Best amp for Sonus Faber Amati Homage?
From what I know, the Krell mates very well with the speakers. You may need to try changing the speaker placement. 
SoundLab Millennium-3
Thanks for the info. My room has a concrete floor on wall to wall so I do get some additional bass. I have heard so many speakers in the $7500 range and under that do this or that well but overall still sound like boxes. The only speakers I really... 
Pass Labs X1 vs. X2.5
I have an X-1 and it is very natural and dynamic sounding but you cannot get the tube like mids of a tube preamp. It has a little more detail and better bass than the 2.5 worth the difference if that is what the rest of your system can deliver and... 
Why Does A Concrete Floor/Spiked Metal Rack...
Here is my two cents worth and probably nobody will agree with me. The MDF is very good for shelving, and the sand fill is also a step in the right direction. You want to eliminate vibration from the rack and your components. The only thing that s...

Use of Digital Amps: Need serious help
I had the Musician II in my system and while it was one of the cleanest sounding amps I heard, I did not select it for my system. My old Kinergetics just sounded better. Note that there was not that great of a sonic improvement with the comparison... 
what are you listening to lately?
Slipknot1,Do you have the remastered Filmore? It sounds better, also there is a part in whipping post were someone yells out "play all night", that's me when I was 15. Good stuff you are listening to.I have been doing a lot of listening to Mark Kn...
