| Audio Research Ref 110 Hi Oregonpapa and Janeb,I think some wires got crossed here: I am Mickey, and yes, thats my room with the mirrors, but I'm not the original poster, who was complaining about shrillness. Just for the record, my room doesnt sound bright, as you migh... | |
| Audio Research Ref 110 My Ref110 sounded a little thin and un-engaging during the break-in period, and it was only after the 300-400 hour mark that it blossomed. I remember feeling a little worried then, but I look back at that time and laugh. It is now staggeringly tra... | |

| Dedicated Lines - Sub panel or no? Hi all,Thanks everyone for your responses. Zargon, I am intrigued by your mention of using a transformer. Does it have any downside? I have found in the past that, in my system, power conditioners flatten the soundstage, or somehow rob the music o... | |
| Krell SACD Standard v DVD Standard CD replay Hi there,I have owned the KAV300CD, then the SACD Standard Mk2, which I recently had upgraded to Mk 3. A year or so ago I also had the DVD Standard on loan for a few weeks while the SACD went for repair. The KAV300CD was rather 'dark' sounding, bu... | |
| ARC LS26 power cords, interconnects, tweaks Hi there,Audphile is right, get at least 400+ hours on your LS26 before making any judgements. Mine has, and I'm still amazed at how un-hifi it sounds, and how it just lets music 'appear' in my room. No way that the LS26 can be making vocals sound... | |
| Verity Audio Parsifal vs. Aerial 10T RGS92 said the downside of his 10T's is their inability to dissapear. "Little soundstage at all in any direction (no depth or layering or wide-stage affect). Very aware of 2 separate speakers, little transparency. Not very detailed. Sound does sou... | |
| Sky or Siltech classic SQ110 MK2 Hi there,I used an older Siltech gold/silver I/C for several years before replacing it with the Sky, but I'm sorry I can't recall the exact model number. What I can tell you, if it helps, is that the Sky was quieter and less 'hashy', yet still ret... | |

| Upgrade Krell KRC-3 Hi George,I used the Krell KRC-HR for about seven years. The HR is the "High Resolution" version of your preamp, so called because of the discrete resistor volume control, as opposed to the potentiometer used in the KRC. At the time, the KRC-HR wa... | |
| Anybody heard Krell SACD mkIII? Hi all,A couple of weeks ago I had to return my SACD Standard MkII, still under warranty , to the local Krell distributor, as the drive mechanism had failed. They have sent it back to the US for repair, and told me it will come back with the Evo d... | |
| ARC Reference 110 vs older ARC amps eg VT150 Hi guys,Thanks for your input. Nsgarch, what does the capacitor upgrade do for the sound of the VT 150's? On the subject of the SE's (special editions) are they an improvement in sound quality over the regular VT150's or is it just cosmetic? Some ... |
