| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Just placed two 8amp large Hi Fi Tuning fuses into my Krell 400xi. I must say that across the board my system sounded more vivid, dynamic, smoother and with less distortion. Definition was enhanced as well...sexier sound overall! Soundstaging is m... | |
| PS Audio P300 or Cardas Golden Reference? It all matters and can frequently create a sonic maelstrom from which one may find it hard to escape. Use the cable companies loaner program or borrow from a dealer for an in home trial for any changes...it's the only wat to be sure! | |
| How would you run an audio salon? As you can see, one is not able to get much practical or personaly meaningful information from Audiogon on a consistent basis. Everyone is biased, everyone plays favorites and no one has it all figured out. That's why I would truly place the custo... | |
| Wood vs Acrylic Shelves Wood sounds better...acoustic musical instruments are made of mostly wood, wood speakers sound better, wood floors sound great compared to concrete or other dead material etc.. | |
| How would you run an audio salon? I would take the traditional sale of Hi Fi to the next level...audiophile consultations. The individual customers needs and desires would be addressed and discussed with musical preferences, budget and listening environment in mind. I would be beh... | |

| PS Audio P300 or Cardas Golden Reference? The KCR and FPB600 are not cast ready! | |
| Speakers you regret selling I regret some room/speaker combinations I've lived in more than the speakers themselves, as they were chosen for a specific living environment i.e..Totem Forest's @ my condo, Totem winds/Wilson 6's/Martin Logan Odyssey's at my previous large house... | |
| PS Audio P300 or Cardas Golden Reference? Krell components don't appreciate being plugged into power conditioners or regenerators. The sonics will suffer..low level information, transparncy, dynamics, slam etc.. For a cheap but exceeptional IC try a pair of Monster Cable Z Reference Balan... | |
| Krell kav-400xi with show case dvd or dvd standad? It gives the user an idea of how much power it takes to drive them and also indicates what the speakers limitations may be...in other words, more power will be cleaner and less damaging to the speakers, but you could potentially still overdrive th... | |
| Directional interconnect cables Here's some food for thought. A while back I demo'd some Monster cable Z series balanced IC's while waiting for my Oracle V2.2 upgraded IC's to be returned (my dealer loaned them to me). $4600pair IC's vs $200pair IC's....wow, they were close in p... | |
| Krell kav-400xi with show case dvd or dvd standad? More power is never an issue. In fact, the more power you have on hand, the less the distortion each driver will suffer. Cone control and dynamic expression will be increased as well, plus if you want to run a subwoofer or two you can use the prea... | |
| Directional interconnect cables The names Borda...Dave Borda. I'll have a double Dewars Black Label on the rocks and a set of the most expensive cables known to mankind...connected, and burned:) | |
| Krell kav-400xi with show case dvd or dvd standad? The Krell 400xi will remain a cornerstone in a system...speakers may change over time. However, if you don't require superior performance then look elsewhere. | |
| Directional interconnect cables I'll say this ONE MORE TIME...buy or try your favorite cable in your system, install per manufacturer and then listen to your favorite music. Next, buy your favorite cable and enjoy the music. When one thinks to much, one becomes all nose or foreh... |
