I hate to bring this up, but your assumption seems to be that your Krell piece is a better stereo preamp than the 568. One might imagine a night of serious comparison to identify if you personally can hear a difference. If the 568 sounds the same, or better, why have the Krell? You could sell it, buy more DVDs and CDs, and be happier in the end w/o the PITA factor. Or, you could sell both of them and get a G. It would additionally allow you to have the SACD/DVD-A surround experience that the 568 is unable to provide. That is provided you have a universal player. I haven't auditioned the G68 yet, though imagine I shall in a couple of years. Krell seems to have better marketing to me, but does it have better sound to you?

Newbie, for real.
