Wyred4S or Belles for Usher Be718?
I have been using Belles 150A Hot Rod for years in my BR system. It is a wonderful amp, excellent bass and soundstaging, with slight tilt to warm side, which you might need with the Ushers, which I have read can be a bit forward.Have never heard a... 
Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass?
I heard them for the first time at the Stereophile show a few years ago in NY and thought they were just plain lean, full stop. Used with LAMM Electronics. I was very disappointed, given the reviews and Wilson's reputation.Neal

Simple iTunes Question
Thanks to all. I used Almarg's instructions and they worked, but I am now wondering if I am missing something. I am not sure I understand the difference between the iTunes music folder, which is what I copied to external HD, and the iTunes Library... 
Tube Rolling - No Change in Sound
Thanks, Mechan. I don't really agree that the Krell is overwhelming my system, or that it is giving all the bass my speakers can handle. Prior to the Wyetech Opal, I had a Hovland HP 100 pre, which was very nice, but the Opal is a big step up and ... 
Krell 300c, 300cx or 250m???
I have had the 300cx for about 6 years and think it is terrific.Neal 
Tube Rolling - No Change in Sound
Thanks for all the comments. I am not sure I am any more illuminated than when I began, given the diverse views, but I suspect the observation that the pre may not be sensitive to tube-rolling may be the most accurate -- at least with the KenRads.... 
Lessloss or MAC PC's w/ conditioner????
I use the regular LessLoss plugged into an original Hydra and it sounds grand. Superior to many of the "big name" PC's I have used. Have not tried it straight to the wall outlet, though. Probably should.Neal

Anti-Cables Vrs Alpha Core AG-1 speaker cable
Agree with Larryken; the IC's with Eichman's are shockingly good for the price, or by any objective measure.Neal 
Transport Recommendations for Audio Note DAC
CEC TL-1X, if you can find one used. Very musical, beautiful construction, even better if you splurge for Reference Audio Mods.Neal 
after Valhalla, i changed to
Nothing. Still think they are magic, after trying multiple other contenders. Only cable close is Stealth Indra. Have one pair in my system, rest are Valhalla, including biwired speaker cables and PC's. 
SS balanced preamplifier for Krell FPB 400cx
Get a Wyetech Opal pre or one notch down in line (Jade?) and you will not have to give up tubes -- and will have speed and resoultion in spades, plus tube magic. And the pre will outlast you!Neal 
iTunes Apple Lossless Setting Mystery
Thanks to all. Mystery solved. Saves me a lot of time. And Audioesq, I discovered a similar trick. I right-click on the song in the Library and the info comes up.Cheers. Neal
