| New Vinyl I agree with "mofimadness"; Gillian Welch's "The Harrow & The Harvest" is simply amazing. But then again, when you read the story behind this recording/pressing, no surprise why. Attention to detail is way beyond normal, they even purchased an... | |
| New Vinyl MFSL ultra disc one step LPs (Santana, Bill Evans and Donald Fagen so far). About as good as vinyl is ever going to get IMHO. Just purchased Michell Legrand (Legrand Jazz) and two Van Morrison LPs (Astral Weeks and Moondance) from Music direct; al... | |
| Krell Service I second that, Krell service and support has been outstanding for me. Certainly not cheap, but, you get what you pay for. | |
| Unforggetable song titals "Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict" - Pink Floyd, Ummagumma album. Top that! | |
| Anybody bold enough to try a voltage conversion on your own? In answer to "marktomaras" question; not in my opinion. Hard to be certain, as I was unable to do a direct comparison. However, based on memory, both systems sounded the same in France as they did in the USA. | |
| Anybody bold enough to try a voltage conversion on your own? I have moved to Europe, from the USA, twice. Simply bought myself a 2 kW voltage converter/power stabilizer. Worked perfectly for me. You can use something like this:http://www.eastwestusastore.com/detail-3514-id-577-regulators.htmlAlternatively, ... | |
| Oppo 105. Problems with crossover? Have you read the Oppo "Knowledge Base" article on this subject:https://www.oppodigital.com/KnowledgeBase.aspx?KBID=15&ProdID=BDP-93May help? | |
| Do You Care About AESTHETICS? What Are Your Gear/Listening Room Preferences?... I certainly think HiFi aesthetics are very important. Simple though it may sound, if something is visible in my home I want it to look good/beautiful. In fact, I have just assembled, what I consider to be, a truly beautiful and spectacular soundin... | |
| Grading phono cartridges Part 2. Wow, some serious hard work went into compiling this data. Very useful, many thanks. | |
| Racks made of wood In my opinions equipment racks do play an important role in overall sound quality, especially where turntables are concerned. As I said earlier I use a Core Audio Design plyKraft 3L rack with my TT. Feedback isolation at obscene volume levels is p... | |
| Racks made of wood If you budget will stretch this far, Core Audio Designs wooden racks are not only beautiful, incredibly well made, they are extremely functional. I use one with my Michell Engineering GyroDec turntable, absolutely rock solid. Furthermore, the owne... | |
| 2 channel to 5 channel question(s) I use an Oppo UDP-205 feeding a Krell HTS 7.1 into a Krell TAS. The results on video and audio are excellent. I have no plans to upgrade this system. In my case, the Krell HTS 7.1 is simply acting as a glorified volume control (processing is done ... | |
| How to replace FST Driver Go to this B&W site and download the service manual for your speakers:http://bwgroupsupport.com/manuals/serviceIn my experience these service manuals are sufficiently detailed to be able to work out how to do a repair. | |
| Please recommend a PreAmp for my 5.1 home theatre system In my HT system I use an Oppo UDP-205 to do the processing, feeding the fixed analog 5.1 output into a Krell HTS 7.1. Audio processing in the Oppo is superb and the Krell is just acting as a glorified 5.1 volume control. Works perfectly for me and... | |
| Really satisfied??? At the risk of sounding smug, I am. At the beginning of 2017 I decided to build a TT based system for my office. Turntable is a Michell Engineering GyroDec (full plinth, not the SE version) with an SME IV tonearm and Clear Audio Maestro V2 Ebony c... |
