Single-ended amps with Martin Logans
Dekay: So Carl Eber studied the torah? oy vey! Nevertheless, that was a very funny post... "with MIT cables?" heh heh. You think he might have something to say about the Bottlehead? I'm sure, and I look forward to it. I was reading Gizmo's article... 
Single-ended amps with Martin Logans
Dekay, Your's was the first mention I've heard of Decware. Well, I just spent a couple of hours there, and it's an awesome site. It truly seems as though these guys now what they're doing!! Thanks. 
What does what?
Listen to this one. My dealer just installed a customer's HT. This customer bought everthing from reviews. The amps were 5 Krell 350fpbmcs and the mains were Aerial 7b. 7b??? Wow. I asked why didn't the customer get the 10Ts? That's when he told m... 
speaker degradation question
John_l, I think what you said about HT speakers all depends on what speakers that you are using. I suppose if the setup is one of those bargain HT speaker packages that you might be correct. For HT, I use Aerial 10Ts as L/R, CC3 as center, and SR3... 
DAC Help
Justy, I'm not totally familiar with the B&K receiver, but my understanding is that all inputs are digitized. Eg, an analog in (a tuner, a CD player, etc.) will be subject to the receiver's A/D then D/A. So, I'm missing your point in trying to... 
What does what?
Ohhwy61, I agree 100%. Now my dilemma is that I have almost all Krell electronics, Cardas cabling, and Aerial 10T speakers and Aerial's center and surrounds. In electronics is where there's going to be departure. I use a Fanfare tuner, and it fits... 
DB-25 Interconnects?
I would suggest looking into computer parts companies. After all, computers are the genesis of the DB25 connectors.This is true unless I misunderstand; e.g., DB25 -> RCA connectors. Good luck. And please let us know the results of your search. 
Resolution Audio CD-55..Past Threads...
I've actually found the past threads and this one quite interesting. I truly hope these threads will continue regardless of the piece. I still feel a need to wait to upgrade, as I really want a great universal player/transport. I intentionally avo... 
Best Speakers for small room under $3.5k
Outlier, in addition to cable changes, you need to consider room treatments. You haven't mentioned a thing about your room. In fact, I rarely see the room, as a component, mentioned. I do like Phild's recommendation on Cardas cables, esp. Golden C... 
TOP TEN solid state amps of all time?
Krell full power balanced amps with cast system. They're a totally different animal than the prior ones (fpb) with no cast. And you don't need to use the cast cables with the FPBc amps; balanced cables do just fine. I'd have to look at the lists f... 
Top Ten Tuners of all Time??
I'm totally thrilled with the Fanfare FT-1A! I wanted a great analog tuner with digital ease of use; this is it. 
Silent Running Audio
Rzado, Exactly what differences did you note between the SRA and Zoethecus amp stands? Thanks in advance! 
Why Is Krell Not Considered Hifi?
Wow! I didn't know that about Krell. But I sure know that a number of audiophiles are turned off by Krell for reasons that are beyond me. And the Krell-bashers are amazing! But, you know what? I am thoroughly pleased with the music that they (HTS,... 
Fair comparison? DA Conver vs HighEndCD
Mfgrep, Would you kindly share the mechanical difficulties you had with the Muse 8/296? I certainly would apprciate it. Oh, and I thoroughly agree with the comments that you made here. Thanks! 
Home Theatre - Hoax or Substance?
Personally, I find that there's more lousy sounding surround recordings than good ones. But when its a good one, it's awesome! So far, the best are DTS encoded.
