Krell Restoration
I would suggest you ship these to Krell, even if you are not warm to the idea. They will replace your caps with most recent version available, check everything up and adjust power supply bias. A local tech can certainly replace the caps, not too s... 
Anybody tried Steve Blinn's Isoped footers?
Hi Acman3,I placed an order for 8 mid-size Isopeds earlier this week for my speaker stands and unexpectedly received them yesterday. Since I was in 'new year eve mode', only had a few minutes of listening. Overall, I am getting incremental better ... 
Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70?
Audiolabyrinth,I've just ordered my SR Red fuses for my Krell monoblocks. Will take 2 weeks to come in. Will keep you posted on the results. 
Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70?
Hi Lecram,I had my 2 FPB 350 MCX recapped for $750/amp if I recall correctly. I've opened up the Krells a few times and I would only give that job to Krell factory and nobody else. There is a lot of boards to be taken apart and once caps are repla... 
Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70?
Audiolabyrinth,Wow! You bought really good stuff with the GTX-D R. I purchased 2 FP-15A R version for my wallplate and used the regular plastic cover plate. I looked at the GTX-D (R) but it was double the price of the FP. Remember I need 2 of them... 
Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70?
Audiolabyrinth,Your my kind of audiophile :-). I had the same issue asking Krell to install IEC inlet to the back of my monoblocks. Gave me the same reasons they gave you. So I decided to do the job myself. Basically you need some basic electronic...

Audiolabyrinth,Just curious, what have you modyfied on your Krell? On my side, I got rid of the fixed AC cords and installed a Furutech Rodhium AC inlet and used Shunyata Anaconda CX power cords. Also installled Bybee AC purifiers at the input of ...

Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70?
Hi Lecram,Altough I like my Krells, I would like to have a beefier SS amp with latest design technology. The Krells still sound very good but are getting old, even tough I have recently recapped them. The Bryston was favorably rated in The Absolut... 
Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70?
Hi Lecram,Funny since I was to write a similar post. I have a pair of refurbished Apogee Duetta Signatures powered by Krell FPB-350 MCX monoblocks. The Bryston 28 bsst2 and Classe 600 monoblocks are some of the amps I am looking into to eventually... 
Upgrading IEC Inlet advice
Tboooe,I have modified my Krell monoblocks to have a detachable AC cord and installed an IEC inlet. I have purchased the Furutech FI 33 Rhodium inlet. I measured the exact contour of the Inlet by using a micrometer. I used a very smal drill bit to... 
Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva
Melbguy1,Unfortunately, I have not heard the TSW Diva Ultimates. I purchased my DS brand new in the 90's and remember listening to the stock Diva. I would say that the stock DS were probably giving 80-90 percent sound quality of the Diva. The Diva... 
Asynchronous USB DAC and USB cable quality
Dtc,I have learned a lesson here and thanks for your last thread, which make me feel better now. 
Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva
Ptmconsulting,I also have a pair of Apogee DS which I have totally replaced all Xover components by latest audiophile grade components. This was an astonishing upgrade in sound quality, but still had the Apogee buzz on low frequency content when p... 
USB printer cable VS USB audiophile grade cable?
Extravaganza,Excuse my question, since English is not my first language, but what is a red flat tasker cable? Where can you purchase such cable? What is the dielectric used in your cable and which USB connector brand did you use to build your cabl...
