Integrated to replace krell 300i
Thanks for all the responses. I had a feeling the room was a big part of the problem. I think that Chris described the krell better than me, sterile, unemotional and cold. I'm not really sure where to start with the room treatments. I've thought o... 
DVD player with a silent transport??
Has anyone had any experience with the Pioneer elite 47A. Also, I am not all that interested in SACD or DVD-A and don't really want to pay the extra money for it. Any other suggestions?

Building an equipment rack from scratch
I have actually already made one of those out of 3/4" walnut plywood edged with solid walnut. I used 3/4" threaded rod painted black on all four corners and one in the back middle. Right now I have my tv, center channel, dvd player, receiver, and ...

Krell KAV300i help
Thanks for the help. It turns out that it was the cable tv. I had everything, including the cable tv, running through a Monster HTS 1000 power bar. Just a couple of days ago I disconnected the cable tv from the power bar and ran it staight to the ...
