Upgrading Krell HTS2 to Krell 7.1 HTS
On the avsforum, Kris Deering of "Secrets of Home Theaterand HiFi" seems to imply that both these processors haveexactly the same DACs and analog sections. Watch out forhis review later this month.However, in my communication with Krell, they ment... 
Wadia with or without a preamp ?
Agree 100% with Ignatz. I have a Wadia 27 that run straight into my SS amp will give you a headache in about 30 minutes. I just could not figure it out but once I put my tube pre back into the loop, I could listen to my system for hours. I am not ...

Wadia 270/27ix vs. Sonic Frontiers T3/P3
Gee thanks Lindeman. I must have forgotten to read the audiophile rules which explicitly state that CAL and Krell do not mix -- like oil and water :) Damn, thanks for pointing it out :)

Wadia 270/27ix vs. Sonic Frontiers T3/P3
I totally agree with Jkphoto. I have the Wadia 27 and although initially I too wanted to remove my preamp from the path (CJ Premier 14), after prolonged listening I just had to put my preamp back in. It is just too fatiguing. Try listening to any ... 
Wadia? Should You Go Direct In Or Preout
I have a Wadia 27 and I have it connected thru a CJ Premier 14 preamp. When I first removed the preamp, I was pleased with the better transient and dynamic response, but over time I missed the rich harmonics of the CJ Premier 14 preamp. With the C...

Hello is the Audigon or "Carl_eber_gon". I wish carl_eber was gone. What is up with this constant carping, whining about the Resolution Audio CD50 being God's gift to humanity. It almost seems like when God gave the 10 commandments to Moses, Carl_...
