It's not that I don't believe you! - I'm just confused. Ah - I understand the Krell method - that's the same as my Linn 5103 - a switched resistor ladder - totally analogue as far as the audio is concerned - but "electronically" controlled. I'll read the G95 datasheet.. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
