| Krell Owners: Is XLR really superior to RCA? No surprise. The only surprise is how many audiophiles stick with cheap crap RCA and still think of themselves as serious audiophiles.The higher signal level alone on pro audio +24 dBu balanced can be equivalent to about a 13 dB lower noise floor.... | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. Led Zeppelin did many great covers.Dazed and ConfusedSince I have been loving you etc.Probably the greatest cover band ever. They improved upon and improvised upon stuff. Jimmy Page and Plant were great at seeing potential in stuff and making it 1... | |
| JBL 4367: What an AMAZING sounding speaker! Good for you! JBL are awesome. Floyd Toole did an amazing job at Harman with improvements in speakers across the board. | |
| Metrum Dac owners Just a thought - rather than more resolving perhaps it might simply be that your DAC isn’t as well isolated on the USB as it could be. | |
| Military grade @lowrider57 Exactly. That is why these cables are so special compared to the ordinary cables stressed by F14’s. ;-) | |
| Military grade They are the best! After so many landings of F15 on aircraft carriers they have to change the cables out. The cables are not reliable enough to land anymore F15’s but the good news is the stress from multiple F15 landings has aligned all the molec... | |

| Speaker recommendation Good choice. You will like the Revel for sure. | |
| Relative fidelity of music sources Hi-resolution 24/96 or 24/88 PCM and above is excellent. CD redbook is 2nd but can often equal above. (A lot of hi-resolution files arent high resolution at all but upsampled data - so only new hi-resolution recordings are best)Tidal is excellent ... | |
| Any Famous people on Audiogon ? Am considering taking Audiogon private at $420. Funding secured. | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? Over my dead body! I will never change my main speakers.https://www.fidelitysoundandvision.co.uk/atc-el150asl-active-el-150a-sl-3441-p.asp# | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? Horns use a very large waveguide - the energy arriving is not a point source for all frequencies they produce - imaging therefore suffers slightly. The shape of the horn is critical - large spherical horn designs will image best - like Avantgarde... | |
| What you can say about lowbass and midbass perfomance for high end loudspeakers ? The design looks excellent. The crossover at 2 KHz means the mid range will be excellent and the off on and off axis response looks excellent because of this.Not sure why they inverted the polarity in the ULF. I find this can create a disconnect b... |
