Krell's new direct i-pod connection.


been using the direct i-pod hook-up on my new krell s-300i integrated (special hook-up cord is included). kinda surprised how "good" it sounds when compared to a "dock type" connection. seems alot smoother/warmer with great depth. has anyone else tried it?. thoughts??

love the fact that the krell remote also operates basic i-pod functions and charges the thing while you play. still prefer my cdp but no by as much anymore. i'm thinking for i-pod users, this type of connection is a good thing.

i-pod classic, krell s-300i. aerial 7b's, velodyne dd12

That's great Levy03, if it's working fine after 6 weeks then your good to go! At my dealer I couldn't tell much of a difference either (probably because of the patchbays and low quality cabling). I did prefer the 400xi in the end at home because of it's warmer and more textured sound...then again, I use a $4000 power cord and $6495 IC's left over from my previous setup. Both units are great sounding...enjoy!!
10k in cables?. i'd venture to guess that really helps sort out the details when comparing components. thought i was a bad-*ss with my cardas ic and audioquest speaker wire lol!. we all gotta start somewhere right?. can't wait to run with you big dog's some day. i gotta find a way to make more money!

cheers
I learned the hard way that sometimes more money isn't the answer, but for some things it don't hurt:O) Enjoy!
since you know the krell integrated so well, any advice regarding power supply and/or upgrades?. good idea or am i drinking the kool-aid a bit?.

just posted a question on the tech forum about installing a dedicated line, porter ports and a surge protector. currently have base $1 outlets and a monster sp.

thanks and cheers

Quality AC lines and recepticles are always a plus. Surge protectors just plain suck! They rob a system of low level detail and alter certain frequency domains which effects tonality, dynamics etc... A great power cord, IC and speaker cables will do the most good however:O)
