| "Krell" is a buzzword Good point. I don't think that ANYONE would LIKE to match bright electronics with dark electronics and "hope for the best". Unfortunately, some people can't afford to just dump everything all at once and replace the offending components. For them,... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword While i agree that the word "Krell" tends to bring about some of the most polarized responses from those involved in audio, there are many other subjects that get people excited. Just mention the terms "vinyl", "digital", "tube", "solid state", et... | |
| Music Fidelity E624 CD Player While i am not COMPLETELY sure of this, i think that these were repackaged ( what we call "badge engineering" ) versions of a Marantz player. Don't hold me to that, but that is what i was told by someone in the industry. Sean > | |
| SunfireTheater Grand ??? Thanks for the follow-up, but i found nothing to confirm your statement anywhere on their website. I'm going to give them a call in the morning and find out exactly is involved. Sean > | |
| Why didn't this biamp strategy work? It's quite possible that the two different amps have different overall gains, sonic qualities, measurements, input / output impedances, etc... This could be due to TONS of various reasons. One of them is age. ANY tube based product will alter with... | |
| BEST HEAVY METAL BAND As a side note, i think that there is quite a bit of confusion about what is "metal" and what is "hard rock". While i know that some bands fall into both genres ( Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, etc..), many of the names that keep popping up here are N... | |
| BEST HEAVY METAL BAND Dust ??? Dust was Marky Ramone's band. His real name is Mark (or maybe Marc) Bell. If you look at the pictures of him on the albums, you'll instantly recognize the "traditional" Ramones look of long stringy hair, cheap leather jacket, blown out kn... | |
| SunfireTheater Grand ??? Drop me an email and we can go from there. Sean > | |
| Dirt-Cheap Phono Pre-Amp Musical Fidelity X-LP or X-LPS. Has both a MM and MC section that is switch selectable. Whether or not you like the cosmetics is the question. Sean > | |
| Internal Amp Wire: Can it be improved? If you do decide to alter the wiring, i would make a VALIANT effort at removing the original wiring as neatly and cleanly as possible. Label each wire individually, mark the direction that the wire was "flowing" and then make some type of chart to... | |
| do tubes rock ?? Out of curiousity, was the Boogie a double or triple rectifier ? As to the Peavey amps, i've always found the Ultra 120 to be far more satisfying and versatile than the 5150. Sean > | |
| Help!! My tube pre amp is shocking me!! Your description sounds like static electricity discharge. Try touching something else that is metal, like a piece of your rack, etc... This is quite common when the winter months hit us due to the lack of humidity. Many people will attach a small... | |
| do tubes rock ?? I agree with Carl. First of all, your room is pretty large. Second of all, your speakers are lower impedance. On top of that, they aren't SUPER efficient. You will need a very rugged tube amp with a lot of "guts" to do the job. I would also sugges... | |
| Elite bigscreen HDTV or Sony VPL-VW10HT? The Pioneer Elite HDTV's look ASTOUNDINGLY good. Then again, the price reflects what your paying to get. If your looking for best picture quality between the pieces mentioned, the Pioneer wins hands down. As to the comments about having a huge box... | |
| fm reception The use of a decent outdoor antenna and what we call a "pre-selector" in the RF field would probably take care of your problem. Magnum Dynalab's makes one of these and i think that they call it a "signal sleuth". It tightens the bandwidth of the r... |
