Is Ai convincing me of something real?
@paradisecom I don't agree that asking AI if a pre-amp and an amp are a good match is like asking if blue is my favorite color.  I wanted to know if there were any inherent qualities that made them incompatible or at least what one could do about ... 
Is Ai convincing me of something real?
@tonet64   I hear you about AI telling me what i want to hear but this was a really good suggestion.  Ai thought that loud on the KCT was in that level initially.  It was very wrong.  If i set the volume to that level my drivers would physically c... 
Is Ai convincing me of something real?
i had the gain at 0.  It was the preset that is factory set.  I did once try trimming the input a couple of db and it didn’t seem to matter, or I didn’t take the test seriously.  The trim can go from +6 db to - 6 db.  It was only when i read somet... 
Is Ai convincing me of something real?
My Krell died for the umpteenth time and I was unwilling to send it in again so this seller gave me the Hegel option out of the blue and I took it, relying on him.  This change has really managed to make the sound as it was portrayed to me.  I jus... 
Innuos or Aurender
I also have the Innuos Zenith Mk3 and Phoenix USB Re-clocker.  They were a huge upgrade from using a Mac laptop as source.  The sound was much better with latency set to low and the use of after market power cords...Audioquest Dragaons and Furutec... 
Should I repair Hegel H30 amp which has low level buzz in one channel
Boy, no love for the Hegel.  Bryston, in my opinion would not compete with the Hegel.  I don’t know the one you mentioned but I heard previous ones and it didn’t compete with the Hegel.  The George Meyer suggestion for the Krell seems to me to not... 
Should I repair Hegel H30 amp which has low level buzz in one channel
Bill, Mine is through the speaker but I have a Dac which gives off a high pitched whine...whether on or off.  You have to be close to hear it from the chassis.  It bugs me too.  I guess for now I'll live with it as it quite the trip to have it loo... 
Should I repair Hegel H30 amp which has low level buzz in one channel
Helomech: i never read that Hegel amps have a high noise floor  Where are you getting this info from?  AI response to your comment is: No, Hegel amps are generally known for having a very low noise floor, not a high one. Their SoundEngine technol... 
Should I repair Hegel H30 amp which has low level buzz in one channel
This amp using the serial niumber was sold new in 2021.  Yes, they discontinued the line in 2022.  That doesn't make this an old amp.  It is a four year old amp.  My question which could be applied to any amp is:  if the buzz is inaudible both in ...

Ugliest Component of the Year 2024!
Can't find a picture that fully shows how ugly this krell design is.   Obnoxious blue light that you cannot turn off and giant block letters that make it look like it should cost $2000 at most.   Just horrible. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/l... 
Anyone got good result from pairing Hegel power amp (H20/30) with non-Hegel preamp?
How would you see Krell KCT preamp mating with Hegel 30, 4 meter run of Nordost Valhalla and Thiel CS6 speakers?   I am thinking of buying Hegel 30 and have existing KCT.  Any thoughts?   Thanks.  
Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
I know this is really late in the discussion, but the Audio Setting under Systems on the Zenith has a sub setting called latency. The difference between setting it to low latency with my PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 vs normal, was a night and day di... 
Innous Zenith Mk3 and the PS Audio Directstream Mk2
@thyname  I was able to get a DSD readout and sound using the DSD over PCM choice on the Zenith,  But I encountered a problem that the the PS Audio started the tracks within the same DSD file slightly late.  I used the audio delay feature on the ... 
PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC
acmaier3:  boy somebody is trolling PS Audio.  What are you going on about?  This is a great DAC and your comments seem to be intended to slam PS Audio.  You have an agenda.  I have listened to this DAC for about 3 weeks.  It is amazingly good wit...
