Badnixie, My comments were not directed at you. It was a discussion between me and Csontos. We are ok with it, too bad you aren't.
Whatever I type here is my opinion and it is still my opinion that changing binding posts is no different than buying the wrong wheels for your car and changing the hubs to make the wheels work. Then trying to convince me your car might handle better. I wouldn't be surprised that Krell selected those not so special looking binding posts because they contain less metal than some of the more robust looking binding posts. All binding posts have a litle different sound as do all connectors. I just happen to be a stickler for wanting to hear stereo equipment the way it was intended to be heard. I liked the days when Audio Research hard wired their power cords. Do you know why they did that? Because it is a better connect. Too bad they buckled to the pressure of reviewers and dealers to install IEC sockets even though they know better.
