i am looking to replace my Krell with tube amps,
Have you considered having your Krell rebuilt.  I just had that done in November and for a whole lot less than the cost of a new amp, I had Krell rebuild my 30+ year of KSA-80B.  Its just marvelous.  So musical.  They put new caps in in and a few ... 
Great Experience with Bill Thalmann @ Musical Technology (equipment repair)
Bill is working on a restoration/update of a pair of Apogee Scintilla One Ohm Ribbons for me.  All the best ingredients being located and defined.  I will let you know how it turns out.  Bailyhill 
Cogging!
The facts are that almost all motors/drives cog to some extent.  Its caused by the finite number of torque pulses delivered to the platter.  Its similar to the smoothness of a car with a 4 cylinder motor vs a car with a 6, 8 12 or 16 cylinder engi...

Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
This is kind of an obtuse question, but why do some amplifier manufactures say to use a preamp between their amplifiers and the streamer when you are only using a streamer and power amp, no vinyl and no other sources.  I understand the need for a ... 
If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be?
What a great list.  It shows me that I have a ton of things I have not heard before and look forward to streaming and downloading them.  Thanks to all who posted their favorites.  Now I have my xmas list.  I guess there will be no new tweaks or up... 
I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why.
I have pursued the "minimalist" approach and am very happy with my SQ.  I have been at it for 50 years and went down a few paths.  My current system consists Naim streamer, Townshend Autotransformer Control, Krell KSA-80B power amp and Apogee Scin... 
What will a preamp do for me?
I too follow a "no preamp" preamp approach.  The issues you are having are commonly talked about on the forums.  I have come across the Townshend Allegri+ variable audio transformer.  Its the best volume control I have found.  Its totally natural,...
