| We recap, why not re-sist? I’m asking because I have a Krell KRC-3 preamp on the way. Assuming it was made in the first year of its release (1995) that makes it 21 years old by now. It was recommended to recap the unit, but it got me to wondering about the rest of it. Howe... | |
| Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed? Posts like this are proof positive our country is going to pot. | |
| Replace C28 with... ? Might just take you up on that offer, but not immediately. I think I’ll wait and see what changes the new preamp brings for a while, at least. Having borrowed the C28 back from my friend (it was out on loan for a while) I can tell you that I’m enj... | |
| Replace C28 with... ? I'll report in when I get the unit and have a chance to listen for a while.In a world of disposable equipment, it's amazing to think that some components were built to last and are worthy of this sort of attention. My philosophy has always been: ... | |
| Cable Controversy @psag: Couldn’t you have posted something less controversial, like religion or politics?I just came to this section to seek advice on cables myself, having recently upgraded my amp to a Bryston 4BST and preamp to a Krell KRC-3.To expand on your re... | |
| Replace C28 with... ? I was just about to click in here when mhztweaker posted the above. Like him, I want a certain experience, but can't afford it new, so I have to look at (very) pre-owned equipment.Just pulled the trigger on a KRC-3. It's the earlier style with t... | |
| Replace C28 with... ? Hmmm...So, then if anything high-end that I could afford will be older and would need a $300-ish recap job, there’s some question about whether or not I should be looking at tube units so I could (theoretically) replace them more easily and even e... | |
| Replace C28 with... ? Can anyone comment on the differences between a Krell KRC-3 vs KSP-7B and if you think it'd go well with this system? | |
| pc computer used under $500.00 for music only Been posting this a bit today. How about a Raspberry Pi3 with HiFiBerry and Kodi or OSMC? | |
| Yet another Cheap DAC thread... Raspberry Pi3 with HiFiBerry. | |
| FLAC, WAV or AIFF question I went with FLAC. Open source standard that can also be converted if need be. I’m not big on proprietary formats. Using something like EAC (Exact Audio Copy) you can make bit perfect lossless compressed copies for use virtually anywyere. If you wa... | |
| Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software? I see this is an old thread, so please forgive the ’necropost’, but I just did the same with my collection and EAC (Exact Audio Copy) which does intensive error correction and reconstruction, comparing the end result to a database of checksums to ... | |
| Replace C28 with... ? Budget is roughly $1000, perhaps a little more depending on the opportunity, but less is better if I can find something great (read: non 'mainstream') or a 'deal' and save money. I'm only spending that much, because my hope is to sell the C28 whe... | |
| Replace C28 with... ? Well, fellas, I just took delivery of a 4BST Pro in a solid 8+/10 condition with 5 years left on the warranty.Though I'm sure the C28 can be improved upon, in only an hour's time with the new amp I can already hear a decided change over the SAE... | |
| Replace C28 with... ? Y'know, one thing we may have overlooked... the Bryston is the PRO model. Is it possible that a passive might actually work with this amp?http://www.bryston.com/PDF/Other/STPRO_NOTES.pdf |
