Give it time & see what happens Jerry, these things do take a while to reach some kind of an equilibrium temperature.
There are a few similar Krell pre amps if I remember right, the version I used for a while had an inbuilt PSU, though some of them are external ;)
At the end of the day it doesn't matter as long as you are enjoying it :eyebrows:
If it runs cool all the better, it'll last longer :lol:
Hey Jerry,
Lovely looking combination there using Krell & Parasound, big muscle stuff, hhmmmm so nice!
What's the Parasound power output? Does it run in class 'A' and use XLR inputs?
Enjoy lots.

Hi Pete :)
The Parasound A21 is a great amp - it does subtlety in abundance as well as muscle. 250wpc of effortless power. The first 7.5wpc in Class A so it gets fairly warm. Yep, RCA and XLR inputs.
Easily my fave amp that I've used with my MBL speakers - a very fine match.
The guy I bought the Krell pre from (and who wants 1st dibs to buy it back if/when I sell it! ;)) uses a Krell FPB300 power amp ... :hmm: that might be a combo worth trying at a future date!
Left the Krell pre on all night, Mark - not playing music through it, though - but it's still just gently warm. I reckon it's reached thermal equilibrium by now.
Careful Jerry,
When your system starts to look as impressive and cohesive as that you start running out of reasons to swap boxes! :ner:

Nah - there is ALWAYS something better, Martin! - or at least interestingly different ... that is a maxim of the boxswapper credo. :)
I can't afford to explore that on the speaker front, and nor do I want to! - but everything else is up for change. ;)
Never mind that, I want first dibs on your Parasound as I'd love to compare it with my Chord :)Quote:

Or is that taking box swapping too far? :rolleyes:
Your missus TOUCHES your hifi! OMG, I need a lie down - perish the thought! ;)Quote:

So don't hold your breath! ;)
.... but who knows what will come along and take my fancy, boxswapping tart that I am. :eyebrows:
We should have a special section on the forum for horror stories like that :eek:Quote:
