Krell FPB-300 -W?- Pre- AR MRK 11 or BAT 50SE-51SE
are you going digital only or need a preamp for multi sources and maybe analog? CD only, the Wadia idea above is good. Also, I think Krell amps need something to adjusted to use a tube front end. I own a bat 50se, can't compare it for you though.... 
Does anyone know of a non-digital sounding cd?
The mapleshades are all pretty good. I like Clifford Jordan pretty good. Live at Ethels...Also, The Cheskys, especially the 24/196 ones. 
Retiring my ML 333 for a Krell 300c or Pass x350?

TT disjunction boxes - worth to do ??
Well the box won't help, but the cable you connect to it will. Still may be cheaper to just buy a tonearm cable and saves another break in the connection. I just replaced my VDh cable on my SME IV.Vi with a Graham IC 50. Cost about $500. Very much...

lamm ml2 with wilson watt 6 or 7?
I think, and I could be wrong here, but soundstage.com did a review of the wp 6's with lamm as one of the amps. He loved the combo.I'd guess it'd be great. I have wp 6's and have used BAT vk60 and now a single 75se. Wow...
