Krell Service - speakers buzzing
Update: I tried a few tests with the cheater plug, unplugging one or the other XLR cables; no luck. Today I tried a new preamp using all the same cables and no buzz. I think I’ve done everything to indicate the Krell is the issue?

Thank you everyone. I am trying to figure out how to borrow another preamp. I don’t know a lot of other hifi people locally. I appreciate the link to the service center above. It’s looking that way as I really don’t want to buy a new unit if I don...

Krell KAV-250p - time for change?
You knowledgeable people are killing me! Oh, wait, that’s why I posted in the first place. I will leave the Krell alone. For now. :-)

@ebm Sounds like you are not a Krell fan? Any suggestions I can look into?

These are a bunch of great posts. Glad to hear other 801 owners' experiences, and appreciate the REL suggestion. I will look into all this.

You knowledgeable folk continue to confirm the Krell is a good unit sonically. Hard to replace it just because I don’t like the volume UI.
