Oppo 83 SE having trouble with cd mat on blu-ray
Not sure if it's the same transport, or a simular one as used in earlier Theta Digital Carmen 2's and/or Compli's...but I have owned both of the above. Drawer is shallow, and all the mats I have tried do the same thing with cd's and dvd's. Neither...

Krell CD-DSP cd player repair
Hello Markwayne, call Steve (link provided), he used to be the head of the Krell service department for something like 20 years. Super nice and helpful guy. He services all the old Krell stuff. http://theservicedepartmentct.com/ 
How's this for synergy? of events
Man! sounds like all the posters here have a deep set appreciation for Beer, Tequila, and enjoying a little uninterrupted music listening time while the wife goes away for the occassional trip. Kudos to us all for being in the same boat! My lovely... 
How's this for synergy? of events
I know. I'm married and have kids too. Nice to dream about the times when I could go a little wild and do silly things. But that was a long, long time ago. So I get where you're at. Besides, Barleywine is some seriously wicked stuff and not for th...

So I'm in Fresno. I'll bring even more beer- (Anchor Steam Old Foghorn barley wine!...we'll only need 2 of those bad boys), cigars, and some killer Jazz on Vinyl! You have pizza waiting. Be there in 3 hours. Ha Ha Ha! We can stay up for 2 days str... 
Amps for MBL 111
Hello Jasonw01, I owned those same speakers a little over a year ago and drove them with a pair of Krell MDA 300 monoblocks, (albiet older Krells), but I couldn't believe how much punch and slam I got out of my 111e's. I think you would do well wi... 
Amp circulation question
Hello Rodman99999, Yeah it was a thermal sensor thing. Amps just got too damn hot to be housed inside of a closed cabinet. Happened with solid state Audio Research and also with Krell. Learning experience that prompted 2 actions: (1)never put hot ... 
Amp circulation question
Ok fellow A-gon posters I know this is not my topic, but i have a question regarding heat that i would like to hear from you all about- How hot is too hot? I have tackled my heat problems with custom installed exhaust systems and free standing fan... 
Amp circulation question
As long as you have that air space around the sides and front of the amp you ought to be ok. Many years ago I put a pair of Krell MDA300 monoblocks INSIDE of a closed (custom built) cabinet that had absolutely no ventilation whatsoever. Couldn't r... 
How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music?
Cummon you Testosterone-driven, Macho WWF-lovin', emotionless cage fighters! You gotta have a soft spot SOMEWHERE in your heart? No one song, ever? Have you never thought a song was sung, or performed so awesome that it touches your soul? No harm ... 
How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music?
Josh Groban's "You raise me up" will do it for me. 
Different subwoofer at each corner?
Yes it's true, pull them away from the corners, and closer to your two main speakers. Putting subwoofers in the corner will reinforce the bass alot, but not always in a good way when it comes to music. Also, depending on how deep your main speaker... 
If you could bring back one great artist that has
Miles Davis, Dizzy Gilespie, Johnny Cash, Bon Scott, Ronnie James Dio, John Bonham, SRV, Randy Rhodes, Keith Moon, just to name a few. This list is too hard to pick 1. Too many greats have passed on in their prime, leaving a gap that has never bee... 
Higher-Fi has full page ad in dupont registry
I totally agree with all the other posters. Why wouldn't Chris Moon want to extend the reach of his business and bring the wonderous world of top shelf audio products to a sector of our society who has the money to afford the finer things in life,...
