Top CD transports vs USB converter shootout
Excellent post Elberoth2; I am surprised dCS, and other high end CDP owners, have not mounted a campaign against your words of wisdom. I recently took the plunge into computer audio (MacBook Air, Audirvana Plus, MF V-link USB-S/PDIF, Krell HTS 7.1... 
Krell preamp KRS balanced user manual ???
You can download the manual directly from the Krell site at:http://krellonline.com/manuals.html 
How to change Krell S-1000 voltage for Europe
One option is to buy one of the older PS Audio power regenerators. These can be set to input 220V/50Hz and output 110V/60Hz. The other option (I have done this twice with an old Krell HTS, I was not the originally purchase either) is to have Krell... 
Sick and tired of hum-please read
I had a similar problem with the audio output from my Dish Network reciver. I solved the problem by replacing the digital SPDIF coax cable from the Dish reciever to my processor with a Toslink cable. No more copper connection between the two units... 
Amarra or amarra symphony???
See my previous post on this subject. The problem with the basic Amarra HiFi software is it does not support HD (24/96 and above) FLAC playback directly. You need to either first convert FLAC to AIFF or upgrade to the full version of Amarra. In th... 
120V/60Hz to 230V/50 Hz AC
See my previous responses to this question (I moved from the States to France twice). You will have no problems provided your equipment is not configured to work on 60Hz power only (newer Krell, Martin Logan, Mark Levinson etc.). In most instances... 
Considering Beveridge, your opinion please.
I couldn't disagree more with the previous post ("Stay away from 20 yr old speakers"). Have you ever heard a pair of Klipschorns, Apogees Divas or even Quad ESL 57s; all these vintage speakers still sound fantastic to me. My own vintage speakers a...

Audirvana Plus Upgrade Problem
Sidssp,Yes, I think you are correct. How do I rectify this problem (I am not very Mac literate)?Marcus 
I just had my Audiogon account hacked . . .
Thanks for the heads-up, could happen to anyone. 
HD Tracks Player
Yes, a MacBook Ait via a Musical Fidelity USB to S/PDIF V-Link II.

See my recent post on this subject. In summary, I found Audirvarna Plus to be excellent.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?icomp&1350140435&openusid&zzMgattmch&4&5#Mgattmch 
Amarra HiFi and 24/96 FLAC Files - Heads Up
OK, so I converted the FLAC files to AIFF using Amarra HiFi, they play fine now. I also downloaded the trial version of Audirvarna Plus, so I could play the FLAC files directly without using iTunes. Comparing the regular CD version of Norah Jones ... 
Amarra HiFi and 24/96 FLAC Files - Heads Up
The previous poster is correct, Amarra HiFi only works with iTunes, which does not support FLAC. According to Amarra I need to convert my FLAC files to AIFF and load them into iTunes. Apparently they will then play at full HD resolution, in my cas... 
Amarra HiFi and 24/96 FLAC Files - Heads Up
I am working with Amarra to resolve this problem, they are very helpful people. It would appear Amarra HiFi will indeed handle up to 192 kHz files. However, they need to be loaded into iTunes to play. This is my problem, loading a HD FLAC file int...
