Is it CD or SACD?
Your player should tell you what layer it is playing. Most SACD players I have owned will default to the SACD layer. See what the manual tells you. Also some have a little LED that lights up when it is playing and SACD or Redbook to indicate which...

Sound before picture problem
It is processor speed differences between thye krell and the dtv box. The Hdmi is delivering both as a simultanioussignal both A and V. When using the digital out to the Krell it has a different speed which sounds a bit slower than the HDMI signal... 
Moby concert and ear damage?
I have pretty much quit going to in door concerts for that reason. I am kucky that I live an hour from Red Rocks and most of the artists I want to see want to play Red Rocks.I think the open arenas eliminate compression that createhigh decibles an... 
another break in question
In my experience I find that break in is best when useing a full range of frequencies. Do you have a Cardas break-in disc or similar. I usually let it play on repeat a few time between listening sessions. 
MAC Autoformers?
I think that the McIntosh autoformer is utilized for a number of reasons. I have had a few amps with and a few without. The ones with sound better than those without, IMO. The cost, weight and size of the autoformer is probably the main reason McI... 
Linn kurate vs. Ayre CX-5 and -5 MP
I own the ayre C5xe-mp and at one time considered the Linn Unidisk 1.1 as my dealer sold both. At the time he wanted to make a very good deal in the Unidisk. The Ayre was pre-mp upgrade and I liked bothe. At the time the Linn seemed to bring out m... 
best speaker wire for buck
Depends on your budget on what you can wind up with. The type4 is a good wire for the money. What length do you need? If 8 footers will work call UsedCable and see what they have in their lending library. You pay shipping but you get wires that ar...

Why nobody uses McIntosh with Vandersteen?
I use Revel, but I don't see where it is relevant. I guess I have never looked for the combo here, but it doesn't mean it doesn't excist. I really think you should contact Audio Classics and Richard Vandersteen. If you already have Mc amps and lik... 
Why nobody uses McIntosh with Vandersteen?
I don't see why it wouldn't be compatible. Contact Richard vandersteen see what he says. I wouldn't go with a dealers recommendation as they are usually bias to what they sell.My local dealer tells me that I need to get away from my McIntosh Pre/p... 
Ayre CX7e vs Linn Majik cdps
I have felt that the Ayre not only has a more analog presentation, but the information has a "natural" sound.I really can't dig up any memory of the Linn out performing the Ayre in any area. I guess the one thing that I miss about the Ikemi,and it... 
Ayre CX7e vs Linn Majik cdps
I had a Linn Ikemi and liked it very much and sold it to buy an Ayre C5xe and recently added the MP upgrade. I realize these are two differnt models but I can tell you the Ayre is better sounding than the Linn and not by a small margin. I have hea...
