Do you have your Krell hooked up to your tv and/or cable box? 
Amp is plugged to the wall, why use a conditioner?
Gdush,I have a Richard Gray 400 and I recommend it. I noticed no difference with my amp plugged into the wall directly or into the RG400. I actually have all my 2 way components connected to the RG400, and all my HT components plugged into a Monst... 
Annoying Hum SOLVED
Teajay, lol. I would love MG 20's, but due to the WAF, MG 3.6 is biggest I can go. 
SB Touch w/upgraded power supply: good next step?
Lewinskih01,If you want to try a solid state DAC, I recommend the Northstar DAC. It came very close to my Lector DAC and was a step above my Bel Canto 2. I know the Lector is tubed base, but with the tubes I have now it just beat out the Northstar... 
How do I get the most out of the Squeezebox Touch
Hear4,You will find it if you go the website your server is running under (http://ipaddress:9000) I believe it's under the Advanced tab. There will be a drop down box somewhere on the left and one of the choices should be "File Type". 
How do I get the most out of the Squeezebox Touch
Search the Squeezebox forum under the Audiophile section. There is talk about installing some plug-ins/software optimizing the server to improve streaming quality. I haven't tried them myself yet, but from reading the postings it supposedly does m... 
SB Touch w/upgraded power supply: good next step?
Lewinskih01The bridge will allow you to connect to an existing WiFi network. If you already have a router that has the capability to extend your current WiFi network, that will work too. You will get more Ethernet ports that way.If the funds are l... 
SB Touch w/upgraded power supply: good next step?
Obviously the power supply, dac, and SoundCheck mod all make incremental improvements. If money is an issue and you don't hear any clicking sounds through your speaker using the stock walwart, I would say hold off for now. Get a wireless adapter l... 
Best optical cable from Apple TV to DAC
I second Tom6897 recommendation. I've used it from my cable box to HT receiver. In it's price range, I have't found anything better. 
Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter
Badwisdom,I've heard the DAC with a MAC+Amarra at the dealer and you won't be disappointed. 
Logitech Squeezebox sound compared to CD Player
Mapman,I do use an external DAC. What you mean by "tried mod to disable wireless" always adds confusion on the SB forums. So we are on the same page, when I say disabling the wireless mod actually means the wireless radio is ON. When you try the m... 
Logitech Squeezebox sound compared to CD Player
IMO, if you have a SBT and haven't tried Soundcheck's TT3 mod, then you are really missing out. It may not make sense why wireless being disabled has any SQ affects or any of the mods, but this is one of those where you have to let your ears be th... 
Logitech Squeezebox sound compared to CD Player
Mapman,It may not sound veiled at first, but once you apply SoundCheck's mod that disables wireless you will discover how more transparent and detailed the sound gets. Veiled may not be the correct term to use if you are using wireless but you wil... 
Too many DAC decisions
Depending on the type of sound you are looking for, here is the list I've listened toRega - decent solid dac. Has the Rega house sound if you are familiar with Rega gear. I liked it at first, but was wanting more.Northstar USB - silky smooth, tran...
