| Krell anticipator circuits of the 1990s I might be in over my head on this, and I really don’t know how Krell actually manages this, but I can imagine that if there was an opto-coupler at the amps input it could possibly alter the bias faster than the speed of sound and closer to the sp... | |
| What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly? Sometimes a direct seller is less likely to discount so as to avoid being accused of undercutting their secondary retailers. Sometimes returns are only accepted for replacements and not refunds. When dealing with a direct seller those replacment o... | |
| Kef Kube power supply @klipschking , what model Kefs are you trying to add a Kube to? | |
| Threshold Stasis 5.0 preamp Perhaps worth a try: About | vintageamprepair (wordpress.com) diyAudio | |
| Yep much to do about nothing. Fear brains. McDonalds main business is real estate. McDonalds has demonstrated a pattern of increased profits during a downturn in the economy. | |
| Tuner choice With regard to @harrylavo 's post, depending on your location and desired stations to be tuned in; besides sensitivity, selectivity can be an important spec consideration | |

| Keep Vintage or sell for new To expand on @fthompson251 's recommendation you might want to also consider: About | vintageamprepair (wordpress.com) A Threshold tech around when these units were made and endorsed by Nelson Pass. | |
| New Rotel Amp Vs Older Bryston, Krell, or McIntosh Classe’ I see often paired with B&W. | |
| Keep Vintage or sell for new If the job of a line stage is just to transfer signal and offer control, I don't think you'll find much improvement over the Threshold fet 10 HL. In that role, it is one of the all-time classic neutral devices. And the basic high build quality wit... | |
| Your experience/thoughts on Meadowlark speakers, esp., Kestrel, 2, hot rod. etc IMHO, easier to drive but not as good as Thiels. YMMV. | |
| DHL and the definiton of insanity Perhaps you can pick it up at DHL? | |
| Thiel Owners @sdl4 , I’m not completely sure of the following, but I seem to recall reading a discussion where Bruno Putzeys said something to the effect that GaNFETS were indeed superior devices but a their current costs one could just as easily build Class A... |
