Power line grunge sounds like an excuse to me.....

24.161.9.219

A typical dealer statement(not saying that you are a dealer).You see Krell gear is a big cash cow for dealers.
They know that audiophiles who buy Krell will spend anything in order to get the Krell to sound good.Eventually,the Krell owners will trade
the Krell in after the Krell honeymoon is over and go with another brand...leading to the dealer making double or triple the profit!

Yeah....I used to buy into all those sort of excuses when I owned Krell gear.Many times dealers will tell you that sort of thing in order to sell you expensive power line boxes(conditioners).Dealers will then tell you that you need some expensive power cord that is "worthy" of the Krell-In other words,the stock Krell power cord HAS to be upgraded in order to get the best out of your Krell....they will say the stock power cord is no good.C'MON!!!

I used to fall prey to this sort of advertising scam"Hook Line And Sinker"

The funny thing is I tried a Conrad Johnson PV10a pre-amp(with a lamp cord power cord of all things!)What happened was,all of those supposed "Power Line" grudge stories seemed to mysteriously go away.Hmmmm...go figure?Gone was the
supposed "power-line grudge" sound that you are talking about.
