Krell KBL or KCT, CAST cable or balanced cable?

KCT will blow away the KBL. Keep the Transparent cable you have, but then get a pair of Transparent CAST cables, not Krell CAST cables and write me back with your findings. I had the same set up at one time and the Transparent CAST destoyed my Transparent Reference XLR interconnects. Good luck and enjoy the dynamics and low end bass detail. Again, avoid Krell's cable as it doesn't sound as good as CAST from Transparent.

Anfield, I believe the difference could be in the type of insulation and solder Transparent uses. The Krell has a cheap rubber outer and the transparent has a different material. I don't think the Transparent is worth the price new, but if you can find them used as I did, then the investment is worth it. A Krell dealer in San Franciso recommended the Siltech version of CAST and they felt it was the best of all the companies licensed to sell the CAST. I think Transparent, Siltech and maybe XLO could make the CAST cable for Krell. I was extremely disappointed with the Krell wire and I am a BIG Krell fan even though I only own the KPS-28C now.

Anfield, have you listen with your own ears? Until you have, you cannot claim wire is wire. I owned Krell for years and I know that is what Dan said in his advertising pitch, but it just ain't so! The Transparent CAST cable sound superior and I should know, I had them both with the KCT, 28c, 750 monoblocks.
