| Bryston BP-17 cubed or Benchmrk LA4 Preamp Congrats on using the Paragon System E. I have one as well and is extremely well built and crafted. Tough to beat at triple the price | |
| Reasonably priced preamplifier I have found pre's do not contribute as much dollar for dollar for me than amplifiers or speakers. The Benchmark and SPL Elector are both very neutral and quiet. New both can be had brand new for half what your budget is. | |
| Pass labs krell parasound amps An extra thousand should get you a X350.8 used if not a bit less but when the deal pops up it will go quickly. Many have reported the 350 superior in many ways to the 250. I have the 350 | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid Why not stay with what you have? They are excellent speakers | |
| 15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit Maybe more of a setup Fritz had with his stack of Krell's | |
| Anyone at home at Krell? If they do go belly up hopefully, if they are not already available readily, they give up all the intellectual property like schematics and so on so every stand a good chance of fixing everything up down the road. I'm sure that is worth money so m... | |
| What size countersunk screws for Audio Research Ref3 If ARC doesn't pick up use the SAE since it's the states and most likely all will be well. | |
| What size countersunk screws for Audio Research Ref3 Measure the diameter of the threads on the hole. They will fall into a range of the mating fit thread. Just do a quick google search and you will find it. Screws are standards, ARC will not spec a special thread or diameter. For example if... | |
| Amplifier recommendation The Bryston is a light weight compared to the Coda. Hands down Coda all day long between these two amps. | |
| Worth repairing a Velodyne ULD-12 from the 90's? Sell for parts or buy another for parts to solve the issue. If you can't do the work yourself it might be best to sell for parts. Someone out there will need it. | |
| Anyone at home at Krell? Sorry Wil I see a hard landing on this one for sure. VERY hard. | |
| Anyone at home at Krell? Krell’s name is still worth a few dollars so I would be inclined to believe them when they say they will re-open and keep trying. Ripe for a takeover and flip to consumer gear like Luxman did in the late 80’s. That turned out a huge amount of prof... | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used Nice speakers. Based upon the overalls of the amp I would get that moving out of my possession ASAP. I just don’t feel maintenance on an amp is replacing the caps every 8yrs or so. Reselling the B&W’s and adding $8k will get you both a newer m... | |
| Decisions, decisions, decisions What is the model number of the integrated? If it is typical newer mass produced Marantz then the speakers will be severely limited by the amp to the point of the lack of capacitance, small transformer size and so on pretty much needed for the spe... | |
| Anyone at home at Krell? @jkhallpa57 There might be a lot of people scrambling to get their items back if they do go bankrupt. It's not as if they will just send everything back to everyone. Lots of road trips! A company that goes bankrupt doesn't care about anything that... |
