| What ever happened to Krell ? I know this is an old thread, but for anybody who might come across this in 2020, I want to say that I'm a recent Krell Konvert and I think the Vanguard and Connect streamer are mind-blowingly good. I had a wonderful Benchmark DAC3 and very good c... | |
| Higher End DACs I'd like to put in a plug to audition the Krell Vanguard DAC. I have the older Connect going into the stock Vanguard Integrated and it's just beautiful. I sold my Benchmark DAC3. Huge upgrade. | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i Stock rPi USB out measures extremely well and I love mine. That said, I recently bought a used Krell Connect that is amazing, but I'm using the krell DAC out, fully balanced differential etc. Probably a bit out of your range even used. I've read g... | |
| What's Worth More on the Open Market - Your Records or Your Audio Gear I've been liquidating my high res discs, mostly multichannel sacd which I've already ripped. I'm still finding solid resale value, typically at or over what I paid, but I do notice more copies available than previously.But to the OP's question, be... | |
| Forever speakers around $5000 I personally have loved my Rega RS5, which have exactly the qualities you're looking for, but the RS7 would improve the bass. The soundstage is huge, they need no toe in -- I much prefer them straight ahead. The mid/highs are nothing short of extr... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? Re speakers: not to enflame anybody, but I believe it's the spiders more than the drivers that need breaking in.Re electronics: I can understand certain components like capacitors benefiting slightly from break in, but I have never experienced an... | |
| [Just for fun] Favorite Thread Derailleurs The Focal 926s are installed and being mercilessly broken in. The Rega RS5s, which I have adored, are replacing the Ascend CBM-170s for L/R duty in the TV room. Peace and harmony are restored to the universe. Life is wonderful.The wife, she still ... | |
| [Just for fun] Favorite Thread Derailleurs This has turned out way better than I'd hoped 😂😂😂Thank you all for playing along, Happy Thanksgiving to those for whom it applies. My Focal 926 are due tomorrow and I'm very excited--though I *might* have forgotten to tell my wife... | |
| [Just for fun] Favorite Thread Derailleurs None of those have tubes, so I'm afraid they're non-starters | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect Using one from my Sony Trinitron to my Vizio sound bar. Absolutely sublime! | |
| Emotiva equipmet, how good is it? Yamaha is so underrated. The integrateds are great, the 801 especially. Check accessories4less, they often have them refurb on sale. | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Binger the Voyager, Sweet Taste of NothingDreamy Euro progressive space-pop, Depeche Mode fans would probably love it. Can usually be found for peanuts on Amazon. | |
| Do 45 rpm 12" LPs really sound better than 33 rpm? I used to produce dance music, and I can tell you that it makes a huge difference in club/DJ music, especially if the final mixdown was to 1/2" 30ips. Not even close, using the same high quality Studer gear (before everything went digital). Thrill... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Haven't tried upgraded cables, but I know that when I added Furman power/line conditioners to my system the difference was quite noticeable. I'd think anything that is better at getting juice to your components, or getting a cleaner, more stable s... | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater I believe in keeping it simple:First, get a Vizio 5.1 soundbar:https://www.bestbuy.com/site/vizio-smartcast-36-5-1-channel-soundbar-system-with-5-wireless-subwoofe...Then, get a single unbalanced interconnect to go from soundbar to TV:https://mitc... |
