Power cable thoughts for Krell Kav/Proceed Amp 2?
Hi Mbarnes928 - if you want to try some exceptional value for money cables that compete with SOTA cables, try Sablon Audio. I use Purist Audio Dominus and Ann Contego cables throughout my system...except 2 places where i do use the Sablon Audio Gr...

What amp for B&W 803 MATRIX S2 fronts for HT only?
hi BaranowskiThe B&W 801s are a great, great speaker...part of the 'legend' of B&W. The key is you will really need 2 things (among other things) to get them to sound right. Huge power to drive the speaker and particularly to control the b... 
Empirical Audio Overdrive DAC
great review, and really good to read based on a high-end DAC that few have had the opportunity to hear. Thanks for taking the time!!! I know of the MSB stuff but again have not heard...but your comments in comparison to the Overdrive (and what i ... 
What speakers under 2000$US for...
Agree on Magnepan 1.7...question is will it drive enough for someone like Kingpin who says he listens mainly to poprock? If you can do a sub and match it...Velodyne DD series...watch out!!! Sensational 
What amp for B&W 803 MATRIX S2 fronts for HT only?
I actually like the older Matrixes quite a bit. I think you will find the 803s provide you with a much bigger soundstages which you might well enjoy. The also will continue to use up whatever additional power you throw at them from your new amps. ... 
mainstream sleeper audio products....
Hi Phasecorrect,Minimal hassle and intergrating monitors and subs...can be two contrasting goals! ;) fortunately, with certain subs, it is far easier than others. The 2 options i would suggest are: pre-made monitor/sub systems so the setup should ... 
Which amp for B&W 802 Matrix series 3
Hi PRealtor76, Depends on the sound you are looking for...i love tubes personally and have owned a CJ tube amp in the past. Today, i use tubes in my preamp and in my sources...but use SS in my amplification. Everyone has a different 'alchemy' to c... 
What amp for B&W 803 MATRIX S2 fronts for HT only?
I like using higher dedicated power amps for your 2 front speakers (ie, as you suggest, using your pre-outs into the new amp). The B&W guys also own (and use) Classe Audio with their stuff. To a degree, they probably do voice them togehter a b... 
Tweeter Distortion
Hi Oilbird,Look forward to hearing about your switching speakers experiment. That should be a good place to start for your 'diagnosis'. 
gold plating components
i would ask WBT...if they are honest, they should give you a straight answer. if the alloy metal underneath is good quality with good conductivity, you may find a little wear of the gold plating may not make that much difference. For example, Neut... 
Tweeter Distortion
cool...pls let us know. good luck. believe it or not, on my Oppo player, when the volume cranks, the RCA jacks create a crackle in one tweeter...no idea why. but when i use the digital out from my oppo into my DAC and crank it...no tweeter crackle... 
Tweeter Distortion
Hi Oilbird,Could be...if you are hearing the distortion more often at louder levels, there may be a crack in the tweeter which means it needs to be replaced. Can you get a pair of bookshelves or anything else you can borrower just to test without ... 
Pass XA30.5 vs. Belles SA30
Hi Koestner,Since no responses...if both are Class A 30 watt amps, they may have similarities in sound, but i would be surprised if they were the same soundwise. If i had to blindly take one, i would take the Pass XA30.5, but i have read good thin... 
Best Krell amp for a 15amp wall outlet.
Hi Rminsf, Sorry to hear about power limitations. Query: would you rather give up your 750mcx monos...which i am told are some of the best amps Krell ever made...or pay an electrician to come in a see if he can improve or optimize your power suppl...
