| Any experience with Krell KRS-2 6-chasis version I believe the 6 chassis balanced unit was called the KRS and was in the $8000 range. The 3 chassis unit (power supply transformer was the third piece so you can separate from phono section) was the KRS-2 which sold for about$4500 in 1987. Stereoph... | |
| Opinions on Yamaha CT 7000 Tuner The CT 7000 is indeed one of the all time classic tuners. For what it's worth, both Stereophile and Absolute Sound rated this tuner as their highest classification in its day. It's not too often they agree! Interestingly, when you can find one, th... | |
| Better Speaker Cables for Apogee Ribbons You didn't specify what Apogee speaker you have. The Divas work best with the Nordost SPM. Duettas may need the extra high end sparkle that the much lower priced Nordost Blue Heaven cables provide. I suggest you check out the Apogee Acoustics User... | |
| The best Subwoofer I never thought I would find happiness with a sub-woofer working with the Apogee Divas, but a Muse 18 using the Diva "personality card" brings the Divas alive. Integration is spot on. The Muse company still makes the custom cards available for a w... | |

| "Krell" is a buzzword Megasam: I thought the term Krell preceeded the Forbidden Planet. Krell was the name of a planet with unlimited power in a very early sci-fi serial, perhaps Buck Rogers??? Other old timers may want to help here!! I currently own three Krell produc... | |
| where to find sacd's?? Kkirkpa:For sure you have to look for the SACD. Not sure if you said what you meant but the Telarc "red book" 16./44.1 CD of an original DSD recording will play on both standard CD players and SACD players. It's probably more useful to refer to th... | |
| Top Ten Turntables of All Time?? As a breakthrough design, I have to pick the original AR turntable (1962) as one of the most significant tables. While the arm had excessive friction, the table itself revolutionized the genre. The three point suspension and low speed synchronous ... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment And any differences heard between amplifiers are in reality slight differences in sound level. And audio cables can't possibly make a difference.... | |
| Aleph-3 Questions You sound like me. I am very hard on every new piece of gear--fear of failure, perhaps. I say relax and let this wonderful piece of gear break in. And yes, it needs at least one hour of warm up before sounding good. And longer is better. Going dir... | |
| Top Ten Tube Amps of All Time? Ferrari: You and I are of the same "generation". Working my way through college, I sold both Marantz and McIntosh tube equipment. My hands down favorite from that period was the 8B. Within its power range, I preferred it to the model 9. The origin... | |
| Aleph-3 Questions I purchased my Aleph 3 as a demo with very few hours on it. I was initially disappointed that it did not sound as good--a little raw--as the used ones I had heard. Once broken in, I have no complaints. Be patient; I think you will be very pleased.... |
