After listening to my wadia straight into my amp. I sold my tuner tape deck and Pre and have no regrets.

Get rid of Barbra and put in Willie Nelson. Still Enjoying your 5s Craig? I just recently sold the 3s and bought ML Prodigys. there was just something about panel speakers that i missed. I did make sure that the 3s went to a good home. 
Should I Upgrade My Krells
personally I would look at your wires. I am a big fan of Kimber cable especially the selects. you have a cd only system once you think about replacing the Cary I would be thinking of a cd player with a volume control as far as the amp you have a k... 
Bought Wilco and Cowboy Junkies this weekend....
Once you get all of the Cowboy Junkies [ a horse in the country is my favorite ] you must look at Eva Cassidy and Mary Black to add to your favorite Girls. 
Krell Amp Power Cord Upgrade?
If you have 3 horizontal bars instead of the usual 3 vertical you are looking at a 20 amp iec. The Krell amps use them. I am using a Synergistic Research pc on my fbp 300 and cannot think of a better cord. most manufactures offer the 20 amp iec an... 
Help My friend wants to go with some DQ-10s

Krell FPB-300 -W?- Pre- AR MRK 11 or BAT 50SE-51SE
Right about needing "needing something adjusted" I believe that is an industry term. Problem with Tubes is that they will pass DC not good for a direct coupled design. usually protective circit shuts down. But I believe Krell inserts caps to filte... 
Krell FPB-300 -W?- Pre- AR MRK 11 or BAT 50SE-51SE
I would not go to tubes. If you are going to update your cd player consider a Wadia or another player with a volume control. I too had a krc3 with the fpb 300 once i bypassed the pre there was no going back. The tuner, tape deck and the pre went o... 
What is the worst recorded CD you have?
Buckwheat Zydeco A 20 year party.Sounds as most of the songs were recorded on a Ghetto Blaster way to far back in the room Low levels of music combined with high levels of noise.If it weren't for the last song "Hey Baby" this disc would be a coaster. 
David Bowie-Heathen
