| Exchange Krell KAV-250a for a Pass Labs X-350? Would you borrow the Pass amp from a local dealer? Try a Pass X series pre-amp first. They are truly balanced - like the X 350. I think the KAV-250a is truly balanced?! You might want to try an Adcom GFP750 pre-amp also. It has single ended & ... | |
| My first impression of the Nordost Valhallas. Trappist,You are right on. It is all relative. My house is worth 150K & for $3300.00 I'd prefer to buy used Aleph 2s or used Maggie 3.6s....If I hit the lottery, I'll become an "Original Owner". I go over my wish list during the interminably b... | |
