Purist 35th Anniversary compared to Purist 25th Anniversary
@persephone  The 35th Anniversary Purist Audio Design cables are generally considered the pinnacle of the company's lineup, offering a more refined and detailed soundstage compared to the 25th Anniversary models. While both offer high-end perform...

Crusty Old Git, what an unpleasant ape you are.

Calling all Eggleston owners
Andra III crossover  
Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass?
It should sound like a bass instrument, guitar, drum etc. neither tight or sloppy but a musician should be able to hear what notes are being played or even what type of bass guitar it is. Not sloppy bass with tons of distortion. Dynaudio are not ... 
Calling all Eggleston owners
Yeah gotta listen to the wife! I still have a pair of original Fontaines with granite sides which are still going well 20+ years, purchased ex-dem. Andra III's again ex-dem, blew the tweeters and the resistors on the crossovers. The crossovers a... 
Genesis
SEBTP (hate the Battle of Epping Forest) & Nursery Cryme are their best. When Gabriel split the "Real" Genesis fans followed his solo career. The Collins era was pop, and seen as a sellout, his only saving grace was Wind & Wuthering. Hat...

Purist 35th Anniversary compared to Purist 25th Anniversary
Since your question hasn't been answered I'd be very sure that the 35th anniversary will sound better.  
Help! Pre amp turning on by itself.
Besides there being a ghost in the machine it could be your mains power dipping and then returning to full power. This happens to my preamp. Remove the power cable or switch off the preamp using it's power switch. Ghosties and ghoulies can't get... 
HOW can components be so expensive, and yet customer service is so bad.
Many of the companies you mention have been bought directly or through proxies by the Chinese and they really couldn't give a hoot about service. I'm not talking about smaller Chinese companies which usually offer decent service but Harmon et al ...

How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital?
I grew up with vinyl an aside from the scratches and snap, crackle and pop was the fact that I had to flip the LP every 15 mins or so. When CD came out I wasn't a fan, it sounded harsh, but now with modern DACs it sounds great. Most modern vinyl... 
reliable DDC
@mitch2  I think the best solution for you is the Denafrips Gaia https://www.denafrips.com/gaia If you go with the Mutec MC3+ USB to get the best out of it you will need to attach a 10Mhz master clock, the internal clock is trash. Cybershaft in...

I absolutely love AQ HC power cables. Putting a AQ HC power cable on your Krell will be a game changer (1m is fine, if you can get it to work). It will also give you a bigger bang than ICs, get them later. I know they are expensive but buy used a...
