Woohoo, Krell S-1200 on the way!!!
 

Well, I sold the Marantz AV8801, and finally pulled the trigger on an upscale processor, the S1200. I am super excited. Hopefully this can be the all-in-one, one box solution. Thanks to Serge (PHC1) and Rich (New Guy) for their gracious answers to all my questions. Hoping it will be here by next week. :banana:

Congrats Jeff!
Keep us posted about how it compares to the Marantz. :yes:

Jeff,

Congratulations on your new S1200. Once you have settle in with it, try swapping out the cord. I use a shunyata Cobra ZiTron and it made a difference.

Rich

Thanks Bart and Rich. I probably should have just added this to the previous S1200 thread, and I will add commentary there as well.

Rich, I have never been a cable guy, and use lower end Audioquest ICs and SC, and stock PCs. However, I'm taking a baby step in your direction as I just got some Shunyata Venom 3 PCs for my Mac 452 amp, Oppo BDP95, and the S1200. We'll see if I notice any improvement (part of me wants to be a non-believer so I don't have to spend inordinate amounts of money on cables too, lol!!!)

Jeff congrats on the Krell :)

Jeff - that's great great news! The Krell will be a killer sounding unit no doubt.

Mike

Jeff... Congratulations!!!

I understand what you mean. I started out with an entry level Shunyata cord that friend loaned me.

With my engineering background I was extremely skeptical of power cords and cables as well. From a technical standpoint, power cord should not make any difference if it's made properly with the correct wire size.

I look forward to your impression of the S1200.

Rich

Jeff.......A BIG Congratulations. The Krell S1200 is a beauty.
:thumbsup:

Wow! That is a beauty! I'd love to get an S-1200, but it's a little out of the price range, so I'm may be getting the Foundation. I definitely prefer the looks of the S-1200 though. Congratulations! I can't wait to hear what you think of it - especially following the Marantz AV8801, which lots of folks are raving over and selling their Classe SSP-800 processors to get one.
