| Best Thread on Audiogon? Audio related I agree with Rcprince, great thread with lots of answers. Not audio related, the thread about the best beer in the world, had no idea there were so much good beer out there. Good beer is like a fine wine, you don't forget the good on... | |
| active or passive? Most cdp (not all) will have no trouble with that, I have a sony player (xa777) and the krell ksa-250 is 2.2V for full output. I do have transformer PVC which may or may not help out with mine. I have read that the F.T. audio passive also works fi... | |
| active or passive? Marakanetz, interesting answer, mine works great with my ksa-250. The ksa-150 is even better match. What did you base your answer on? | |
| a research or krell pre amp for krell ksa-150 amp? Drrdiamond, so what are you trying to say, his ksa-150 is an old piece of crap. He asked about a pre to use with his ksa-150 and you tell him all the newer krells just blow the doors off his. For one thing that is not true at all, as a matter of f... | |
| a research or krell pre amp for krell ksa-150 amp? I have Krell ksa-250 and use a Bent audio passive (transformer volume control) as pre. You would have to spend big $$$ to do better. Has rca/xlr in and out and runs about $1200 new from bentaudio.com, they will let you try one if you want. The guy... | |
| Help with solving this dilemma You can keep the Clayton and the tube pre in your system if you want to, If you go with the Yamaha you can use its amps for center and rears and if you go with a pre/pro you will need to add some amps. Can't really help until you make up your mind... | |
| Power amp sensitivity....... Krell ksa-150 is 1.7v with 47K impedance. | |
| Advice wanted I would settle in on my speaker choice first and then get an amp that can do the job. Your choice of speaker will dictate amp needs. This may also save you some $$ in the long run as there is no shortage of good amps out there. | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? Very easy to tell which cable sounds best when you change interconnects on a good passive pre. Also on ES and ribbon type speakers. Phono cables also. I have some stax headphones that I think could show cable change for the good or bad very easy a... | |
| Osiris stand owners..... I bought a set last summer but have only used them once so far because I bought them for side speakers in a seven channel setup. I still have not bought my side speakers. I did try them unfilled with my vmps 626's I use for rear speakers and can s... | |
| spend more money on pre or power amp ? Get the best pre you can get, tube would be nice with your ribbons or a top of the line passive. I would do this first. I have read that the new Ampzilla amp is one of the best with the RM-40's. As you may already know, the RM-40's are not plug an... | |
| Would like to upgrade to 5.1 and DTD from prologic You can get a cable that is DB-25 at one end with 6 rca's at the other end (monster makes one at about $150). I did this very thing when I had an onkyo unit at one time in the past. You then use the DD/DTS decoders in the DVD player and you are al... | |
| upgrading Onkyo 919 reciever to 5.1 and better Does your onkyo have a set of 5.1 analog inputs? If it does, you can decode in the player itself. If not, get rid it and get something new. | |
| Another Sub Q: Is my sub mismatched with speakers? Find the point where your speakers start to roll off their bass, maybe the point where they are down 3db. and cross over at a point above this. Some overlap between the mains and sub will sound best, find this by listening. Subs work best for musi... | |
| Vintage amp and Hi-end speakers-good match I have a vintage sansui au-717 that sounds pretty good so I would say yes, as long as you compare it's sound to good midfi amps on the market. I have an onkyo m-504 amp which is older midfi amp and it sounds even better. If I compare them to my ot... |
