i am looking to replace my Krell with tube amps,
Have you considered having your Krell rebuilt.  I just had that done in November and for a whole lot less than the cost of a new amp, I had Krell rebuild my 30+ year of KSA-80B.  Its just marvelous.  So musical.  They put new caps in in and a few ... 
Great Experience with Bill Thalmann @ Musical Technology (equipment repair)
Bill is working on a restoration/update of a pair of Apogee Scintilla One Ohm Ribbons for me.  All the best ingredients being located and defined.  I will let you know how it turns out.  Bailyhill 
Cogging!
The facts are that almost all motors/drives cog to some extent.  Its caused by the finite number of torque pulses delivered to the platter.  Its similar to the smoothness of a car with a 4 cylinder motor vs a car with a 6, 8 12 or 16 cylinder engi...

Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
This is kind of an obtuse question, but why do some amplifier manufactures say to use a preamp between their amplifiers and the streamer when you are only using a streamer and power amp, no vinyl and no other sources.  I understand the need for a ... 
Problem of compensating with cable a component tone problem?
Hello ElizabethHow did your determine that they are sonic matches or just two components that cancel each others coloration?  Or is that what you mean by sonic match?Bailyhill 
If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be?
What a great list.  It shows me that I have a ton of things I have not heard before and look forward to streaming and downloading them.  Thanks to all who posted their favorites.  Now I have my xmas list.  I guess there will be no new tweaks or up... 
I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why.
I have pursued the "minimalist" approach and am very happy with my SQ.  I have been at it for 50 years and went down a few paths.  My current system consists Naim streamer, Townshend Autotransformer Control, Krell KSA-80B power amp and Apogee Scin... 
What will a preamp do for me?
I too follow a "no preamp" preamp approach.  The issues you are having are commonly talked about on the forums.  I have come across the Townshend Allegri+ variable audio transformer.  Its the best volume control I have found.  Its totally natural,...
