| Would Vandersteen 5a's be a good match for Krell? Any top notch amp like the Krell would be a good match. I would go for a tube amp myself since the 5As have their own powered subs. | |
| Frank Sinatra "The Voice" on Classic Records 180g Albert, you will never admit it, but for every one good vinyl album out there you find at least another one that has bad surfaces or is warped in any number of ways. To you it's a religion, to me it's listening to music and relaxing. Nothing wrong... | |

| Frank Sinatra "The Voice" on Classic Records 180g Get a CD, better yet an SACD, you will love either | |

| Why do amps sound different? I would bet that they don't really measure the same on the test bench as you say, if they do the tests are not comprehensive enough. Specs can't be looked at individually. When people say that two amps measure the same, they often look only at WPC... | |
| Are tube watts equal to solid state watts? A watt is a watt is a watt. Only present day audiophiles would ask this question. Making a distinction without a difference is the territory of subjective audiophiles, but hey these days anything goes! | |
