qualifies as scientific? | |
