What type of power cable for Krell, confused
Contact Krell for stock replacements. 
dac's ?
Do you mean DCS as in elgar et. al. 
Levinson 33H buzzing on standby
Call Levinson and ask them to trouble shoot your system. Make sure everything is the same as with your 433 setup...same outlets, cords, IC's, preamp etc.. 
Krell KCT vs. Krell evolution 222
If you spend the time mating the 222 with appropriate gear and speakers and use it in cast mode, then it is marginaly better. For the average system a KCT in balanced mode will do just fine. The 222 is more detailed and clear sounding. The KCT is ... 
Integrated Amplifier balanced

A superb match that will bring you to tears as well as rock you out is the ARC VS115 amp...a terrific bargain! I used the VS110 with WP 6's and it was amazing..suggest an ARC Preamp as well, even an older LS 25 would be great. 
Totem
The One's bass response is only 50hz, which is severely limiting for the enjoyment of just about any type of music. I've owned the Totem Winds, Forests, Hawks and home demo'd the Manni-2 sig's. Building a system around the Forests would give you a...
