Krell Duo 175xd
@brownsf The headphone is plugged into the RAAL amp interface box which is included when you buy the SR1a. I have 2 of them, one is currently connected to my CODA #8 and the other is a spare that I was trying out temporally with the KRELL 175 XD.... 
Krell Duo 175xd
The problem with the speaker connectors was that it was tightened to a level that made me scared I would snap it if I turned it too much. I was wondering if the connector was a different type than what I was used to. I managed to slowly twist it a... 
Krell Duo 175xd
I was going to ask a question on this thread about the KRELL 175XD speaker connections. However, I figured it out without breaking anything. Just needed some controlled muscle power. I have the CODA #8 and the KRELL 175 XD in my office now, I als... 
Lumin P1 or X1 or others?
@ozzy Do you have a Uptone Audio EtherRegen ($650) or Sonore OpticalModule ($300)? I am curious about putting either one of those in front of a Lumin X1 or P1 then using the Fibre input. I was of the opinion that taking Fibre directly from a netw... 
Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line?
Thanks.  
Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line?
@ljgm How did that comparison of the FrontRow and WyWire Platinum go? I am debating getting a second set of FrontRow or trying the WyWire lineup.  
Question about Class A
I also had the LSA Voyager 350 GAN (modded by EVS). It is not a Class A sound. It sounds more like a Benchmark AHB2 with more low-end and can go down to 2 Ohms. I sold the LSA Voyager -> Parasound A21+ -> KRELL 175XD (happy with the KRELL). ... 
Question about Class A
@jay73 You can find a used Parasound A21+ for around $2500. Which is what I paid for it. I traded it in for a KRELL 175XD but the A21+ was very good. [edit] Oops. I did not realize you were referring to the Sudgen . However, have a listen to the...

@sirnui That is great to hear that you are at a good place with your gear. I can say the same.  
Question about Class A
I have 2 Class A amps. The KRELL K-300i integrated and KRELL Duo 175XD stereo amp.  The K-300i has the first 90 watts Class A. The 175XD has 175 watts Class A. They are not heavy, not hot, nor do they burn electricity at a high rate. Most importan... 
What sounds like a Krell KCT, but better?
I have a CODA 07x ($6.5K) preamp and a Benchmark LA4 preamp ($2.5K).  I have had a lot of Bryston gear in the past but not the cubed line. The CODA 07x or the cheaper CP preamp is almost certain to be great with the 4B3. I like my LA4 better becau... 
Happy Birthday Bob Marley
Here is a link to the tribute. I listen to this on FM not internet. I love Bob Marley and this tribute was great. Jason Kramer’s playlist, February 6, 2022 | Jason Kramer | KCRW Just tried to play it but they do not seem to have a link for that.... 
Happy Birthday Bob Marley
I am listening to the KCRW.com tribute to Bob Marley and it was fun to hear John Lennon talk about one of Marley compositions. It sounded like he was in a studio with some other musicians. Lennon was in awe.  
Looking for small active STEREO speakers I can throw in a carry on bag and travel with
If you have space to the front wall the Audience 1 + 1 is good (owned it). There is a Magnaoan desktop speaker that is also good and needs similar space up front. The Audioengine A2+ is not that great but easy to move. I have this in the house bu... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
Thanks for the responses. I am very happy with the USB input that I am using. I was just curious about the direct toslink I am  that I am using from my computer that could be improved with a GAIA. That would also give me the option of hearing AES ...
