Krell Vanguard Integrated vs Bryston B135

Krell Vanguard Integrated vs Bryston B135.

Both are available for about the same price in the SALE page.

I use an Aerial 5 and Marantz CD63ii. I want to replace my ADCOM GFA- 555ii/GTP-500 combo

Will either of these be a solid step up from the ADCOM combo and if so...which sounds better?

Thanks.

Certainly Krell's best sounding integrated. It takes a lot of money in separates to best it.

It is very sensitive to the line cable. surprisingly I like how it sounds with the pc cable it brings. (after trying some 500-1000 dollar cables, transparent, bla bla bla)
