| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl I used to believe it was impossible for digital music to sound as good- let alone better than vinyl. But I defy ANYONE in an apple to apple comparison to tell me a vinyl record sounds better than a red book CD ripped bit perfect to a Mac using Pur... | |
| Recommendation on power amp I suggest you I suggest you check out the latest Amos from Krell. I recently purchased the new Krell Duo 300 XD and they sound more musical than my FPB 400CX. Don’t know how they pulled it off given it’s a pure class A amp that draws only 1 W in s... | |
| Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions I attended the Rocky Mountain Audiofest in October and heard the K-300i, chatted with David and Walter, and based on what I HEARD I extrapolated that of course the dedicated amp and big brother to this unit - the Duo 300 XD - HAD to sound AT LEAST... | |
| Beware of SACD Transports -- they probably will not work with your favorite DAC PS Audio has delivered an INCREDIBLE solution to resolve this issue. The company uses a proprietary protocol with their new DMP Player and the amazing DS DAC. Use of an HDMI cable delivers a digital handshake using a high speed data transfer betwe... | |
| Affordable integrated pure class A? I would, budget permitting run and not walk to listen to the latest integrated amp from Krell , the K-300i I heard it in Denver at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. As soon as I got home I ordered the Duo 300 XD and it sounds as good or better than... | |
| What amps should I audition? I am the owner of a Krell 400 FPB 400cx - a true Class A iconic beast legendary for deep bass and beautiful sonic properties. I auditioned the brand new ( not yet released) K-300i Krell Integrated amp in Denver at the Rocky Mountain Audio Show. I ... | |
| Which site is Best for Downloading/Uploading Hi Rez HDTracks.com is one of the only, and among the best sites for downloads, offering good promotions from time to time at between 15%-20% off their regular price. http://www.hdtracks.com And the other contender in this realm would be ProStudioMasters... | |
| SACD I am in the camp that is in disbelief that anyone could NOT affirm that a well produced SACD doesn't sound sound SIGNIFICANTLY better than it's CD counterpart. I refer here specifically to multi-channel. Listen to Steely Dan "Gaucho," Roxy Music "... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? I have a Krell 400cx Class A amp and per factory I leave my amp on standby ALWAYS, unless away for more than 4 or 5 days in which case I will power it off completely. Solids state amps LIKE to be in and always sound appreciably better when warm. M... | |
| Oppo Gone - Now What? There is OPPO, and then you have the “all others.” OPPO Blu-ray players are simply in a league of their own. I’ve owned the BDP 95, 105D and now have the 205. If you can get one under 2k at this late date grab it. Nothing compares at any price in... | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? You always want to start with the amp. Always. In fact, the pervasive view among most “experts” I know feel that the most important part of the system is the first 6 feet out from your wall. So I’d recommend a power generator like the PS Audio P5 ... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range I have a dealer friend in another market who is a Focal dealer and he swears by them. I have never heard them personally, but for my money I believe it is IMPOSSIBLE to beat Dyanudio Confidence C2’s. 17.5K for the pair and deals can be gotten out ... | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? I own the DirectStream DAC and never dreamed a component with an MSRP OF 6k could deliver audio equal to or better than vinyl. This unit is SUPERB and heartily recommend. And PS Audio provides firmware updates at no charge and the latest update ma... | |
| Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there? I have the iconic Krell FPB 300cx, purchased new in 2001. It’s a Class A amp and does an excellent job driving my Dyanudio Confidence C2 speakers. The sound is glorious and while I’m not looking to make a move today, I AM looking to at some near f... | |
| What's the weak link in my system? Current consensus among most audio gurus is that the most important part of a system is the first 6 feet out from the wall to eliminate noise coming from your power provider. Some deliver as much as 3% THD. I get on average 1,5% from APS here in ... |
