Krell Service
I forgot to mention that my first repair took 4 weeks and a susequent repair (new drive had cracked a gear)took 3 weeks...but it was worth the wait. Remember, it takes a week for them to get a unit and process it plus a week for return. 
Anybody heard Krell SACD mkIII?
Mickey, the full upgrade is kind of a discretionary event. By that I mean Krell does not exactly offer an upgrade path for the SACD standard. Rather they replace and repair what is necessary for them to return to you a working unit. As with anythi... 
Anybody heard Krell SACD mkIII?
My unit is breaking in nicely. The V3 version is definately a big plus...quiet, fast and more open sounding with greater power! I was lucky to have mine updated for no charge due to prior service issues.

How am I frying all my amps? Oscillating? Help
I must admit, I've never seen a bigger collection of lost audio nerds than on this post. Leoturetsky, don't f*** around with exotic experiments. Eliminate one thing at a time. Do have your preamp checked for DC first, then if ok take out the zobel... 
How am I frying all my amps? Oscillating? Help
Just trying to point out that somtimes one can be completely unaware of the obvious while looking toward the obscure for an answer. Adding extra networks across your speaker terminals in front of speaker cables that would be better served pulling ... 
How am I frying all my amps? Oscillating? Help
Leoturetsky, how did you wind up with such an eclectic bunch of gear? Get a good integrated amp with a top quality PC from Transparent or MIT for line filtration. Use a decent CDP and well designed cables that work well with any components and red...
