| Weird issue with my VPI... please help What's your phono pre and what settings are you using? | |
| Best sounding Krell ? Lihifi,"When in direct comparison to a good Preamp./Amp. combo, the KAV-400xi sounds dead/lifeless/boring"This is simply untrue. The 400xi is an exceptional integrated and is anything but dead/lifeless/boring when compared to a good preamp/amp com... | |
| Your Second System Use your best stuff where you will most often hang out and listen to music simply for sake of it. What room do you find yourself gravitating toward mostly? | |
| Krell KAV-400xi vs. Parasound A21+P3 Zormi, I agree with what you say. However, depending on the size room to be filled and the dynamic needs of the listener, design considerations aside, sonically and muscially the 400xi is a value winner. As I said it compares favorably with my KCT... | |
| Best sounding Krell ? Audiogabby what speakers are you driving? Perhaps you don't need one of the highest powered versions. | |
| Best sounding Krell ? Dave_b is right on as I also am using a 400xi in my second system and it has all the great sonic hallmarks of the cx series, in fact I compared it to the KCT/400cx combo for the first day and a half A/Bing it driving Thiel CS6s, a rather difficult... | |
| Krell KAV-400xi vs. Parasound A21+P3 I read that Stereophile review several times before I decided to take a chance on the 400xi because I too had concerns. According to John Atkinson's measurements taken of the Thiel 2.4: "Not only does its impedance drop to 2.73 ohms at 600Hz, but ... | |
| Best sounding Krell ? The cx series of the Full Power Balanced amplifiers is/was Krell's most advanced state of the art of the FPB series. My other extensive listening experience was to audition at several venues an FPB 600 circa 1997. In my opinion the cx series captu... | |
| Krell KAV-400xi vs. Parasound A21+P3 Audiobroke is correct in that I have not heard that particular Parasound combination, but I did own a Parasound PLC1100 preamp and model 1200 - 250 WPC power amp combo (both John Curl designed) several years ago. Krell gear is simply superior for ... | |
| Best sounding Krell ? ditto the 400cx, this is the keeper for life in my main system | |
| Krell KAV-400xi vs. Parasound A21+P3 There is no reason to get the Krell other than to improve the overall musical experience. | |
| VTA adjustment for VPI 10.5 tonearm I have a JMW10.5/Aries 2 and my solution to VTA was to set the arm tube to parallel with the record surface using a millimeter ruler and a 180 gram LP, with the cartridge aligned and set for proper VTF, of course.The last thing I want to do is scr... | |
| Capacitor burn in, Capacitor Cooker? Need help... The best way to "break something in," be it electrical or mechanical, is to simply put it into the intended service application. | |
| Speaker placement: Your favourite shortcut? I put those plastic glides under the speakers to easily move them small increments until I get the imaging and soundstaging like using recordings I am highly familiar with. | |
| CD player for Mcintosh/Krell int amp So Dave, exactly what is "musical?"Do you mean to say that via CAST, Krell does not provide music?I'm truly happy to have found other Krellophiles but this use of the term "musicality" is such a turn off; it carries no reference, is meaningless an... |
