I had a Krell 700cx and the only thing that made it sing was the matching Krell KCT preamp, connected with Cast cables. Try it, they go together like peanut butter and jelly!
SS balanced preamplifier for Krell FPB 400cx
Currently my system is,
Sony DVD player/Laptop Music Server
Mark Levinson 360S DAC
Balanced Audio Technology VK-3iX Preamplifier
Krell FPB 400cx Amplifier
Focal JmLabs Electra 926 Speakers
Balanced Audioquest cables
I am extremely happy except sometimes I feel that some speed and resolution is lacking. Because I have listened to other components performed flawlessly at other places, I believe tube preamplifier is the limiting factor. I have decided to experiment with balanced solid state preamplifier and currently considering used Mark Levinson 380s, Pass Labs X1 or Ayre K-5xe.
Kindly write your opinions.
