Thanks for reminding me of the Shatner album.Lucy in the Sky is to die for.

Krell FPB-300 vs FPB-300c ??
I really doubt it. Krell is not one to introduce a new model without making improvements.I went from a fpb 300 to the 400cx and was really impressed with the overall improvement.

To preamp or not to preamp???
When I got my first Wadia I removed my Krell krc hr and never gave it a second thought. I am extremely happy with the sound. The addition of anything into the signal path that changes the sound can only be a detriment. You have already tried it so...
