yeah, I think deepak was the one that postulated that they were pre-SACD. The SACD layers better in any instance I've compared, and are easy to A/B depending on how fast your player can switch.

nice! Do you perhaps have the SACD for the Mendelssohn: Italian & Reformation Symphonies? That one sounded a bit off in places, but it might just be my ears. The other 4 or 5 I tried I could not A/B. This one I was able to. Perhaps I just got lucky

search for "tie holder" at Digikey. Richco and Panduit are the two manufacturers that they carry.

that's for quadraphonic records Colin, obviously!

The power squid was a bit bulky for the spot I needed (test bench), so I just ordered one of these: Amazon.com: Cables To Go 14in 1-to-4 Power Cord Splitter ( 29803 ): Electronics Price is good as long as you meet the $25 minimum for free shipping. Better deal even then direct from Cables To Go.

indeed!

very interesting Reks. I had no idea!

um, ebony? anyways, I'd like tortoise shell. Do they come thick enough?

yeah, I think you were one of the ones that recommended it to me. Thanks!

Salamander Synergy Single 40. Like this, but with black perforated sides:

I made the first big shipment. I have a few remaining people left, whom I'll be contacting shortly via PM.

QFT

I'm not sure S/N 03024 previously Sherwood and BlessingX

Still the Krell. Amazing combo really. I haven't made my mind completely up on the K1000... Interesting beast for sure.

Listening vicariously through reading reviews?

Anyone know of any reason that putting a K1000 across the inputs of a step up Stax transformer (no load on the secondaries though) wouldn't A/B to the same as having the K1000 directly on the speaker amp output with no trafo box? Perhaps I'm just hearing things?

no snapping either

Let's hope they went more in the direction of the Accuphase sound, which also uses the same DAC than the 840c.

does amp porn count?

AD1955 with discrete output stage?

Living Stereo box set arrived. So far, the sound comparable to the redbook layer in the SACD. However, my Krell is (as usual) picky about which SACD it will play, so I haven't compared as much as I would have liked.

ha! ok, also O3 and 03 both count the same. I hope I can recruit a certain elephant to help

the first person that calls these the O3 will die a slow painful death. Just have to put the hit out and that will be that.
