| Anybody happy with high power Krell? Hi All, If I had bottomless funds , I'd go for the Boulders in a flash. As it is, I buy virtually everything on Audiogon at 30-50 % off retail. Find me some used Boulders at 50% off and I might take the plunge. Anybody used the Pass X-series?David | |
| Anybody happy with high power Krell? The center is for home theater only. I can't set things up optimally until I get one of the rooms in our basement, thanks to my wifes sensibilities. The speakers aren't too heavy, but the crossovers, which are separate, weigh 500 pounds apiece.David | |
| Anybody happy with high power Krell? Hi all, I appreciate your comments. I'm currently using Jm lab Mini Utopias for surround with a center Utopia. When I get my own room in a year or so, I will switch to Mezzo utopias.David | |

| Superb PHONO Preamp ? Hi All, I just changed from the Herron VTPH, a very quiet and slightly warm unit, to the new Vendetta which is integrated into my new CTC Blowtorch preamp. It is fast, musical, has a huge soundstage and mates well with my Koetsu RSP (also new). Th... | |

| EMC-1 vs. Levinson 360s/Sony SCD-1 I've come to the conclusion that a one box system is the way to go for me. I have the SCD-1 and recentlysold my Dodson. I'll wait until the next generation of SACD boxes, Classe, krell, Accuphase come out. Meanwhile, I find myself listening more a... | |
| Best places to find records on Chicago Just went to Surplus Records in Des Plaines. Very good selection, very good prices on most.David | |
| Anybody dealt with HigherFi.com? Chris Moon is a broker. I bought a pair of Rowland 9Ti monoblocks through him for about half price. He was very honest and excellent to deal with. He will also haggle on the used stuff. I have contacted him from time to time on various items and w... | |
| Best places to find records on Chicago Vintage Vinyl has an excellent selection, in excellent condition, but very pricy. I just went to Dr. Wax in Evanston and found some very good albums for much better prices.David | |
| Will Lamm amps drive power hungry speake I already have the 9Ti's. An alternative plan is to upgrade my existing amps to HC's. I've only read about the Halcro's. Never actually talked to anybody that has them.David | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Just added Analog.Basis Debut 5, Graham 2.0, Benz Ruby2, series 2, and a Herron Phono pre through harmonic tech phono cable. Now I just need my room in the basement to be finished so that I can get it acoustically balanced, put the speakers in the... | |
| Fired up the TT for the first time As a confirmed Audiogonoholic, I bought everything except the cartridge on-line, demo or used. I ended up getting a Basis debut 5, a Graham 2.0 (soon to be 2.20) tonearm, a Herron phono stage and a Harmonic Technology crystal phono cable. I bought... | |
| Reasonably priced 2K Phono Preamp? Anybody with any experience with the BAT VK P10 ?. I've heard that the Aesthetix IO's have been having reliability problems. I could go up a little and get either one used.David |
