tube pre amp and Krell FPB 600


Krell in its reference manual says : Tube pre amplifiers , by design, are capacitively coupled. For this reason, the benefit of a direct coupled amplifier can not be realized when used with a tube preamplifier. Additionally , many tube preamplifiers output a great deal of DC. This DC may exceed the servo of a FPB amplifier. Excessive DC level in a signal can damage amplifier , speakers , or both.
Can I use Air tight ATC 2 pre amp with Krell FPB 600 ?
Please advise.
Thanks

When I talked to Krell about using the VTL 7.5 with my FPB650M monoblocks they said no problem at all. I did for awhile and the sound was great, and no problems. I used two other tubed preamps with these amps. Again no problems. Right now I am waiting for a custom made tubed preamp(Singlepower Audio) to go with the Krells. I have never changed over the Krells to "adapt" them for tube preamps. If your thinking about the 7.5 with your Krell, IMO they go very good together.
