| How much power is to much power? DF is simply load impedance divided by source impedance.Nothing more. | |
| Best recorded rock album.Amused to Death.R.Waters? Amused to Death is nowhere the album that Wish You Were Here is. This is more of Water's ramblings about his disatisfaction with his life and the world in general. Even Radio KAOS was more satisfying to my ears."What God wants, God gets"...yeah, w... | |
| Music for Riding a Storm Out? Any CCR | |
| Does colored vinyl sound as bad as picture discs? The issue is how good the recording was made, the mastering, the cutting and pressing, and also very importantly the quality of the vinyl plug used. Only virgin vinyl is best, recycled vinyl is not as quiet. All the major NOS vinyl pressers bemoan... | |
| Preamp with theater passthrough. Option? Krell KCT | |
| How to break in pre-amps ? I feel that systems need to be connected and running for any component to be properly "beaking in." A tuner would be better than an iPod as continuous source. Just play music and enjoy the process, no need to artificially get there. | |
| CD player NOT made in China under $1,000? I've always found it interesting that a company like Matsushitas Industries that make the Panasonic and Technics lines never really got going on the hight end. Onkyo at one time tried to begin heading in that direction, and some of their late 70s ... | |
| Best sounding Krell ? Well, I can't afford an MIT AC2 cable right now but I do have an HT AC15 PC on the way for the 400xi. I'll let you know when I get this installed and have listen. | |

| Which upgrade first : Cartridge or Phono preamp ? I agree with Johnnyb53. | |
| Best sounding Krell ? To respectfully counter Unsound's assertion, and as a happy owner of both FPB and KAV series components, I do believe, no, correct that, I am certain that the KAV series deserves to wear the Krell logo. The KAV series underscores how Krell HAS kep... | |
| Best sounding Krell ? Shadorne: Very interesting, and when I close my ears and use only my eyes what I envision is you on a stage performing to this script wearing a type of costume not unlike that found on two particular fellows found in a standard deck of Bicycle pla... | |
| Phono Preamp Suggestions? You can't go wrong with an EAR 834P, buy a used one on Audiogon and if you don't like it (but I know you will, I have two of them) you can easily sell it to another member.A great value and sonically one of the best in its class.Steve | |
| Best sounding Krell ? As promised, I asked Dan D'Agostino if he could comment as to some of the sentiment expressed here. He kindly responded:Stephen,Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It always amazes me how some people can talk, with such authority, about s... | |
| Best sounding Krell ? "Cheesy construction and mediocre sound?"Hah, that's a good try but I'm afraid it's a rather lame flame.And what is it that is not, in your estimation, MACROJACK?C'mon, bait the hook, you know you can. |
