A Krell Standard mrkII

I see that Arthur Salvatore has placed the Krell standard mrk II just about at the top of his best Cd players list on his site AUDIO CRITIQUE. I am thinking that in the near future I just might look into purchasing one. I am asking if any of the Audiogon members are using one,heard one or have abstained from using it because of the so called Krell mechanical problems with this unit? I thank all for your response, and a Happy New year to all.

I'm using a DVD Standard as a player and transport into a Benchmark DAC1 and I'm very impressed by how good it sounds on regular CD's.

Needless to say, the transport on it also went bad and had to be repaired. It's not the same transport as used in the SACD Standard, but a DVD transport. It was worth the price getting it repaired and I also updated it to HDMI.

From other Krell users I have spoken to, pretty much all their CD players are up to par, although some suggested the SACD Standard to be a tad bit analytical.

BTW, I'm using balanced outs to a 400xi.
