Cary SLP-05 pre + Krell 302e/402e sound? Should I consider a different power amp?
FWIW, I used a Krell FPB 200c with an SLP 05 with no problems at all. I did not have the capacitor jumpers on the amp side for use with a tube preamp engaged at all.It worked fine and sonically added some midrange fullness and body.I think you ... 
Since Krell 302e & Cary SPL-05 have (gain/imp issues) what tube pre is best w/ the krell?

Ayre MX R vs Pass Labs X350.8
GaryThe main drawback of the Ayre for my ears was the absence of bass slam and a less visceral sound moving from a Krell. I understand the current Twenty series is better in that respect but haven’t heard them. I also couldn’t afford them.Dependin...

Ayre MX R vs Pass Labs X350.8
Hi HazyjNo feedback from others here. There was some on WBF.I went with the Pass X350.8. Great amp although I think I would be happy with the Ayre too. The differences, to me in my system are a fuller, more visceral sound. The highs were also more... 
Krell KSA300S Power Conversion
I think you posted this question before and you were told you could not do it because it requires a computer chip / board change but I guess you did not believe it and want to go ahead and try anyway.To save you the hassle, what the previous answe... 
Is there Really a difference between a Krell 400xi intergrated amp and the newer Vandgard?
Krellman is right. I have been pretty much a Krell user most of my time with this hobby (although not having the illustrious models Krellman has used) and the current Krell gear is very differently voiced from the older Krell gear. The Vanguard is... 
Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem?
They should give you better control of your speakers especially the Class A Krell, which is perhaps more of a high current design than the others.All the amps you listed have different sonic signatures so best to try them out. 
Amplifier stand for a Pass X250.8?
