| Speaker placement toe-in and cables Your mileage will vary depending on the design of the speaker system, but I have found anytime you can use minimal to no toe in, you will be blessed with the most dynamic and natural soundstage IMHO:0) | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player Disbeliever, I agree the Sony takes a long time to settle in, but there was something very special about it right out of the box. It's rendering of tone, dynamic contrasts and transparency are uncanny! RB is as wonderfull as SACD, which is amazing... | |
| KRELL S-300i How does it sound ? YES! Shhhhh....problems are already afoot. | |
| I am sick of cables Bravo Sns!! | |
| I am sick of cables I owmed a pair of Dunlavy SC-V speakers (my first high end speakers). To be fair, I think Mr. Dunlavy's experiment was padded, given that the only variable was the individuals own psychology and bias. Everything makes a difference and all of it ha... | |
| I am sick of cables Kijanki, I had the cables available for a couple of weeks after the setup, so I had time to decide whether I would cash them in or look elsewhere. Synergy can be a large part of any system, and tastes vary, but something clicked big time with the ... | |
| Speaker Cable for Krell and Kef Loudspeakers You could go with Transparent Brick cabling or ask Transparent if you could work something out with them to meet your needs...tell them Dave Borda from Pa told you to call them (ask for Brad). | |
| Cardas vs. Synergistic Research Try the Transparent MM reference PC...it will transform your component. I've also done the side by side comparisons through the Cable Co.'s libary....many of the so called high end PC's are simply trash. FYI Reviewers are worthless, in case you ha... | |
| I am sick of cables Argyro, you have every reason to be absolutely fed up with this high price crap and voodoo of the month club approach to marketing cables. I've had upwards of $30K rigs and everything else in-between with tons of different equipment both tube and ... | |
| Narrowed speaker selection down to 5 choices Veroman is dead on! Play with setup first and foremost before any more money is spent. Years of experimentation and research has made certain approaches more successful than others. Use the long wall if possible with your head against the opposing... | |
| How to trick a player into reading SACD layer? Overhang, in case you don't know me, I owned the SACD Standard...along with most of the other gear Krell has made over the last decade. The Sony is special...it should not be overlooked:) | |
| b&k amps I bought the whole evolution rig to see what Krell was up to with their new designs and I was not happy at all. The sweetness, liquidity and tonality of the gear is gone in favor of a greyish, smoothed over brittle character. Parts are now off the... | |
| b&k amps Talikin? I meant talking of course and they are built well in the USA!! | |
| Narrowed speaker selection down to 5 choices Missioncoonery speaks sage advice..all great speakers:) | |
| b&k amps Were talikin value here, not absolutes. For the money you can do a whole lot worse and be hard pressed to find their better for the power they offer. |
