BAT to BAT - What's Best?
My krell evolution kit heats my entire basement...warmth comes in many packages! 
Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions?
I have all krell evolution gear and Dynaudio C4's...just one of many systems over the years. Many components come and go, some are refined and some are standard bearers..Transparent cable and power cords are unique in that musicians use their ears... 
Suggestions for Cables all with Krell
Transparent cable and power cords are the best for people who actually listen to great music and are familiar with a live concert experience i.e..Boston Symphony Hall or Kimmel center etc. Much experience and money goes into what I say..not hype o... 
Appearance of Totem Forest
I've owned two pairs of winds, Two pairs of Forests and one pair of hawks...none of them had an obvious problem with grain matching. Are these cherry finish? Mahogany hides the matching problem a bit more. What you should concentrate on however is... 
Innerconnects cables
Try transparent Ultra or better IC's and forget the rest! 
Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions?
Transparent PL MM cords will blow you away...try their ultra IC's as well, nothing compares..eberything else seems a waste of time and money. 
BAT to BAT - What's Best?
Owned more gear and cables than probably anyone on this site...I have come full circle and recommend Transparent! There is such a huge difference between there stuff and everything else that it's just sickly good!! Get some on loan and listen for ...

audio reseach ref 3 or krell KTC...?
Yes, I had both home and wen't with the Evo 202 as a replacement for my KCT. ARC is amzing and full but still has a tube signature..akin to a Monet' painting! KCT and especially evo 202 is very close but without the tube signature..i.e. slight sen... 
Anyone heard the Krell Evo 402?
I am running powerlink MM's on the 202 and the 402...as it turns out, the MIT Magnum AC 2 works great on the 505..go figure! FYI, the 505 took alot of run in until it settled down..how many hours on yours? Remember, my first unit was defective..se...

Anyone heard the Krell Evo 402?
Update! I have the 402, 202 and 505. Cast sucks. Balanced is best...new Transparent cabling and power cords are revelational!! I have the sense of being in the presence of live music..no artifacts getting in the way..just music coming through!! 
Anyone heard the Krell Evo 402?
I have one! Gave up the 350 MCX's for it..best solid state I've heard so far. After 100 hours it is entering a very tube like phase...smooth, no glare, great tonal color. All vestiges of solid state edge is gone...completely! No more upper mid for... 
From Krell to McIntosh - Anyone?
Musicaudio, High End requires alot of time and thought..just one wrong power cord can completely change your perspective on a system..tread carefully!!
