| Where to get hi end cables reterminated It is not always easy to fix cables, some require very specialized equipment or skills. I have a Mapleshade IC that I showed to a very accomplished technician and he said he wouldn't even try to fix it. If only standard materials are used then a m... | |
| Cartridge recommendation Denon 110 is actually better than the 160, I have a 110 in a Scout and it works very well, the VPIs mass isn't that different from the 300, which I have used in the past. I would go with it but the Ortofons are good also. | |
| Where to get hi end cables reterminated I agree with Tpreaves. If you want them repaired check with Spearit Sound, they should be able to help you. | |
| MAS power cords No Mas, no Mas. | |
| How can I use a turntable with a Krell Integrated? They don't. At least the S 300i doesn't but it would be my clear choice. | |
| Someone familiar with older KSA Krell amps I don't think the KSA 50 and 100 Mk 1s had fans. I don't remember them. The 100 weighed over 100 lb. if I remember correctly. Had VERY large heat sinks. | |
| Someone familiar with older KSA Krell amps I was one of their early dealers, had the KSA -50, KSA -100 and KMA 100s. Were excellent for their time but if it were me I would get a new 300i. Cheaper, newer, lighter and better sounding with plenty of power. Not likely to need the repairs that... | |
| 'Bargain' upsampling DACs vs. classic high-end The progress in technology in CD reproduction has mostly been in reverse, better specs, worse sound. I usually use a DAC from 1992, there are better ones now, but not for under $10,000. While I am having it recapped I am using a MF V-DAC, which yo... | |
| Belt Drive Turntable around $500 Wait and spend a little more money, it will save an upgrade or two in the future. | |
| Power amp around $3000 for C-J Classic preamp Musical Fidelity 308 would be one, I have used several of their units. Parasound A21 [the 250 watt stereo] has a good rep. These are both way under your limit. There are just too many possibilities, especially since the speakers are uncertain. Unl... | |
| Old fart needs help with speakers and power req's To Rrog, 2 PS Audio Statement SCs, 2 of the model just below them, 3 Qyaide GPX and a bunch of Gutwire B 16, which I sell, or would if anyone ever bought any. Also 2 BPT boxes. This collection was assembled by the scientific method of buying what ... | |
| New Kudos X2's defy odds? All the reviews I have read of their speakers have been good but no area dealers. | |
| Old fart needs help with speakers and power req's You are proceeding in a way guaranteed to lead to disaster. First decide what kind of sound you like. Then see what kind of speaker provides it and what it takes to drive it. Consider buying used, you get much more for your money. Your room is not... | |
