    I still use my Kraken in my second system, old hammertone type. Looks and sound not for everyone, but good enough for me. I have seen some stack, the PSU on top, big no for me, never do that. I have added fin type legs to mine , looks in keeping with the gothic style. Using it with a Rega Saturn, and some FPS-F1 speakers together a great match.

    Phono/rca sockets replaced .
    This sounds very sweet indeed, though the Krell still whoops its arse with its truck load of power .

    I remember you bringing that to NEBO Ali. It was bloody great.

    Aye sounded good didn’t it?

    Always thought if Dracula were to have a sound system, it would have looked like that.
    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
