Thanks Sqjudge, I am getting some great lessons in balanced circuitry. I just knew how good this preamp was at sonic reproduction so I had to inquire. I did not understand the explanation Of Danelk141 so I had to start investigating. You hit it right on the head of the information that I was reading. The deal of adding four more gangs to the volume control was the reason that NAD stated for not adding balanced inputs to this preamp. Only outputs. Still, I guess that specs don't mean anything unless you can interpret them and understand their value. This thread has been very educational for me. But I am afraid that I have asked an impossible question that can only be answered by experience in listening with the desired upgrade in my own set up. Dale
Exchange Krell KAV-250a for a Pass Labs X-350?
Would I gain anything by exchanging my Krell KAV-250a for a Pass Labs X350? I am not dissatisfied with the Krell. It seems to be a pretty good match for my Dynaudio 1.3 Se�s. But yet I do not know what something else would sound like. I do know that these speakers like a chunck of power and they tend to be easy to get good sound out of. If the Pass amps will not be a vast improvement, what would be a good choice? I generally listen to jazz and a bit of rock and classical so my demands are not huge. I am using a NAD Silverline S-100 preamp and I have a Velodyne HGS-15 sub for when I want to rock but for the lighter jazz and classical it is not necessary. The only other upgrade that I am considering is moving to the Harmonic Technology Magic interconnect and speaker cables. I would appreciate some education on what would be the best amp for this set up. Dale
