Help With Optimal Revel Studio Placement?
Sounds like you are sitting at the null point - 1/2 of room length. If this is the case you might consider moving the seats back to 2/3 of L. You might consider using a CD with lots of bass and walk around the room and find the spot that sounds be... 
Revel Studio Discussion- Everything Studio Here
Kal,Did you do a comparison of studio and salon? I currently own the Studios but wonder if the Salon is much better. My listening area is about 16 x 25 which I think mght be too small for the salons.Rich

Krell FPB 600, XLR short pins
Insert the U pins between pins 1 and 3 of the XLR connectors and that should take care of the humming problem. I had the same problem and the shorting pins really helped. 
any krell power amplifier users use tube preamps?
Mike,I have Krell amps but I don't use a tube preamp with them. You can remove the jumpers in the amp yourself. You don't need to send it to Krell or need a dealer. Just remove the top cover and you'll see 2 jumpers on a small PC board located nea... 
What's this stuff on the back of a PS Audio Outlet
The blue devices are Y caps used for high frequency filtering. They are connected between line to ground and neutral to ground. The large square device is a surge suppresor connected across line to neutral. Rich 
Power Chords or Power Plants?
Power Plant will give more improvement than cords. PP will reduce noise and fix ac distortion. Cords will help reduce noise pick up or emission but it can't fix low line or distortion. 
Genesis Stealth
You might want to check with Paul McGown of PS Audio. I think he was the designer.Rich 
Krell HTS Change from 60 to 50Hz
Yes, Ben is correct. On the newer Krell equipment there is a programable chip in a socket that monitors the voltage frequency and it must be changed for different voltage frequency. There is one my FPB amp and it's labeled as 60 Hz. The chip is pr... 
Popping Sound from Krell 200FPB
It's possible that you have some DC offset from your preamp. You might want to remove the jumpers on the input board on the Krell so that the input is AC couple through the capacitors. You need to remove the top cover and you'll see two jumpers on... 
Revel B-15 LFO setup???
Jon,Set the B15's crossover to 80 Hz with the processor set to full range. Otherwise, the the sub will be crossed over twice - once by the processor and the second time in the B15's crossover. Enter the actual value, not the difference.Depending o... 
What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did?
A few years ago my mother did some laundry during her visit and since it's was warm day, she decided to hang the laundry outside. I wasn't home to help her so she made a cloth line using my Kimber interconnect cables. I didn't realized my cables w... 
BNC to RCA
Dan,Radioshack has them. I have bought a few before. In fact, I will be buying three more this weekend to convert a BNC cable to RCA male. They have female RCA to BNC and male RCA to BNC. The other place you can try is digikey.com or partsexpress.... 
Aerial Sw 12 vs Revel B 15 Subs ?
I have heard the SW12 and the B25 but not side by side so it's difficult to say which is better. However, I did purchase the B15 and it's used for 2 channel music and HT. The B15 does have a few advantages over the SW12 - $1500 less, more features... 
Power Cable for Wadia 860X
Why is that many PC are named after some kind of fish/mammal or snake? Just an observation.
