Krell anticipator circuits of the 1990s
I heard  a set of bryston  7b monoblocks  compared  to the krell fbp600. I am not s bryston  fan but I found them to sound much better in that system  that day. A friend used to have a set of krell kma monoblocks  I really liked them. I never like... 
Chord DAVE DAC
It tells me anytime  some one says a really cheap piece is better than a top flight piece You know the only thing that has happened is the good piece is showing  how bad the rest of there system is.   
Speaker positioning and center image depth
@hifibliss that's correct I have the wrong song name. It's been awhile the horse goes around the room and comes  through the center of the sound stage from across  the street. Lol I had an audio file  boxer bull dog cross. Lol he would sit deD cen...

You might want to look at furutech cables.  Look into these kine of the do it yourself. If you are a bit handy you can put ends on there power cable sleakerwire and interconnect s. The house sound is detailed and warm.

Seeking suggestions for 6922 tubes
Russian  reflectors I have found work well in my canary  ca 160 amps. Also I really like them in my sonic frontier  dac3. Gold lion new production are the best of the new made tubes but I prefer  the nose tubes. I had a pair of valvo  6922 that I ... 
Moved from medium attic like room to larger room, everything is too bright

Tweaking the network, surprising results…

Well I would think hard about the sonic frontier mainly because of  parts connection.  If you need anything  Chris Johnson  that owns parts connection used to own sonic frontier  and will look after any problems or needs you have. Excellent  servi...
