| Esoteric C03 preamp or Mark Levinson 326S preamp- ANY and ALL FEEDBACK / HELP PLEASE Thought I would update my preamp choices...- Owned the Mark Levinson No.326s preamp for about a year and really liked it.

| Krell Duo 300 compared to Evo 302e or 402e? I am considering going to Krell Evo402e from Pass Labs X350.5. Is this Krell a good amp.
