Interesting reading for ESL owners
Sfrounds. Agree with you on most points, except that in my system there is absolutely no problem in hearing the difference between high end interconnects. I can put Audioquest, Cardas and Purist in my system between the turntable and phono stage, ... 
Led Zeppelin 2 First pressing
Looking for the address..........looking for the address........ $60.00 huh, maybe I should wait until you are a little more tired of it. 
Tube Preamp shoot-out
Based on my limited listening to these three, I would strongly consider the BAT. That decision is based on my strong dislike for ANY grain in the high frequencies. Things may have changed since I heard each of these, and I never got to try any of ... 
Led Zeppelin 2 First pressing
David99. You got absolutely screwed! However, since you are my friend, so I am willing to go out on a limb and refund the money you paid for that first pressing. After all, what are friends for? Just email me to work out the shipping details, and ... 
Interesting reading for ESL owners
The site looked interesting and the speakers are beautiful. I read eagerly, hoping for some revelation in audio cables for my ESL's. The disappointment came when I read the part where they said that all good interconnect cables sound the same. Tha... 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
Elizabeth, I hope you buried him with the portion of the musical library that you dislike. It would be a shame to listen to a great system and come across a song that suddenly reminded you of unpleasant times.One thing I got to know.......Is it tr... 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
Angela, do you use this on your husband, or are you still looking for Mr. Nice guy/audiophile?

Girlfriends and wifes, how do I cope? Easy, I never allow them to listen to my system at the same time.Seriously, when my wife and I met for the first time nearly thirty years ago, I already had speakers nearly her height at one end of my living r... 
"White Light Monitor" (slawney's review)
Slawney. I just posted positives for you. I must say that I now regret even more not having heard these at last years CES. For those who do not remember, my wife was seriously injured the first show day and I departed to be by her side, long befor... 
How can power cords make a difference?
Mhubbard. As long as it was included and the price did not suddenly rise to cover the expense to Krell for supplying it. The price the factory pays for any given part is usually five times that amount at retail ( to the end user ). Even assuming t... 
Are they truly balanced?
The only ones I am certain of are Aesthetix Callisto, BAT, Atmasphere, and Elliott EASE Magnum. There are probably others, but I will leave that to others who are positive as to which ones. 
Digital Cable Remote turns on Wrong unit
I am not familiar with the exact remote you are talking about, is it programmable? Does the factory Sony remote control for your TV affect the Mitsubishi as well? 
Hall of Fame
I'm not sure if the first five positions should not all belong to Western Electric/Bell Labs. Just about everything we treasure came from them. 
How can power cords make a difference?
Mhubbard. Reasonable thinking about including high quality cords with Krell. Unfortunately, this thread is an excellent example of everyone NOT agreeing as to the value of such products.What would Krell do when a good customer avoided buying their... 
Who R U?
Gregm, speaking of Swiss efficiency. During our vacation in Geneva, my wife and I accidentally boarded a commercial ( freight ) elevator in a building.The USA version of these elevators is usually padded with ugly covers hung from eyelets along th...
