And love Kimber Kable KS series of cables with my krell.
But have tried cardas..nordost..and a few others and absolutely agree that
Upgrading the electronics is the wisest choice.

Hi mclsound, welcome to the thread, I will start by saying that no cables sound the same, and system dependacy is the key, however, when you get to exspereince world class cables, they have a more profound effect than a componet!, kimber is a great product sure enough, but, there is better out there, the merry go around can be endless, I have reached a point, to where my trust has never faulted in a cable company of my choice, which happens to be Tara labs, As i climb the cable food chain, I am in awe all over again, re-discovering my recordings, preference is the key here, you may like one automobile, and I the other, it's all good, keep the faith of high-end audio, everyone has a different method to get where they are going, I sure do!, cheers.

Does any one have exsperience with the newest Krell pre-amp offerings?, if so, please post some impressions here, Thankyou.

I auditioned the Illusion II. I thought it was very smooth, dynamic and musical. That being said, it was probably not the last word in detail retrieval. The liquid crystal display is also not as nice as the previously used dot matrix display. Also the absence of the volume wheel is kind of a step backward. You have to use the small buttons or the remote to change volume settings.
