PS Audio P300 or Cardas Golden Reference?

Krell components don't appreciate being plugged into power conditioners or regenerators. The sonics will suffer..low level information, transparncy, dynamics, slam etc.. For a cheap but exceeptional IC try a pair of Monster Cable Z Reference Balanced IC's (about $200/pair). I demo's them with my Evo rig against my MIT Oracle V2.2 IC's and it was darn hard to tell the difference!

If you like them, in your system, that's what its all about.

I think I've tried every power conditioner out there. They all made my system worse...yes, they change the sound and it sounds different, but don't confuse different with better.

I would normally say go with the Cardas GR as I have my system wired with them. But one set really won't give you the noticeable improvemant that a cleaner power will. I would start with the power and then add the Cardas GRs as budget permits. One positive about the Cardas GR's is that here on AG they seem to hold thier value. One other suggestion is conatct the Cable Company about their Cable lending Library. That was how I narrowed it down to the GR's for my system. Try a few brands and models and see if you hear the obvious choice for your system.

What about the Cast connections between preamp and amp? I've hear that Nordost now makes a Cast cable that is very good, why not take advantage of potentially better technology if you have the opportunity?
