The KRS-2 is a wonderfull piece. It had a world class line stage, and it's excellence was it's phono circuit.
Much more dynamic than the SP-11 of the day, but one would expect that, given the solid state design.
The guys at Krell are probably the best in the industry at repair and support of product, but My experience with them is that they rarely praise anything but the current production model.
This unit was made for a short few years, and at the time Dan D, was hot in pursuit of pushing the Balanced (XLR) technology. So once they had the ability of balanced inputs to the KSA-80b and the KSA-200b this piece had to be replaced with the KBL. And then they added an outboard box for the Phono.
These rarely ever hit Agon.
Let me know if you need any more info on this unit.
