Aerial replacement for 10T ?
The 8b has PRODIGIOUS bass, overwhelming most rooms, whereas the 7b is a better domestic fit. The original 10t used a precast mid/tweet head mounted onto a QA-nightmare bass cabinet made locally (1/2 mile from me) from MDF. Said manufacturer made ... 
Any SS class A experience to share?
I've got to second the Pass suggestion, which is a common one for its tube-like liquidity.More interesting is that I tried to run my Parsifal Encores with a dealer-recommended Avatar a while back. The spectral trampolining it provided was so sever... 
Best speaker in the $4-6k range.
You could save a bit and try the Revel F30, or the F50 for more slam. The B&W's hot tweeters are probably NOT a good match with Krells, I concur. The Aeriel 7b, 8 and 10t are all good bets, but I prefer the smoother mids of the Revel.Take a pe... 
How many weeks of income did your sys. cost?
You sounded my sentiments too, Sd. Maybe we sjould let this one die quietly.... 
Pipe music to kitchen
I simply bought the Onkyo one-box wonder (CR305tx) CD receiver, a narrow, silver clone of an NAD L-40 like product.Comes with two quite attractive all-wood veneer two-ways, and with its 3 levels of push-button bass boost sounds shockingly good wal... 
Dedicated power lines-getting started
Thanks, Shasta.I enclose this type (83802/3) cable in appropriate vinyl outer jackets for abrasion-resistance and tight PC connections. Nonetheless, pulling it through old lathe isn't something to be cavalier about. I suggest that naked 83802/3 be... 
Choice of Wire for Dedicated Line
Hi Stehno. The point is that the cable matrix is well-shielded from outside influence, as you surmise. Re self-noise, it's thought that by using the very best (practical) dielectric (all-teflon), phase, echo, and hysteresis-like distortions are mi... 
Electrocompaniet owners
Tok, Pee in the sandbox and run, eh? To state that I "drug" (sp) the distributor through the mud" is preposterous. Didn't you read what happened? The MkII NorthAmerican/Euro costs were $4000/$2300 just before the DAC was announced, then went to $5... 
I'm depressed, my system hurts my ears.Please help
Zug: interesting. A check with headphones would quickly establish the problem as either room-related or digititis.Do it, Matt. 
Has anyone upgraded power cord connectors?
Hi Hdm,I just received a few Hubbell 5352, 5362 and 8300, as well my standard P&S 5352 and there's probably an A&H (Cooper) somewhere. I'll take 'em all apart (except maybe the $$$ 8300) and see for myself. Sure look damned similar on the ... 
other singers like Patricia Barber.....
Do other singers REALLY like her? 
Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers?
I agree. I have chops more expressive than hers. But you don't want me crooning in your ear, do ya? 
Electrocompaniet EMC-1: let's talk?
Need I bite a bullet, too, or is Florence there to wax angelic? 
Verity Speaker Parsifal Encore
Celery, You use the EMC-1 MKII also? I just switched from Discovery Essence to SPM XLRs, and Red Dawn to SPM on the Verities. More illumination of the stage. I use Aleph P and Aleph 2 monos.I just received the parts to install the latest "UP" mod ... 
Choice of Wire for Dedicated Line
Yup. I recommend Belden 83802/3 for oustandingly pure and noisefree dedicated lines. May NOT be code-approved in all states. RSVP for details.
