40 Years of TryingYes I did upgrade the stock passives, and I'm not using a DAX. Upgrading the stock caps with better caps was a jaw dropping improvement.Do you have a pair of Apogees? posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
40 Years of TryingSystem edited: Just a few changes. Added a PLUMM2 interconnect between my phono and pre, and moved the PLUMM to between the SACD player and the pre. Swapped the Krell FPB600 for a Krell FPB600C so ... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |

40 Years of TryingHi G,The bearing made a big difference and is definitely worth the money. It was probably about as much of an upgrade as going from my old upgraded mkIII / mkIV, as going to my mkV. I am pr... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
40 Years of TryingSystem edited: New pre-amp gives me a much more holographic sounding system, and some slight tweeling with some BDR Cones and Pucks, have moved my system up a level. posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
40 Years of TryingSystem edited: Recently I've been investigating power cords and outlets. I've replaced my PS Audio outlets with Wattgate 381 Gold (amp) and Silver (sources) outlets. This was for me a surprisingly ... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
40 Years of TryingYes, good power is always necessary. Even before I had the Premier I had a P300, and always a dedicated line for the amp and another dedicated line for the power conditioner with the front end comp... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |

40 Years of TryingSystem edited: I guess I might need to move this to another category, since it doesn't really look like I'm done. I replaced a Hubble Hospital grade outlet with a PS Audio Power Port for my amp, an... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
40 Years of TryingHey Glen,You are right that I have the best seat in the house, and I really enjoy it. The closet was just an opening into the attic (it's a Cape Cod) but since I had access from another roo... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
40 Years of TryingHi Lapierre,I haven't gotten a Digital Module yet. I mostly listen to LPs and am waiting to hear some reviews on the Module. I'm also very curious about what might happen with DSD, before I... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
40 Years of TryingSystem edited: Just some notes on the new Phantom III. posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
40 Years of TryingI'm really enjoying it. I don't have a CAST amp so the III gives me about as much as I can get from the new Krell series of pre-amps I believe. It's much more open and quicker than the KRC-HR was. ... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |

40 Years of TryingSystem edited: Just added the Krell Phantom III. It's barely warmed up, and not burned in yet, but sounds great. I'll post how it sounds as it breaks in. posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
40 Years of TryingSystem edited: I might need to move this to another forum, but I think I am done for now. Sold my 28c and KRC-HR and got a Phantom III. Also just have my speakers re-ribboned, and replaced my outle... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
40 Years of TryingThanks Lapierre,My chair is only 9 feet from the speakers. If I go back any further the sound stage clumps up, due to a dormer on one side and a build out for AC ducts on the other. The spe... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
40 Years of TryingWell, I know I said "done for now", but while replacing the speaker terminals on my Diva Xover boxes, I managed to damage one of the inductors, so I decided to rebuild the Xovers. I repla... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |

40 Years of TryingWell, I did get the Diva's and have them set up. All I can say is WOW!! While I would like to get my seat back a little more than I can, and maybe get them a little farther apart, the Diva's do sou... posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |
40 Years of TryingYeah, I'm hoping my room is big enough to really support the Diva's, so I won't get rid of the Sig's (with Graz ribbons) before I'm sure the Diva's will better them in my room. My room is 15x20, so... posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |
