Just now seeing this thread I want to comment that my experience with a EVO 222 pre and 302 amp(I own them) connected with a Tara cast cable provides as musical and grainless a sound as I have ever had to include ARC, Dartzeel and MBL all within the last two years. Krell elicits a lot of opinions, many negative imo because Dan A may be a bit arrogant(he's entitled) and they haven't been show friendly etc the last few years. I think their politics may not be all they could be but the sound and build quality is outstanding and competes at the very top level of solid state gear. When you consider the cost of European gear vs. USA built Krell it's a no brainer to at least hear the gear before judging it. In closing I also have had FPB amps which were also quite good but Dan knows what he is doing and I think the EVO lineup is awesome and a move forward.
