Thoughts on Threshold Forte Model 3 Nelson Pass
Nelson Pass was at Threshold at the time of the Forte designs, but was not actually involved with the design. In fact he was opposed to the use of the IGBT transistors used. The current holders of the Threshold name, have little in common with the... 
Best sounding Krell ?
My favorite Krell's were/are the KMA 160's and the KMA 400's. They may be considered old by some, but IMHO they are the epitome of classic Krell's and are still competitive. With all due respect to Mr. D'agostino, I don't believe the intergrateds ... 
CD transport for messed up Arcam
If your unit is like some others, you might want to check that the spring on top of the transport is centered. 
Is it worth buying an SACD player?
Pioneer kept making a couple of Laser Disc players for a few years after the obvious demise of that format too. 
Is it worth buying an SACD player?

poor source material
You may be new, but it didn't take you long to discover one of the biggest banes of our hobby. Poor recordings, often times, just might be the weakest link in our systems. A good equalizer might help sometimes, not help other times, and a poor equ... 
Buzz about pure class A solid state amplifiers ?
Perhaps your preference for the class AB tube amp, might invite comparison with a pure class A tube amp? 
Babies and Speakers
Most babies can sleep through smoke detector alarms and more. On the other hand, you will soon come to appreciate babies sleep time, and you will think twice about disturbing it. High sound volumes in close proximity to a baby is probably not the ... 
Thoughts on Threshold Forte Model 3 Nelson Pass
Go for it, but, not because it comes from "the Nelson Pass "pedigree"", because it doesn't. 
Which ohm speaker to choose?
Only the old Ohms have true Walsh drivers. 
What makes up an
I agree with Albert, and I disagree with Sounds real audio. To each his own. 
Best all around speakers
IMHO, for the time being at least, the notion that the best speakers for a wide variety of amplification needs is a faulty premise. I suggest one find the best speakers for their budget, room, and tastes, and then select the appropriate amplificat... 
is getting a tube pre a valid option with ss amp?
Most tube pres are cap coupled. Some tube pres are reputed to leak DC. If one wants to mate a tube pre with a ss amp, it is might be better to use a low output impedance tube pre and a high input impedance, cap coupled ss amp. There are a few DC c...
