Krell S-150M Mono Blocks
I have two KRELL S275's; I use one for my HT center channel (bi-amped) and one for right and left rear channels. I use two Krell EVO600e's for right and left front channels. The S275's replaced a Krell 3X250 AMP. The S275 sounds much, much better ... 
Krell FPB 600 or 400cx?
I have owned several Krell amps and pre-amps. I love Krell performance, sound, looks and buld quality. Never had a problem. They really know how to build amps and preamps.Love their products!

Matti,I don't understand what you are trying to say. Please elaborate. 
VIVID AUDIO SPEAKERS
I have great things about YG audio speakers and Vivid Audio speakers. Has anyone compared these two speakers? How do they compare?

If there is an improvement in sound of high-end single box players (like the Esoteric K-01) when used with a high end external clock like the GORb it is very minimal and subtle. In fact the difference with and without the GORb clock is so incredib...

Hi Elberot2That is very interesting! Thank you for your input. I would like to hear from others with external master clock experience.

Hi Guidocorona,I tried the Esoteric G-ORb with the K-01.Use of an external clock with CD/SACD players, especially single box players is still quite controversial. There is a lot of misinformation floating around. Part of the problem, in my opinion...

Audiofeil, I have reviewed many of Alex's contributions in Audogon (and elswhere). I have never met him and do not own any of his products. My inmpression is that he is a gifted and probably brilliant, driven, obessive compulsive perfectionist aud...

Ben,CAST technology was developed by Krell and used exclusively by Krell. Krell has an excellent explanation of cast on their website : www,krellonline.com/cast.htmlMy understanding of CAST: all electronic audio equipment operates in current mode....

Hi Alex,I appreciate your response. However, I am still confused. If a more accurate external word clock does not reduce jitter, how does it improve sound in a single box CD/SACD player that has only one master internal word clock? Synchronization...

If you have a good Krell dealer, between trade-in and discounts, you should be able to buy the 707 for much less than $30,000. $30,000 is a lot of money. On the other hand, compared to the evo 2, which retails for $55,000 for two channels, the 707...

Based on your explanation, use of an external clock does not reduce jitter in a single box player. It should not improve the sound. It appears, an external clock could increase the noise floor and have an adverse effect on the sound.Your comment, ...

I lived with the 450 MCX for several years. When I exchnaged it for the Evo 600 (now the Evo 600E) I did not notice a significant difference (I didn;t A-B them at home). Midrange,bass treble all sound great with both amps. Both have excellent 3 di...

Hi Alex,I have a few follow up questions:What is the accuracy (in ppm) of the clock(s) used in the NWO M? Can you explain in layman terms why a using a highly accurate external clock like a G-ORb would not improve the sound of the NWO M?Use of an ... 
Krell FPB 600 or 400cx?
I agree, Krell monblocks definately sound better than their stereo amps. I have A-B'd the Krell 750mcx (stereo amp) with the Evo 400 (stereo - not the e series). They are very very close. They both sounded great. I had great difficulty picking one...
