| What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? Hot Smoke and Sassafras, by the Bubble Puppy. I heard that song in the early 60's and totally flipped out over it. Can't find an LP or 45. | |

| Anyone at home at Krell? I had tried to get some help regarding an amplifier issue with my KAV 250A. This is well before Rondi had passed (rip, prayers). All tech support voice mail boxes were full. So I tried sales extensions. All sales voicemail boxes were full. Imagin... | |

| Benz micro glider cartridge loading advice needed. @quincy No hijack at all. I totally agree with you about this whole phase inversion issue. Color coded wires on the carts are there for a reason and are universal. So, if a manufacturer needs to invert it for some reason, why don't they just inser... | |
| Benz micro glider cartridge loading advice needed. @lewm thanks for checking in again. This whole phase issue is confusing to me. You had mentioned that it didn't make any audible difference. I have to be honest that I have not had any experience with hearing it in my system while out of phase.. ... |
