How could they exclude Mike Oldfield? One of the best. 
Mac C2300 vs Aesthetix Calypso/Rhea?
I had the Calypso and replaced it with the PS Audio PCA-2 with outboard PS which is better IMO. I would like to hear the C2300 myself. 
Best way to save cd collection?
I second the PC based storage idea. I am also interested in the Perfect Wave Transport and Perfect Wave DAC from PS Audio. They use outboard hard drives to store music. The PWT stores the CD in RAM so there is no jitter and uses I2s over HDMI to t... 
Kreall amp and tube pre
I don't really know the best sounding entry level Krell amp. Krell no longer makes a low powered amp like the 200. Do you already own the 200?

Kreall amp and tube pre
I have spoken to Krell about the subject. The speakers won't be damaged, Krell has extensive protection on the outputs. The amp will go into protect if it senses DC. But it would be best to be cautious. Put a meter on the outputs of the preamp and... 
Divorcing..Splitting the cd collection..
You should buy her an inexpensive computer with a large hard drive and you and she could load all of the CDs into iTunes. It will take awhile and maybe you two will make up in the meantime. 
Kreall amp and tube pre
I have tried the Aesthetix Calypso, Audio Research LS-16, SP-9 and REF One, Counterpoint SA-3 as well as a few others I can't remember. I am not using a tube pre at this time. I have an PS Audio PCA-2 that is great. And it is a balanced design whi... 
Kreall amp and tube pre
There is a setting that places an input resistor in line but I don't think it is necessary as long as you use a quality preamp that doesn't leak DC. I feel placing anything between the amp and preamp can be detrimental to sound quality. I have use...

How to bridge a Krell FPB 600 into a mono block?
I don't think you can because it is a balanced design which is to some extent already bridged. If you could it would most certainly make it unable to drive low impedences. 
Amp damping factor?
The folks at Krell told me years ago that damping factor was not really that important. 
Mark Levinson ML-1 power supply
I built a PS for a JC-2 but the schematics are on the ML site. The only difference between the ML-1 and the JC-2 is the power supply so you could probably use one made for the JC-2. Seems like it used a 4 pin XLR. The circuit board should have the... 
HDMI or 7.1 out for best AQ
The AVP-2 will only do 5.1. But it depends in general which device does a better job of decoding as well as bass management.
