| Preamp for Krell S-550i I applaud your honesty. A lot of people would have claimed their brilliance in such a purchase and then quietly sold the offending piece off in a few weeks. I have never owned a Krell integrated but back in the day when I had my Apogee speakers, a... | |
| Parasound P7 or Cary Cinema 11 ? I helped a former colleague build a media room onto his existing house. This guy went all out on his home theater / media setup and he too had the Cary Cinema 11. He got the upgrade bug or the "I gotta change something" bug and he demo'd the Para... | |
| Help: Unidentified high-pitch sound Uh, also the sound will go away when the amp is off as there will be nothing to amplify the signal.Have you moved cables or wires recently? Make sure that there is no RFI between the cables and you can help yourself by having the cables cross at 9... | |
| Help: Unidentified high-pitch sound I am not sure what brand tubes Dan is using in his preamps but the original tubes in the 9.0 were Philips 5687 tubes. Those tubes were late 1970's or early 80's tubes and frankly, not the most musical. If you are the original owner be happy that t... | |
| Interesting Fed Ex encounter... Just so people know, FedEx does not have "insurance". They are self-insured for the small amounts (small like several thousand). I learned all of this when FedEx destroyed an amp and then refused to pay the damages. UPS is no different. It is an "... | |
| Synergistic Research XOT Carbon Crossover Transducers Well, I seem to be negligent in answering and for that I apologize. Yes, I am running them and I have two sets per speaker, darn bi-wiring. And I thought I would try them, and then if I was not completely bowled over I would send them back. And I... | |
| Parasound A23+ vs. Emotiva XPA-DR2 To br3098, the Parasound A23+ is not an integrated amp. It is a standalone two channel amplifier. I am surprised no one caught his reply and that error... | |

| Anybody else not receiving daily forum updates from Audiogon? That was supposed to read "trying and conflicting time for many"... | |
| Anybody else not receiving daily forum updates from Audiogon? Maybe Audiogon is shutting down some services for a few weeks since the virus that seems to be a concern to most of the world is having Audiogon cutting back on staff or attending to other matters in this rather trying and conflicting for many.... | |
| Roon can't find HQplayerr I do not use any computer based audio just for the reasons that seem to appear here often. I am not sure what you do but I seem to be reading that there is a lot of issues with Roon and software issues. | |
| Manley Chinook - chronic issues Good advice from phill55. No matter the piece, be it solid state or tubed, anything man makes, breaks. No exceptions. I have a neighbor who is a mechanical engineer and damn near a genius, and he calls any with some type of electrical engineering ... | |
| Is there a physical and ritual connection with the analog LP? I have often wondered if there is more of a ritual for the playing of vinyl, and even a CD for those people who have had some, or even a lot of musical training. While I have not played in a band or orchestra for years now, there was something abo... | |
| Disappointing vinyl purchase There is a ton of new vinyl that is just plain awful! Even some MOFI stuff I have bought has a lot of pops and ticks, and one even had a huge piece of vinyl missing out of it! Acoustic Sounds was good about taking it back, but lately some CDs I am... | |
| Manley Chinook - chronic issues Did you buy this new from Upscale? Even used I think they warranty the used stuff for perhaps 90 days? When did this start or did it start in September? If so, I hate to mention the obvious but that piece should have gone back as soon as those dem... |
