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
If it runs cool all the better, it'll last longer

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 ...
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!

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.

Sod that, I want first dibs on his Mrs...
My SWMBO gets freaked out any time I change the amp and she can't figure out what buttons to press to listen to Jacqueline Du Pre.
Or is that taking box swapping too far?

Although I have to say that the Krell pre has given the Parasound a new lease of life.
So don't hold your breath!
.... but who knows what will come along and take my fancy, boxswapping tart that I am.

We should have a special section on the forum for horror stories like that
