"Grid leakage" problem common to tube pre-amps?
You should talk to Krell about this I think. Is there not some small internal change that should be made on your Krell amp to use with tube pre? 
How can i hook this up???
You will need to use two inputs on the AES pre, one for the two channel out from your sacd player and the other for the front L/R pre outs from your anthem. When you are watching movies you will need to set the AES pre to unity gain, try 12 O'cloc... 
will a receiver upgrade make a enough difference
You don't say anything about owning a dvd player? You will need one. You could get the outlaw audio receiver for $499, it has pre out/amp in for all channels and crossover from 60-200hz for sub out. Down the road when you get some more cash you ca... 
Heavy speaker shipment
I did use Ocean Air to ship an amp, they were a great company and did a good job, picked up the amp at my home a couple hours after I called them. 
Heavy speaker shipment
Pilot air freight is said to do it all, they are on the internet. Cost will be high no matter who you get I would guess. 
Naim and Magnepan
It could be the other way around, ribbons are very fast. The Naim will need to drive very fast and somewhat difficult 4ohm load without loss of PRAT on their end. Some amps can not maintain under stress, you could take your amp to a maggie dealer ... 
Budget pre-amp for computer/office system
Passive F.T. audio volume control is said to be a great passive for $500 new and about $300 used. Any of the passives should work for you in that system and sound much better than active pre in your price range. The F.T.Audio has second set of out... 
Krell KSA-150 vs. Simaudio W-3... + ??? pre-amp
I can't really tell you which amp you would like better, I would point out that both amps may be a great match for a passive pre. I have the big brother to the ksa-150 and use a Bent audio passive transformer volume control, this works great and i... 
NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700??
Socrates, tarnish the Krell owner's stereotypes? and what are those? It sounds like you have some of those same stereotypes as dave, you know: Pity, Bose, numb nuts, you GIANT KILLER guy's are a class act all the way. If the other Krell owners did... 
NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700??
Oh, one more thing I forgot to mention. Your friend must be smarter than you! He's still got the GIANT KILLER and you've got what you've got. 
NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700??
Dear DAVID, You should be smart enough to take your old systems off of audiogon, is that to hard for you to do? I could care less what a troll like you thinks, your the one that said you drive the HYANDAI so you could have your system, I took that... 
NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700??
Socrates, the thread was started to talk junk, what part of talking junk don't you understand. Maybe you should get one, you know, put it up against your amp and give us all a report on which blows which away. The audio world is always on look-out... 
Which 16:9, 46" RPT--Toshiba v. Sony
My advice is to do your research on everything out there, go with the company that has the best after sale service. Make sure their is more than one service center in your area should you need it for that brand, they do not fix these big TVs in yo... 
NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700??
As I own a Krell ksa-250 this old thread cought my eye, I thought, hmmm, the nad must be a pretty good amp in deed. I thought I should check the poster's system to see if he had bought one of these great amps, thats when I had to LOL, what do I fi... 
Sacd's
Thanks Tireguy, I had not seen that thread. Someone over at AA was looking for pure DSD recordings. A link to this site with a breakdown of pure DSD recordings was given, had not seen a list on any other sacd site, these do sound very good, much b...
