Is my Placette linestage holding back my Krell AMP


Ok guys, I've been pretty happy with my placette passive linestage up to this point but I've had some people suggest that if I get this Krell FPB 400cx that I should get an active preamp. I am running 1 meter transparent super interconnects from the placette to my amp. Revel Gem speakers and a B15 sub. Current source is a wadia 7 transport and a levinson 30.5 DAC.

I've seen placette passive linestages in much more expensive systems than mine. Is it really my weakest link or should I spend money on a new turntable.

Get a clean used Krell KCT preamp and hook them together with a pair of Krell Cast interconnects. You won't be disappointed. This is one heck of a combo. I owned it and shouldn't have given it up.
