Krell KCT question

Two part questions.
I recently bought a new KCT preamp to match my FPB300cx amp. I was using a KRC2 which is an awesome pre in itself. While the KCT does indeed up the clarity, I feel perhaps the bass is not quite as strong. This is using the CAST connection. Has anyone else questioned the sound of the KCT in this respect?

Part 2:
Allegedly the KCT & FPB can be linked with a DIN cable so as to trigger the turn on process. I have read the manual, contacted Krell and hooked, unhooked the 2 amps three times. I can't seem to get it right as to the proper settings or something. No matter what, the FPB amp just stays on when they are connected with the DIN. It will not even turn off with the front on/off button unless I disconnect the DIN cable. Anyone else have issues with this? Thanks for any input/comments.

I can't comment on 2 because I have never felt the need to trigger via this mode.

But for the first issue. I have the KCT CASTed to a 400cx and not having sufficient bass has never been my problem. Are you sure you are not mistaking accuracy of reproduction with lack of bass? How about on recordings that you know are intentionally bass heavy?
