Congrats and enjoy your Phantom! It is really a great piece of workmanship. Thanks for the observations on the Krell Phantom vs ARC Ref5SE. They are spot on and mirrors mostly my own experiences with them, however contra eg. the harshness-thing, for which I found you have to reverse the names. Interesting should be comparings between Krell Phantom and ARC Ref10, both with separate power supplies. Best. |

There was a bit of delay in getting my 400e's. After listening to them for couple weeks now, all I can say is they have almost exactly the same sonic character as the 302e up to mild volume. As the volume is turned up, their grip on the speakers is amazing. Even at ear bleeding level, there is no loss of control. Same sound, just louder. Simply, wow!
I'm still using my good old 12 gauge copper cables, so trying different cables would be my next project |

That's great to hear, Steve. I've been wondering how things were going...

I bought the Krell Phantom after comparing, in my system, with the Dartzeel pre, the top VTL pre, and many other preamps in this price range. It depends on the system and personal preferences, but I am quite happy with it.
I saw the specs of the new Illusion preamp and was surprised to see that the specs are identical, even the weight of each module, capacitance, etc. Is it the same, with just a new box? Is there any difference? Has anyone heard the Phanton vs. Illusion? |

I thought the same. It may be just a facelift, so that it can match Krell's new look - starting with Foundation and Connect, and now amps and pre.
