| Haven't played my LP's in 20 years - still good? They will play fine if they have been stored properly, not exposed to high heat and heavy weight. I have many many albums I purchased new when I started collecting from 1969 to present that still sound fabulous and I am so happy I took good care o... | |
| could someone compare krell vs. classe audio ? I own Krell and have listened to Classe a few times at shows, dealer show rooms etc. The "choice" really depends on what level in each of these manufacturers lines we're talking about. And especially in the context of the system you're considering... | |
| tube/integrated 2ch beginner Ditto Trelja on this. The 302b is VERY hard to beat FOR THE MONEY. A great entry level all tube integrated amplifier. | |
| Are you open minded about loudspeaker designs? Totally close minded: I own Meadowlark, Thiel and Vandersteen specifically because, after listening to other manufacturer's designs, I am convinced that time and phase coherent designs sound best to my ears. | |
| bryston14b to krell 400 Worth every penny the difference. | |
| Hall of Fame: BIGGEST BADDEST Monster Amps "Monster" amps should be those that are not current limited into real world loads.The only amps made that have the ability to double current into halved impedances are those solid-state-of-the-art pieces made by Levinson and Krell. And Krell does ... | |
| Krell FPB 300cx vs FPB400cx Dbld: Yes I believe that is part of the answer. I also read that the circuit that keeps the amp biased into Class A was also upgraded so that this happens in extrememly short time frames and stays there for 9 minutes before resetting. The toroidal... | |
| Speaker upgrade????? The Vandersteen 2Ce signatures I purchased a month ago have brought more happiness into my music listening experience than any other upgrade I've ever made in the past. They are truly the best speaker value for the money. Ionly wish I had happened... | |
| A tade more briteness - Jolida 302b. Tubes? I have settled on the the following combination after much experimentation with current issue tubes.Svetlana EL34 (also tried Mullard, JJ Tesla, Mesa Boogie, Chinese stock)Tung-Sol 12AX7 (also tried Ei, JJ Tesla, EH, Sovtek)Mullard 12AT7 (also tri... | |
| is music hall out of business? Thank You Roy! Lovin' the sound of that MMF7 I bought a couple of months ago! | |
| Audio desk CD Sound Improver While shopping for Meadowlark speakers a couple of years ago at a dealership in San Jose, CA, the dealer had just gotten one of these and wanted to demonstrate for me the audible "improvement." My wife was with me too. We listened to a recent rele... | |
| Tube substitute in Jolida 302b. 12AU7 for 12AT7? No, you cannot. BUT I substituted the stock 12AT7s with current matched (within the dual triode) Mullard 12AT7s and the sound improved. Also swap out the stock Chinese 12AX7s for Tung-Sols and you will be amazed at the improvement. | |
| Krell FPB 300cx vs FPB400cx When I switched amps from Bryston 7BSTs to Krell I initially purhased a 300cx and had that for two days before realizing that, concsistent with my thoughts at that time about upgrading my speakers later, I had sufficient funds and time to return i... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Seam: Are you Driving Me Crazy? | |
| Looking for new speakers As you have some experience now with time coherence from the Martin Logans, at least with the electrostatic panel portion of that speaker, you may well value time and phase coherence. My suggestion is to add Vandersteen first and Thiel second as p... |
