My new Krell LAT-1000. Anyone else like these?
Congratulations! You have one of the best speakers in the world. I lived for almost a year with a pair of LAT1000 in a medium size room with a resonant ceiling and only parted with them because they excited it. Also I found that they sounded best ... 
B&W Signature Diamond : Anyboy heard them?
As usual, it is a question of system and musical taste. I have no experience with the new Signatures, but I still own a pair of the old Silver Signatures SS25 - wonderful speakers when paired with Atma-sphere otl amplifiers and choral or chamber m... 
Best battery type for Nagra PL-P
You should change the batteries as soon as possible - even when the preamp is working with mains the battery has a filter action. I noticed that my PLP batteries where needing replacement because the sound was becoming less full bodied and clear a... 
Best battery type for Nagra PL-P
Sometime ago I had to replace the batteries of my PLP. I did not want to wait for a Nagra replacement and bought 8 D size NiCd cells that I wraped in two thin cylinders - I did not nottice any difference in performance. I think they are 4Ah batter... 
Best CD player money can buy ? MBL, Nagra, Naim?
I currently have side by side an ARC CD7 ref and a Nagra CDC. The ARC is fuller, analog like. The Nagra is really impressive – it digs on the CD finding nuances and detail that no other CD player can find. Which is better? It is not possible to sa...

Conrad Johnson PV-9a VS PV-11
I owned both many years ago. For me the PV11 can not be compared with the PV9a – the PV9a was a much more musical preamplifier, with a better sense of bloom, space and scale, much better dynamics. The PV9a was noisier than the PV11, but if properl... 
CES / THE Show
Did any one have the chance to listen to the Krell system at Mirage Hotel and saw what speaker cables they were using? 
I need a preamplifier for my ml23.5. Please help
Hi, Although the choice of preamplifier depends on source and is a matter of personnel taste I had excellent results, many years ago, with an Audio Research LS2 and a ML23.5. Source was a Primare 104 cd player and speakers were Dynaudio Contour 4.0. 
Krell LAT 1000 with tubes
After several unsuccessful tries to match my LAT 1000s with tube amplifiers I found a fantastic match - the ASR Emitter II exclusive blue. This amplifier controls perfectly these fantastic speakers with a sense of power, lushness and presence that... 
"Reference" Preamps
The preamp section of the ASR emitter II exclusive version blue if you are using this amplifier. I tried connecting my ARC reference 3 to it and use it only as a power amp - volume in optimal position "51" as advised - and it degraded the sound qu... 
Krell FPB 600c 700cx 400cx Heatsink noises.
Hello, Surely,I put the washers between the bolt head and the plates!The temperature did not change. Just read from my new ASR Emitter II exclusive manual: Noise from the main unit while warming up/cooling down - remedy loosen the screws located i... 
Krell FPB 600c 700cx 400cx Heatsink noises.
A friend of mine has an FBP600 that has the same problem, but only a few minutes after being switched off, so it is not disturbing at all. Your (tsssjakkk) really describes the sound it emits!Years ago I had a Jeff Rowland Model 8 that had the sam... 
Krell LAT 1000 with tubes
I have already measured the impedance of the LAT-1000s and found a really low value : 2.1 ohm at 1500 Hz and 3.3 ohm between 80 and 100 Hz. But from my experience sometimes impedance and efficiency are not everything when driving a speaker - some ... 
Forsell/Bremen DAC AES/EBU Input ?
Hi, I own a Forsell Transport and DAC.The digital input and output are BNC connectors - you should buy a RCA-BNC adaptor . Even the original Forsell copper tube digital cable had two of these to convert the RCA connectors to BNCregards
