| Richard Gray regenerators.... You are supposed to leave them plugged in all the time. | |
| Someone familiar with older KSA Krell amps The original KSA 50 and 100 had fans in both their Mk I and II versions, as I recall--I owned a KSA 50 Mk II, one of the sweetest solid state amps around for a long time, and one I should have kept if only as a museum piece. Starting with the KSA ... | |
| Should I buy the Harmonix footers for $2000.00? Wendell, I think you misread the post, he's looking for others who took the plunge, he hasn't yet. Underdog, I bought a number of Harmonix footers in the past (less expensive ones, though), but only after I tried them and heard them in my system. ... | |
| Should I buy the Harmonix footers for $2000.00? It will likely change the sound of your speakers--every Harmonix product I have tried will do that. Whether it's for the better or not is up to your ears, so I would insist on a home trial. Considering YG Acoustics' claims to be the best and most ... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers Gawdbless, I think that's just the fries they put in the cup, doesn't include the equal amount they then throw into the bag as a bonus! | |
| Cd transport isolation I found that my Forsell transport was extraordinarily affected by isolation devices, which I never could understand but I actually could hear clearly. In my experience, the best isolation I gave it involved using an air and silicone-filled bicycle... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers I'll acknowledge Unsound's complaints about 5 Guys, but I still think that they're among the better ones you can get around here in NJ. Another pretty good one down the Shore, as we say here, which has char broiled burgers, is the Windmill chain, ... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers Surprised no one has mentioned the Big Kahuna burger (from Pulp Fiction). :^) | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers Byegolly, my son took my wife and I to the House of Pies when we visited him about a year and a half ago, about as close to a Jersey diner experience as you can get out there, I guess. Good pies too! | |
| Oppo 83 I don't know much about these multi channel receivers, but isn't Toslink a digital interface? If that's the case, you would not be taking advantage of the Oppo's internal DAC, as you'd just take the Oppo's digital signal and use the B&K's DAC.... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers Five Guys, here in NJ (a good chain on the East Coast)Miller Burgers (Miller's Bar) in Dearborn, Mich. (I don't know why, but a plain Wonder Bread roll and a burger fried on a greasy grill, but they taste great!) | |
| Krell amp with Zu Essence speaker With reference to Tpreaves's post, a problem you could have is that you won't be able to move your preamp's volume knob very far before you have earth-shaking volumes. I don't know what preamp you use, but many that use standard attentuators sound... | |
| Best Dac for Jadis Defy and JPL combo? I've always preferred the sound of Telefunkens in my Jadis equipment, which have included JPL, JP80 and JP200 preamps, as well as the JA80 amps. EIs, Amperex and Seimens were also good to my ears. Telefunkens to me sound more uniform in tonal bala... | |
| Best Dac for Jadis Defy and JPL combo? I run a Nova Physics Memory Player through the EMM Labs DAC, closest I come to computer files (the player is really a computer, pretty much). Don't have a normal computer setup near the audio system. | |
| How are the Classical music XRCDs? I have a good number of the RCA Living Stereo reissues on XRCD. While I agree with the above posters that they seem to sound better than the conventional CDs of the same material, even the RCA remasterings (I would call them fuller, more analog-li... |
