Krell HTS 7.1 for 2 channel or a new or used 2 channel pre?
Oh, I just had another thought.  You may want to work on taming those tweeters first before thinking about changing toslink cables.  In my experience, the higher end toslink cables will make your mids/highs stronger, which could be worse in your c... 
Help please upgrading my old Pre/Pro..
Concerning subwoofers, I may be splitting hairs here but I have heard the HSU 15" subs before.  In comparison to my own subs (which are all hand made by myself), the HSU cabinets will resonate/vibrate/rattle with the strong bass signals.  This may...

@jfondell - I sent you a PM.  I don't know if you got it. 
Real Time Analizers
The inboard mic on the ipad is not a calibrated measurement mic, so there are going to be deviations.  It is fine to use to "get an idea" of your room RTA, but it should not be used to do serious room calibrations.  Google is your friend here:http... 
Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound?
I want to add some information regarding acoustic panels with a wood backing.  I got my order of Rockboard 80 (6 panels).  Two of the panels I was making for another room and I glued 1/4 plywood to the back and then wrapped it with Gilfurd of Main...

Funny thing about the speaker cable. The Neotech NES-3002 is the exact cable I want to implement into my own system. I just haven't gotten to that point yet.  I will most likely look at putting some Furutech rhodium binding posts on my speaker... 
Solid core Versus Stranded Speaker cables
Took a quick look at the Jenving stuff.  They are just using tinned copper (which can actually be cheaper than OFC copper).  It's a plated coating on the copper to prevent oxidation.  It's true that tin is not as conductive as copper, but it is st... 
What to add or change for my system?
Just re-read this thread.  I see that you got SR BLACK fuses.  One of these days, I will probably have try one, but my testing with rhodium plating and Furutech components has been so successful, it may be hard for me to change.  Though, like I sa... 
What to add or change for my system?
oh, forgotRoom treatment - be very careful about acoustic treatments. It can be really easy to over-damp a room and then the sound becomes dead. If you have hard-wood floors, then put as much broadband acoustic panels up as you can (in corners esp... 
What to add or change for my system?
Jumping in here. Like others have said, you have some excellent equipment selected here. Since you are fairly new to this game, I would also suggest (like others) to listen to this system for several months and get used to the sound. I’ve been in ... 
Why no audio from Netflix?
For your information, Netflix will send audio using the "DOLBY DIGITAL PLUS" protocol if the media uses 5.1 channels.  If your device does not support this (which includes most 2-channel DACS), it will not play any audio.  Some of the movies and s... 
Specific Pre-Amp advice
For what it's worth, I did some detailed research on passive preamp stepped attenuators a while back for a different project.  The conclusion I came to was that the current products available from Khozmo were the absolute superior in any passive p... 
Krell HTS 7.1 for 2 channel or a new or used 2 channel pre?
Yup, I totally know where you're coming from.  I used to run silver plated copper speaker cable (Audison wire) and solid-core OCC Silver interconnects until I determined that they really did not match well with very strong solid-state equipment.  ... 
Krell HTS 7.1 for 2 channel or a new or used 2 channel pre?
I remember when I first got my HTS 7.1.  I was coming from a Bryston SP2 and before that a Sunfire Theater Grand.  The HTS 7.1 just blew away the other two processors in sound quality.  I remember thinking that I was just amazed on how "strong" th... 
Krell HTS 7.1 for 2 channel or a new or used 2 channel pre?
Another thought.  If your using PS4 for transport and have a cheap toslink cable for digital, you could potentially significantly improve your audio by upgrading to a better toslink cable.  They aren't severely expensive.  An example would be a 3 ...
