| Here's a "must have" for you female vocalists fans I think Norah has a cameo (yes...with piano and voice) in the latest Sandra Bullock-Hugh Grant romantic comedy formula flick. I didn't stick around for the credits, but surely it was her. | |
| would this Deter you from buying used gear???? Engraving will NOT prevent resale to an individual buyer of stolen goods, but it will probably stop the out of town pawnshop routine. It may or may not keep you from being burglerized. The two issues are completely different. A thief may not have ... | |
| Do you leave your SS amp on all the time? It's one most of the time. I shut down if I know I'm not listening for two days or if a storm approaches. I use it almost every day. | |
| Why are you here? ...music or equipment I upgrade only every few years (generally not the entire system at once either), hence I'm here mainly for equipment right now, but after I'm done with this round of upgrading I'll be here for the forum discussions and the music. | |

| Should I Upgrade My Krells I tend to doubt the problems you cite are all Krell related.I'd really work with the cables and speaker positioning before I sell and give up a known quantity, the Krells, for an unknown quantity. I also want to think the old Krell electronics wou... | |
| Bryston 14B-ST & SST comparisons I'm thinking there was a recent review in either The Absolute Sound or Stereophile. Perhaps that will help you to a degree? Seems to be an impressive unit. | |
| HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas Keep in mind, Mike, that the US distributor has made cetain that a small group of mostly US purchasers never consider buying from EC. Sadly, stuff like this is what grows into negative rumors of epic proportions.... Furthermore, why would anyone (... | |
| Bridging Bryston 3B-STs a few questions I'm open to all suggestions on amps and preamps for the Thiels. I've heard them with Krell, BAT, Gryphon, c-j, Bryston, B&K, Levinson, Hafler and Audio Research. Many of these amps have not been heard in their latest incarnations however. I wa... | |

| Bridging Bryston 3B-STs a few questions Thanks for the insights folks. I had not considered some of these points. This forum is truly a blessing to the hobby! The Thiels can not be biamped unfortunately. I suppose Jim Thiel has his reasons. There is no advice in the Bryston owner's manu... | |
