Clipping triode or ultralinear
I don't think you need to change your listening habits if this is a problem that only happens once every 39 years or more ;-) 
Krell Owners: Is XLR really superior to RCA?
@mtrot Gotcha 
Tony Joe White RIP
I was just listening to his latest album also, so impressed he was still doing it.  Even Elvis covered his tunes.  I will need to listen to more TJW tonight. 
Krell Owners: Is XLR really superior to RCA?
@stringreen  That was my sense.  My pre-amp only has RCA connections but my amp includes XLR.  I've simply been using RCA from pre-amp to RCA on the amp although I have wondered if using an adapter to connect to the XLR on the amp would have a pos...

I wonder how many audiophiles there are these days

I wonder how many audiophiles there are these days

Vinyl sales are still growing at double-digit pace more than 10 years after they started rebounding.https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2018/10/01/vinyl-records-2018-sales/  
Songs where the chorus has just as much, if not more meaning than the main lyrics
"R-E-S-P-E-C-T ! " 
ProAc Response 2.5 Vs. Spendor SP1
@jperry BTW, I called the US ProAc distributor, The Sound Organisation...and they were extremely helpful and pleasant.  They pointed out that there is a Store Locator at the bottom left of their main page https://soundorg.com/Being that I'm in the... 
Phono cable advice.
@tyray I'm definitely in my comfort zone when I have something to obsess over ;-) 
BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER
tough call but put a gun to my head and I have to say Aretha.
