Intermittent hum in right Krell fpb 350 mono
Sidssp I was thinking that since the "right" IC was now in the Left input of the processor that the amp in question was now driving the left channel.

I should add that all of the equipment (APC, monos, pre/pro, etc.) are on separate 20 amp circuits. Occasionally switching the amp to a different circuit works, but not always. 
Granite under wood for better isolation?
Schipo - Like Actusreus, I found your story fascinating and as they say, above and beyond the call of duty. You are a true audiophile in every sense of the word, not to mention, energetic beyond belief!! 
Granite under wood for better isolation?
2 inch thick maple ought to do it by itself without the granite. But if you just need a place to store the granite - well, underneath the maple would work. 
Can I Use One Channel Of A Stereo Power Amp?
I think you can also. Currently I use a Krell KSA 250 stereo amp for the center channel on one side and the sub-woofer on the other side. Occasionaly I disconnect the sub with no apparent problems for the center channel. 
Krell FPB650m or FPB700cx
I've been partial to monos and love the Krell line. I don't think you can go wrong either way. A friend has the 650s and they really push his Lat 1000's. 
Transfer of Library to a back-up External HD
Thanks to each of you. This is a thread that I wish I could have pulled before it got "on the air". The box clearly stated that the FreeAgent was formatted for Windows and Vista - Duh! Two geeks at Best Buy AND me did not think to check that. I re... 
RCA cable lenght
Mwiliams; Is it not possible to put the monos next to the speakers? - that seems to be the layout of choice most of the time. Mine are about 2 feet from the speakers while the interconnects are about 7' away in either direction without any issues.... 
Berensford DAC
My new Beresford TC-7520 with upgraded Opamp just arrived last week and that, coupled with a new Sennheiser HD 380 Pro headset, makes an excellent combination. The frequency ranges are similar and the sound is great. Perhaps it will get even bette...

Wow! I have learned WAY more than I bargained for when I was only looking for info about cooling my Krells. LOL. . . From what I am reading The Krells may still be alive today, in our living rooms . . just waiting for their supreme commander to gi...

Not to worry Mechans - I wouldn't dare try it as a DIY! LOL! I have absolutely no idea what the heatsink tape is made of . . . guess that would be another question for Krell.

Krell advises that the heatsink tape is installed internally thus requiring dismantling of the amp. Guess I'll just learn to tune out the click.

OK - Here is what Raymond, a servce rep and Krell said: Do not use fans or loosen fin bolts. A remedy would be to send in the amps to Krell for installation of heatsink tape. I am trying to find out if this could be a DIY.He neglected to respond t...

Classicjazz - do you set the Noctuas on top of the amp to pull heat out of the inside or along side to pull heat from the fins?
