Meadowlark Kestral Owners! - Amp Help.
hi prfront,if ewe miss that sparkle, there may be nothing that will "correct" those kestrels. ewe may have to try something like proacs...regards, doug 
Dynavector Tonearm
go here for dynavector info: http://www.dynavector.co.jp/english/index.html i've heard good things about these tonearms, but they're *very* expensive, even used. i'd suggest an origin-live modified rega rb250. they also do mods for the rb-300/600/... 
Meadowlark Kestral Owners! - Amp Help.
i think the kestral hot-rods are wery nice, but not the most detailed speakers in the world - prolly why yure getting better luck w/the rotel over the c-j amp: decent detailed solid-state vs tubed euphony, not the lack of power. subjectively, the ... 
B&W Help... tweeter problems!
thiel has replaced drivers for me on my 3.5's at their cost, when it was out of warranty, & i'm the second owner... b&w should get w/the program...doug 
I would like to hear from ex-Linnophiles
hi emil,while i woodn't consider myself a linnie, or an ex-linnie, i *did* own a kairn preamp for several years. it was really nice - great ergonomics, detailed, accurate, transparent, wide & high soundstage, dynamic - but not enuff depth. i w... 
The best Cdp that have volume control
carl, please don't misunderstand me - i'm not picking on ewe or yer cd-player - my comments about a cd-player sounding better run thru a good (tubed) preamp apply to *all* cd-players - yers yust happens to be one of 'em. of course, i'm not so obst... 
Martin Logan Aerius with subwoofer ?????
i would try a pair of vmps' subs - as large as yer room will take, & be sure ya get all the awailable options. use marchand's deluxe version of their xm-9 crossover; its flexibility in plugging in different x-over points, 24db/octave slopes, s... 
Oracle Delphi Power supply
hi stella design,i replaced the power supply on my oracle w/origin-live's dc power supply, & i'm very happy. it wasn't so straight-forward adapting it to fit the 'table, but it wasn't *too* bad, and origin-live's email support was wery good &a... 
The best Cdp that have volume control
there's a resolution audio cd50 that's yust been listed for $1650 on audiogon, if anyone's interested. it *is* a nice sounding unit, regardless of whether or not *i* think it's not worth it spending that much money on a cd-player... ;~) and carl,... 
The best Cdp that have volume control
i'm sorry carl, your argument yust duzzent hold water - yew wood have to try a cd player thru a quality preamp in order to determine whether or not it improves the sound - at least for *one* evening... and, i'm not interested in winning any browni... 
"Krell" is a buzzword
cornfedboy, the alfa digest is actually quite a civilized mailing list - sure, ruffled feathers once in a while, but never anything like that which takes place here. the pantera-digest is actually a bit worse than the alfa-digest, but still doesn'... 
Pre-amp or Pre-pro,, which one to get ?
rockvirgo, ewe are correct, but the preamps w/the processor-default function allows the processor's controls to operate the main 2-channel speakers. a bit more conwenient, i'd think.doug 
The best Cdp that have volume control
take it easy, carl. my opinion, & that of my brother-in-law, are as equally informed as yours - to our ears - which is what's important, imho. our systems are *also* "splendid", in "correctly treated rooms". who cares if you have listened to r... 
Frequency Spectrum Analyzer Software
hi abstract7, re: using equalizers on a hi-res system, i'm only talking about not using these *cheapie* equalizers. but, the pink-noise generators are useful for adjusting your current bass eq, &/or x-over adjustments. this is very useful for ... 
"Krell" is a buzzword
my 164, w/~165k miles on the clock, has prolly been the worst, maintenance-wise, but it's still not bad. and, the only non-normal-wear failures have usually been parts that have *bosch* written on 'em. the gtwe6, w/150k, has been amazingly trouble...
