Why do my albums sound better at the end???
It's possible that the tonearm/cartridge is not adjusted probably. It's been awhile since I used a turntable but I am sure someone will come up with the proper adjustment procedure. 
Why upgrade transport???
The Pioneer PD65 is a very good transport and it was used by Wadia and Theta. If you are planning to buy a used transport, check with the manufacturer to see if they still have spare transport parts. Philips stopped making the transport that's use... 
Revel S30 Surround Speakers
I also have the Embrace. I have it set at bipole rather dipole. The difference is not that big of a deal to my ears anyway. 
What about the ultimate home theater????
Charles,I think the Revel/Levinson HT system retails for $125K to 150K. The speakers are about $45K. The ML40 is $30K and the mono amps are $4-5K each. I am planning to get a demo of the Revel/Levinson system at a local shop in a couple of weeks.

1 channel Krell FPB-200
Richard,Don't encourage Josh to sell his FPB200. I am hoping that he would buy my FPB200. Seriously, I have compared the mono FPB250 to the 200 and the monoblocks are much better but it also cost alot more. In my current system, I have 3 FPB250M a... 
1 channel Krell FPB-200
You can use only one channel of the FPB 200. However, you'll get more out of it if you used two of them for bi-amping. Use one channel for the mid/high and the other channel for the bass. No point in wasting the other channel. 
What makes phono cables different?
The quality of the connectors and sheilding makes a difference since it's carrying very small signal. Listen for background noise and hum with the tonearm lifted. I have found Audioquest Anaconda and Amazon to be very quite. 
HELP - my speaker just turned into a radio
Does the CA300 have a switch for selecting RCA and balanced. If so, it should be selected to balanced if you are using balanced cables. If you are using RCA cable, make sure that pins 1 and 3 of the CA300 XLR connecotrs are shorted oterwise you ma... 
r.f.i.
I think you need to find out if the rf is being picked by the amp or preamp. Do you still get noise if you connect the Wadia directly to the amp?If so, then it's most likey the amp is picking up the noise. Tube equipment tend to have very high inp... 
What's the differences between Krell's Cxs and Mc
Vader,Thanks for your reply. Can you describe the sound improvements. Do you know what the upgrade cost is?Thanks 
Help with trigger voltage differential - Thanks
You can get a small DC to Dc converter that'll will convert 5V to 12V. You can find it at digikey.com and the P/N is 179-1070-nd. It cost about $15 and very easy to use. Good luck. 
amp/preamp fit with Revel
Emster,I use three Krell FPB250M monoblocks with my Revel Studios and Voice center speaker. I have listened to Revel speakers with Levinson and Proceed and I prefer Krell amps. Some people say Krell is bright and forward but I didn't find that to ... 
Denon DVD-5000 or Pioneer Elite DV-09 ????
I have the DV09 and the 9000ES. If you don't care for SACD and progessive then the DV09 is a better machine. The DV09's picture is richer and audio has a larger soundstage when using its digital output and S video out. I didn't compare audio in an...
