| Usher cp-6381, lacking in bass? " I owned these ushers for years and they had plenty of bass. I think it's your krell amp. IMO a lot of the krell amps that I have heard don't have a good bottom end, similar to carver amps, a lot of power but no lower end."For bass, his Krell is... | |
| Record cleaning I would call Cable Company and have them send you whatever they recommend for your budget. If you try to make sometning yourself, you run the risk of damaging your records. | |
