Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular.

Jwm and others here,

I have the Krell FPB-250 Mono's as well and just recently purchased Art's Audible Illusions Modulus 3B tube preamp. I know there have been discussions on the 'gon about having to put jumpers in the Krells when using tubes to avoid harming them.

But the feedback has been unclear, Krell says you should do it while others say not to worry.

Any thoughts/guidance?

Thanks,

Gary

Thanks JWM. And you didn't experience any degradation in SQ, per the above comments?

Knghifi, could you elaborate more on how you define "grainy"? Curious whether I can hear on my FPB-250m what you heard on your 600's.

Jwm (Jeff?), I was looking at your system thread and don't see the FPB 250m's. Did you acquire them recently? Also, did I read it right you live in Michigan (Oakland County)?

No worries, Jeff, just curious what you have now in your system.

As it happens, my in-laws live in the West Bloomfield area - was just there visiting a week or so ago.

Sounds great - thank you for the kind invitation.
