Let's see some pics Frankie!
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Krell power driving Kappa 9s.  Photos are optional,  at this point the description has me envying your listening situation.  I have the lowly Kappa 6.1s and the sound amazing to me,  so the 9s combined with Krells and  a good CD on the 490 have to sond glorious.

I haven't heard a pair of Krells in awhile.  They must heat the room in the winter.
